Speaking at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., on Friday, White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice described the terrorist threat from radical Islam as “violent extremism” and said part of President Barack Obama’s national security strategy is fighting “the very real threat of climate change" and promoting gay rights.
Rice’s remarks followed the release on Friday of Obama’s 2015 National Security Strategy, which updates a similar document released by the White House in 2010.
While saying the radical Islamic group ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) is an offshoot of al Qaeda and that the United States is committed to “countering the corrosive ideology of violent extremism,” Rice called for a “sense of perspective” when assessing that threat.
“Too often, what’s missing here in Washington is a sense of perspective,” Rice said. “Yes, there is a lot going on.
“Still, while the dangers we face may be more numerous and varied, they are not of the existential nature we confronted during World War II or during the Cold War,” Rice said. “We cannot afford to be buffeted by alarmism in a nearly instantaneous news cycle.”

Who still listens to anything that comes from the mouth of Susan Liar Rice, who spread the big lie of the anti-Muslim video that caused Benghazi? Also is our president losing his mind? This is probably the most dangerous time in history for our country concerning, Russia, China, Iran, Muslim Terrorists, N. Korea and imminent economic collapse. Global warming and gay rights? REALLY??
The government must be toppled.
Let's see....these people belong to a religion that's say if you ain't muslim, or if you are Jewish, or if you say a bad thing about their fake-ace, bloodthirsty, pedophilic "prophet", then you can (and should be) killed. By any means necessary.
If THAT is not an "existential threat", such a thing does not exist.
These nutcases would nuke us as soon as they could do it.
Even then rice and Obama would say "its not terrorism, it's random violence".
ANYTHING to avoid saying muslims are killing people everywhere, everyday, in the most horrible of ways and believe they get a ticket to paradise for doing it.
... the United States is committed to “countering the corrosive ideology of violent extremism,”.
So, you want to make it Non- corrosive ideology of violent extremism? What this means/ Or, are you just throwing a bunch of BIG WORDS up on the wall to see if anyone will grovel to your banter?
Every statement you made here is made of nothing but Doublespeak right out of George Orwell.
