Holder Voices ‘Extreme Concern’ About Terrorist Bomb Makers
NY Times ^ | July 13, 2014 | BRIAN KNOWLTON

Posted on 07/13/2014 7:30:08 PM PDT by Innovative

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. expressed “extreme, extreme concern” on Sunday over reports that bomb makers from Yemen responsible for the 2009 underwear-bomb plot are now in Syria cooperating with foreign militants there, possibly to develop new, nearly undetectable explosive devices.

Asked on Sunday whether that threat was a “clear and present danger,” Mr. Holder responded: “I think it is. In some ways, it’s more frightening than anything I think I’ve seen as attorney general.”

That's why Bush and Rumsfeld said that we need to get the terrorists "over there" not wait until they come here.

Of course Obama totally dismantled the War on Terror, even it's name has been abolished..

Now they may be reaping the consequences.

Whatever.

Get back to what really matters in this country - making sure no more outhouses are called Obama’s Library.

No, Holder has said he stays up nights worried about all the “home-grown extremists” here in the US.

Yes I agree. The threat is real and we need to stay on the offensive against these real threats. Unfortunately Obama is not up to the job.

Al-Qaeda leader Mokhtar Belmokhtar sparks new jihadi terror threat

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/al-qaeda/10964077/Al-Qaeda-leader-Mokhtar-Belmokhtar-sparks-new-jihadi-terror-threat.html

The al-Qaeda terrorist behind the massacre of six British gas workers is recruiting foreign Jihadi fighters returning from Syria to launch attacks on Western targets, defence and security sources have claimed.

Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the terrorist who masterminded the Algerian gas plant terror attack where 40 hostages, six of them British, were killed last year, has fled to Libya after surviving a counter-terrorist operation in which he was reported to have died.

Now it has emerged that he is recruiting foreign fighters from Syria, raising fears of new terror plots against Britain and France.

What a ridiculous statement:

> “I think it is. In some ways, it’s more frightening than anything I think I’ve seen as attorney general.”

They won’t attack Holder, professional courtesy. Thanks Innovative.

Justice Dept finally finds ‘real’ scandal; looking at Obama outhouse parade float

http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/07/12/justice-dept-finally-finds-real-scandal-looking-at-obama-outhouse-parade-float-131157

Since investigating multiple “fake” scandals like the White House Benghazi cover-up and IRS targeting of conservatives seem so petty, Holder’s crew have been itching for something worthy to investigate.

A controversial float in the Norfolk Independence Day parade is just the ground-breaking case they were hoping for.
