At least that is what one former Marine General is claiming:

Responding to criticism from former Vice President Cheney that President Obama is making the nation more vulnerable to terrorism, the president’s National Security Adviser, Gen. Jim Jones (Ret.), told ABC News in an exclusive interview that actually the reverse is true: President Obama’s greater success with international relations has meant more terrorists put out of commission.

“This type of radical fundamentalism or terrorism is a threat not only to the United States but to the global community,” Jones said. “The world is coming together on this matter now that President Obama has taken the leadership on it and is approaching it in a slightly different way – actually a radically different way – to discuss things with other rulers to enhance the working relationships with law enforcement agencies – both national and international."

The problem I have with this is simple. He did not, and would not include any numbers to back up this claim. I have no problem giving Obama credit where credit is due. However, I need to see numbers to validate any claims.

Mr. President, if this is true -- great job! Until then, I want to see real numbers.
