So, the war on terror "ends" whenever it was Obama said it. Thanks to turmoil in the Middle East and a recession/depression, most Americans get complacent. Then Boston happens. And now, the Canadians (and maybe the FBI) break up a major attack plot. So now what?
They will just call it something different. "War on terror" changes to "war on religious-types (we're looking at you Tea Party)."Quote:

I don't always see eye to eye with Senator Lindsey Graham, but he's been on a hot streak lately with all of this. Looks like that 30 years of JAG experience has done him some good.
I think Obama just showed his hand. The reason for the "sudden" reading of Miranda to S2 is part of a larger scheme to close Guantanamo.
You know you really screwed up when the House of Saud warned you.

So the two dudes got like a 100k a year from the federal government. Does that make it State funded terrorism? If terrorist can get welfare,then who the hell else is on it??
Just heard on NPR that the Obama administration is "trying to decide" what to do about a growing hunger strike among those incarcerated at Guantanamo. Apparently some are being force fed to prevent starvation. What happened to freedom of choice? Most Democrats believe women have a right to choose regarding thier own bodies, the elderly or terminally ill have a right to choose how and when they die, parents have a right to choose among various forms of medical care for their children...Quote:

I am personally pleased that he was read his rights and cannot be detained indefinately. Sure, right now it's this scumbag, but these leftists will come for me next for whatever they deem to be my shortcomings, and the constitution is the only thing I have to protect me from them (and it's failing rapidly).Quote:

Unexplained, conflicting US global terror warnings now extend to American homeland
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis August 4, 2013, 10:39 AM (IDT)
Saturday night Aug. 3, the global warnings issued last week by the US State Department and Interpol against terrorist attacks covering almost the entire Muslim world, suddenly reached the American homeland. Sunday morning, Aug. 4, as US missions closed in 22 countries, including Egypt and Israel, the New York Police Department went on high alert. Security was beefed up in high-profile areas outside houses of worship and transportation hubs, although Police Commissioner Ray Kelly complained that “a lack of specific information was cause for concern.”
Friday, Aug. 2 the State Department issued a worldwide travel alert warning to Americans overseas of potential al Qaeda attacks in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
Saturday night, National Security Adviser Susan Rice convened security officials on the situation. The White House stated: “Given the nature of the potential threat through the week, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and counter-terrorism Lisa Monaco has held regular meetings with relevant members of the inter-agency to ensure the US government is taking those appropriate steps.”
Nothing in this statement specified the nature of the “potential threat.”
Sunday, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey told the ABC that the threat was "more specific than previous ones" and “the intent is to attack Western, not just US interests.” He reported that the diplomatic facilities closed “range from Mauritania in northwest Africa to Afghanistan.”
Western and Middle East terrorism and intelligence experts say that in additional to the lack of information, at least six elements don’t add up in the various global warnings released since Thursday Aug. 1:
1. Thursday, US President Barack Obama ordered that "all appropriate steps" be taken to protect Americans in response to a threat of an al-Qaeda attack. What does this mean? The experts comment that even if all US agencies were pressed into service worldwide, there is no way they could protect all Americans in the vast area marked out in the warnings.
2. If the threat is specific why does the warning extend to so many countries? Al Qaeda is not even active in all them. If the danger is so immediate, why haven’t any governments in North Africa and as far east as Bangladesh declared their own terror alerts?
3. US officials reported that some of the intelligence came from terrorist communications intercepted by the National Security Agency over the past days. This too raises questions, considering that al Qaeda leaders are wont to avoid electronic media and satellite phones for their communications on operations, preferring couriers who are not susceptible to electronic interception or eavesdropping. The Internet serves them for propaganda and planting red herrings.
4. In the past week, US drones conducted three attacks against al Qaeda targets in Yemen, where the organization is defined by US officials as al Qaeda’s most dangerous affiliate and capable of attacking the US embassy in Sanaa.
The last drone attack Aug. 1 killed five low-profile al Qaeda operatives, who were driving in a vehicle in the Qatan Valley of Hadramouth province (Osama bin Laden’s place of birth).
All 12 US drone attacks in Yemen of the last eight months targeted Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Although its deputy chief Said al Shiri, a former inmate of the Guantanamo Bay facility, was eliminated, AQAP’s entire high command has remained intact and fully functional. In other words, US intelligence counter-terror agencies have not discovered their whereabouts.
5. Neither have they run down the location of al Qaeda’s top leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Tuesday, he released a communiqué accusing US agents of engineering the coup which deposed the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood president by penetrating the Egyptian army. He called for more attacks on America.
6. Saturday, the international police agency, Interpol, published a global security alert following "the escape of hundreds of terrorists and other criminals" in the past month, including jailbreaks in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan. Interpol feared that the escapees would team up with al Qaeda to hit Western targets. Yet none of its 190 member states have declared terror alerts on this score either.
7. Finally, the sweeping warnnings from the Obama administration dramatically refute its own oft-heard claims that al Qaeda is no longer a force to be reckoned with, because it has lost its compact central command and control of its component branches, which have split up into regional franchises operating autonomously. Al Qaeda, they have been saying, is no longer capable of large-scale terrorist attacks on a global scale.

Just another in a long line of "eff-ups" by the worst president in history.
Up to 3 shooters attack Washington Navy Yard.
At least 4 victims dead. As many as 10-12 wounded. 2 shooters "down." Search for one.
Two cops shot. One shooter is a black man dressed in all black. Now the bigger question will be if he or they, if multiple shooters, are muslim or not. And will we ever find out the truth. The attacks came three days after al-Qaeda used the 12th anniversary of 9/11 to call for strikes on America. Who knows??Quote:

A woman who gave her name as Terry Durham said that as she and co-workers were evacuating, she saw a man down the hall raise a rifle and fire toward them, hitting a wall. “He was tall. He appeared to be dark-skinned,” she told the Washington Post.
“He was a tall black guy,” said her co-worker, Todd Brundage, who is black. “He didn’t say a word.”

SWAT officers swarmed the building amid reports of another gunman who might be at large.
“We may have two additional shooters out there,” D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said during a noon press conference.
The two at large suspects were dressed in military garb but are not believed to be U.S. service personnel, Lanier said.
One was a young white man in a khaki-like uniform and the other was a black man in olive colored garb, she said.
