Al-Qaeda
DeMint imagines that Al-Qaeda is a bigger threat then before 9/11 because of President Obama being weak.[5] The truth! Al-Qaeda is a bigger threat than it was. Why? Because The Shrub invaded Iraq and gave Al-Qaeda together with ISIS a chance to get established there. Thanks Dubya! And Al-Qaeda is also a big threat under Trump.
