#1 I believe not an instant passes where the Islamists aren't planning our complete destruction.
The most impressive result in the WoT so far has been the fact that nearly 4 years have gone by since that awful day and nothing in the US has been boomed. Although we are barraged on a daily basis by revisionists, liars, and idiots who believe everything that is being done to prevent that is wrong, there are a whole lot of people doing the right thing to protect the US day in and day out and that is readily apparent to me.

#2 We have had a handful of shooters, though. At LAX and the DC "snipers" for example.

#3 Valid point RC, I've always suspected the snipers were jihadis - but I see a difference between wackjobs taking potshots which I don't think is preventable and more sophisticated attempts at mayhem.

#4 Until the do gooders suffer losses of their own. They will continue their crusade for the Bill of Rights. I don't think the Founding Fathers had Nuclear-Terrorism to contend with in 1783.

#5 Don't forget the US Army muslim convert who in 2003 waged jihad by throwing grenades into the officer's tent in Kuwait.

#6 but I see a difference between wackjobs taking potshots

So do I. That's why the Columbus "sniper" wasn't included in the list.

The DC "snipers", however, were Muslim, expressed jihadist sympathies, and received cash and false documents from someone.

#7 Even with a 1000-ship Navy, a national draft, GMD, or the Death Star(s), etc, there is still no such thing as absolute security or safety, as we are dealing with fanatic whose only working rationale is power for the sake of power, and whom have no qualms dusguising or misrepresenting themselves, their loyalties, andor their causes - you know, ARMY OF GOD or LIONS OF GOD/JIHAD. Iff Radic Islam is just a PC diversion for the Clintons and Commies as I believe they are, they gottan know Communist Fascist = Fascist Communist <> Fascist/Communist, Commie Russia-China will never allow any Global Islamist/Jihadist State no matter what they promised or agreed to.
