CBS Reporter Lara Logan brings ominous news from Middle East

CBS Reporter Lara Logan brings ominous news from Middle East. The reporter who was raped during 2011’s “Arab Spring” told an influential crowd “’they’ still hate us, now more than ever… The Taliban and al-Qaida have not been vanquished… They’re coming back.” There’s a bumper sticker for ya: “Smart power is dead, Al Qaeda is alive.”

  • This lady had the most violent thing that can be done to them done. Her employer tried in vain to get her to keep it to herself. Now talking about a caring liberal company.

    As for the goat boys (AQ) they have regrouped. The proof is in their actions and the deaths of our service people, the ambassador and the other 3 brave men who didn't have to go but did what every man would've done and that's get into the " shit" knowing you might not make it through.

    The US Military does some things very well, break things and kill the enemy. That's what I was trained to do, that is what those who came before me where trained to do and that is what those who are currently serving are trained to do. It's the pussies in the rear who are not down range who are about "hugging" and "loving" and "helping" our enemies instead of arranging for them to receive their just rewards in hell and taking a dirt nap.

    I hope that this lady stomps all over the nuts of those who condone what happened to her and who are turning a blind eye to just WTF is going on in the Middle East.

  • Being gang raped in Tahrir Square probably brings things into very clear focus. God bless her.

    There is no doubt in my mind that the government has been lying to us. The priority is to "end the war in Afghanistan" not win it. Obama's words not mine. To
    do that without enraging the public and causing it to ask why was the war fought if not to prevail requires a false narrative.

    When I served with the 101st we were taught to win wars and we had a commander in chief who shared the same philosophy. This is a heart breaker.

  • Lara Logan is lying, she's just another white South African. Obama killed Osama, so everything's okay and AQ is finished....Ignore that murdered ambassdor, those trashed embassies. and those dead American soldiers in Afghanistan.

  • Islam will do what it has always done. It will fight with & try to eliminate whatever is not like it. Like it or not, that is the truth. Congrats to Lara for calling it like it is, lets see who will stand behind her when she is attacked, because she will be attacked.

  • I'm guessing the MSM will rip this young lady to shreds if this story gets out. She's South African. I wonder where they can go with that angle.....
