Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich plans to accuse President Obama of perpetuating “delusions” that terrorist threats to U.S. national security are receding at a dinner in Baltimore on Thursday.

“The tide of war is not receding,” Gingrich will say, according to his prepared remarks for the dinner, which is sponsored by the Maryland Republican Party. “It is a delusion to suggest to the American people that the world is getting safer.”
