Great News: Obama Administration Has No Idea How Many Americans May Be Training With Al Qaeda

Obviously getting an exact head count isn't possible, but do we really need clueless dolts like this just shrugging their shoulders and uttering vague statements?
The top U.S. diplomat in Pakistan said Friday that the Obama administration does not know how many Americans might have disappeared overseas to train with al-Qaida or other terrorist groups, but the number is not thought to be large.

Speaking to the Pacific Council on International Policy in Los Angeles, Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson outlined a "nightmare scenario" in which people holding U.S. passports receive terrorist training then return legally to the U.S. to commit violent acts.

"They can easily infiltrate back into the United States and, frankly, we don't know what to do about them," Patterson said. "We think there are more out there than we know about."
Hey, that's reassuring. Just soak that part up for a minute: We don't know what to do about them. The system is working!

Good to see all that "outreach" to Obama's Muslim buds is paying dividends.
"We just have to keep working at it," she said.

Patterson said the U.S. is gathering information with Pakistan and other governments to identify and locate such people.

"It's not very many. But it's hard to get a precise number," Patterson said.
It's not very many, but we have no idea how many. But hey, they'll keep working at it!

We're in the very best of hands.

Maybe they'll have a better guesstimate when they're finished with the Census, which is coming soon in case you've missed any of the 24/7 reminders across all media platforms.
