WASHINGTON (CNN) -- This week's deadly train bombings in Spain will not lead to a rise in the U.S. color-coded terror threat alert system, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said Friday.
"Based on the current intelligence, we have no specific indicators that terrorist groups are considering such an attack in the U.S. in the near term," said department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse.

Sooner or later, however, these folks were [and still are] coming after us anyway, no matter what Israel or the U.S. does. It's not as if we "made" them like us any less. It's always been death to the "American Satan" for these folks. Look at 9-11. It happened and we weren't invading anyone. Turning your back on your enemy will only get you killed faster. These folks have no honor.
Therefore, I stand by my President. Fight them at their end of the field and try not to let them get inside your 20 yard line. If they make it past our troopers overseas, and make it past our homeland defenses, they will meet us: a rifle or shotgun behind every blade of grass. No we can not protect ourselves against a suicide bomber, but after another attack here, I think Americans can [and I think will] preempt further action by acting on the islamonazi evil wholesale. By their silence, they have all accepted responsibility for 9-11 and all the other innocents they have killed. In other words, there will no longer be any "innocent" Muslims, except for children. I am threatening nobody...my lock and load was just defensive. But I fear a small percentage of Americans will indeed begin to take them all out over here by virtue of their religious association alone.
As far as overseas action, avoidance and inaction will not bring peace, although it's a nice thought.
I share your concern. I share your prayers. I pray every night that my children can grow up in a world void of violence and hatred. But Jesus said that satan is the ruler of this world. This world is evil. No matter what happens, we must remain faithful to Him until the end, and accept His salvation through grace, so that we will be at peace in the knowledge of our everlasting life with Him. God is in control. "These things must happen...but the end is not yet."
If it comes to a fight on our soil, not all need fight. Everyone has certain gifts, medical, pastoral, even just being good parents!
I honestly do not know the answers. Even I am ambivalent sometimes and don't even want to think about the evil in the world. I want to pretend it is not there. But in order to shield my children from it, I have to face it. I have to be knowledgeable about the threat so I can be armed with all the information possible to mitigate the threat against my sons. No I can't guarantee no harm will come to us, but if I am in a mall [carrying my twin Sigma 9mm with my CHP] and a terrorist is about to act, just like with any felony in the act, they may get me, but I'll be sure and take them with me in order to save others. It's all I can do...Besides watch, pray and be prepared to "stand."
This evil that is Islam is too big for man to fight alone. And the evil of Islam is not just men. It is "powers and principalities" that we fight as well. And only God can win this one...and He will, as it is written in the Holy Bible...but not before we undergo tribulation...and if we die in Christ, we are saved.
God bless us all texkat...all here are in my prayers always. Let us pray for this:
24 "The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."'
~~NUM 6:24

U.S. citizens are cautioned to maintain a high level of vigilance, to remain alert and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness. We are seeing indications that Al-Qaida continues to prepare to strike U.S. interests abroad.

We also cannot rule out that Al-Qaida will attempt a catastrophic attack within the U.S. Terrorist actions may include, but are not limited to, suicide operations, hijackings, bombings or kidnappings. These may involve aviation and other transportation and maritime interests, and may also include conventional weapons, such as explosive devices. Terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets. These may include facilities where U.S. citizens and other foreigners congregate or visit, including residential areas, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels and public areas.
