AND AGAIN – AT 8:46 A.M. ET:  In the latest of a series of obnoxious statements, Field Marshal of the United States (including Vermont) Barack Obama said yesterday that the threat of terror is greatly exaggerated, and is hyped by the media.  He suggested that profit motive was behind the media's attention to the problem.

As James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal might have put it, the people who died on 9/11 couldn't be reached for comment.  From the Jerusalem Post: 

An Islamic-State-linked group beheaded 10 men accused of spying for Israel and Egypt in a gruesome video posted online, Egyptian media reported Tuesday.

The video shows terrorists from Welayat Sinai [Supporters of Sinai], which was formerly known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, decapitate the men, then dump their bodies on a road in northern Sinai.

Before the beheading, the accused were also made to confess on camera that they were collaborators with the Israeli Mossad and the Egyptian military.

The group said that the killing was a response to the Egyptian army's destruction of homes in the northern Sinai.

On January 4, the Egyptian army began the evacuation and destruction of at least 1,200 homes along its border with the Gaza Strip. It is part of a plan in order to expand the existing security buffer zone from 500 meters to one kilometer, as a result of subterranean tunnels that were discovered in the area being used to smuggle arms from Gaza to terrorists in Sinai.

COMMENT:  Field Marshal Obama has been particularly obnoxious recently, lecturing Christians last week, making insulting remarks about the prime minister of Israel at a joint meeting with Angela Merkel of Germany yesterday.  I do wish we'll see the day when the field marshal treats America's enemies as badly as he treats our friends.
