Lt. Col. Ralph Peters said Thursday during an appearance on Fox Business that the nation’s terrorist enemies had a greater level of commitment to their mission than the Obama administration did.
Speaking in the wake of deadly suicide bombings likely carried out by the Islamic State in Turkey’s main airport Tuesday, Peters said the nation’s law enforcement agencies had done a “remarkably good job” of foiling plots against the homeland. However, he said, the “level of commitment” of the radical Islamists trying to kill Americans exceeded the White House’s will to defeat it.
“Ultimately, statistically, something will happen, as we’ve seen in Orlando and San Bernardino and Boston, because they have a level of commitment we still don’t have,” Peters said. “They are willing, in some cases even eager, to die for what they believe in, and we’re still stuck in half-measures.”
