“How many terrorist attacks do you think we will suffer in the United States in the next year?” journalist and author Steven Brill asked the former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and current Secretary Jeh Johnson on Thursday.
Ridge refused to “speculate” on a number, but he said terror attacks are inevitable: “Let’s reflect of our past 15 years. We’re safer now than we’ve ever been. There’s still gaps; let’s close the gaps and let’s accept it. And don’t ever, ever change what we do because we’re fearful of another attack. Because another attack is going to happen.” […]
Current DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said a terrorist attack today may look very different from the 9/11 attacks.
“[A]nd if you’re asking how many San Bernardino or Orlando-type attacks will we have in the year 2017, no national security, homeland security or law-enforcement expert is going to — is in a position to quantify it. We have not ended the scourge, the threat of homegrown violent extremism.” …

Home-grown violins? More PC krap speak.
Meanwhile...open borders, 8,000 syrians unpack, and Hilda wants more.....Yeah let’s close those “gaps”
Control the borders you numb-nutz.
Are we sure we want a sickly old lady with a Muzzie handmaiden in the White House? People better think before they vote. Maybe read “13 Hours” or at least watch the movie.
Huma is like Grima Wormtongue
Brilliant. DHS warns while we continue to load America with terrorists, unknown Muslims, illegals of all flavors, and normal leftist, anti-American thugs.
Home grown terrorists?
More like home-imported muslim terrorists.
More like government-manufactured terrorists.
Ask them who will attack us. At least we can get some entertainment value watching them do a Mexican hat dance around the answer.
Government didn’t manufacture them. They imported them.
“Let’s close the gaps’
Um, beggin’ the pardon of all concerned. But, um... ain’t the borders still porous?
And didn’t POTUS stop enforcement?
And didn’t the interviewing reporter just sort of shuck that pretzel logic a pass?
A Homeland Security director who says “we can’t stop it, we can’t help it” is unfit for the job.
There are a surprising number of Somali immigrants living in Minnesota, whether arrived here as children or born here to first generation immigrants, going to join ISIS and Al Shabab.
The men, the fathers, are fundamentalists, the ones demanding foot baths in airports and the right to refuse dogs and alcohol while working as taxi drivers.
We aren’t closing the gaps when the President wants to bring in more “Syrian” refugees and hasn’t improved the screening process that brought in the San Bernadino shooters.
They do in fact manufacture them.
Both Osama bin Laden and the new ISIS leader were both trained by the US State Department.
They weren’t the only ones. State/CIA has poured billions into Syrian jihadis in recent years, at least in part due to Saudi patronage of one Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Yes indeed.
Ridge refused to “speculate” on a number”
Can’t we just ask Valerie Jarret or Obama how many attacks they have planned??
I agree.
Certain directions for rebuilding Ground Zero were Not followed.
They will strike again.
Seeing “13 Hours” will change you. If you didn’t hate Hillary before, you will after watching that film.
