U.S. President-elect Barack Obama said on Monday militants based in South Asia represented the biggest threat to the United States and he was “absolutely committed” to eliminating the threat of terrorism.

“We cannot tolerate a world where innocents are killed by extremists based on twisted ideologies,” Obama, who takes office on January 20, told reporters after naming his national security team.

“We’re going to have to bring the full force of our power — not only military but also diplomatic, economic and political — to deal with those threats. Not only to keep America safe but also to ensure that peace and prosperity continue around the world.”

With the world shocked by the deadly Islamic militant attack on India’s financial center of Mumbai that killed 183 people, Obama pointed to South Asia as the area of greatest concern.

“The situation in Afghanistan has been worsening. The situation in South Asia as a whole and the safe havens for terrorists that have been established there, represent the single most important threat against the American people,” he said.

“We’re going to have to mobilize our resources and focus our attention on defeating al Qaeda, (Osama) bin Laden, and any other extremists groups that intend to target American citizens.”

   Pres.-elect Barack Obama is a puppet of the C.F.R., Bilderberg Group and Trilateral Commission. No wonder the neo-cons are thrilled at his cabinet picks. They see he’s one of them!
