This once again is a slap in the face to this country, the four men he left for dead and their families. This is looked at as a sign of weakness in other cultures. It tells them you can attack the US now because they won&#8217;t come after you. Like Bolton says little Barry wants to handle terrorism from a law enforcement position which is insanely dangerous. As much of a killing machine as obama has been with drones he still refuses to acknowledge the war on terror by taking this softer approach Rogers suggests.<br \/>\n&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Rogers Says Obama Has Gone \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcKinder, Gentler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Against al-Qaeda<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/49121\/mike-rogers\/\">by Michael Crowley|TIME<\/a><br \/>\nThe retiring House Intelligence Committee chief tells TIME that Obama is leaving terrorists &#8220;on the battlefield,&#8221; and explains his charge that Edward Snowden is &#8220;under the influence&#8221; of Russia&#8217;s security service<\/p>\n<p>When you think of spring break, you probably don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t envision a congressional hearing on Benghazi. But politics runs deep in the home of Mike Rogers, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, whose college-age son is spending his time off from school in Washington, D.C., this month, and who attended the hearing his dad convened Wednesday on the 2012 tragedy in Libya that Republicans call a scandal and Democrats a dead horse. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give him any ideas,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rogers said with a chuckle when TIME suggested to his son that spring break should be enjoyed on a Florida beach, not in a Rayburn building hearing room.<\/p>\n<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually the elder Rogers who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about to enjoy a good time. After more than a decade in Congress, the Michigan Republican announced last week that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s leaving the Hill at the end of this year to become a talk-radio host, with a national show syndicated by Cumulus Media. The salary is undisclosed, but presumably large enough for a few luxurious beach vacations. And for a man who loves to talk \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Rogers has long been a fixture on political television \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the new gig should be a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Nor does Rogers seem to be foreclosing a political future, unlike the countless members of Congress who jump to lucrative influence-peddling jobs. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m done with government service,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rogers said with a knowing smile, before unsubtly offering that his show will reach primary states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
