I am afraid that it is going to happen...one or more malls, one or more schools, one or more stadiums, one or more office buildings...someday we are going to wake up to it just like we did 911. It will be our faith and commitment to get us through and on to victory...no matter how many times they get through.
The fact that it hasn't happened yet is a testament to two things IMHO...one is the most probable, the vigilance and acts of our local, state and federal LEO's. The other may just be that they enemy hasn't decided to unleash what they have here yet.
...either way, some of these nutcases and SIBJs are going to go on their own.
I agree. Supposedly most Arabs who live in the USA are Pro-American according to the MSM. Yeah right. How many more guys like this are there out there? Lots of Arabs here in Nashville area. I suggest that there are more like this. Might explain why we never hear of any Arabs in this country speaking out against Osama, Saddaam and the beheadings. Once a radical Muslim, always a radical Muslim?
The principles of martial science dictate that we must be able to give as well as to receive. We must be able to "take a punch," and move, counterattack. The ambuscade, or "flypaper" strategy of the Iraq campaign, only goes so far: the homegrown jihadists seem to stay at home. And so home is where I agree that they'll hit: they'll hit us where we live, at work, shopping, watching a game.
Many civilians and LEO's are braced for such an attack. And our offensive tactics have provided a great defense, as well.
I agree that the work of the LEO's has been superb, as a thousand plots seem to have been disarmed. Real heroes are walking among us. Civilians are more watchful than ever, too. We will prevail, and victory shall be our history.
