Terrorist Threat Greater Than Before 9-11, Says Expert

I haven’t felt the same since 9-11. And even then, backing out of my driveway, hearing it on talk radio, thinking it was and Orson Wells spoof, realizing it was not, having to stop the car, feeling nauseous, crying but somehow dry.

I pray you’re wrong, too.

I think it’s way optimistic [I’m being kind] to ‘change hearts and minds’ to combat Islam.

[NavyCanDo]

They still don’t know anything about those two Muslim-looking guys casing the Puget Sound Ferries, that was big news two weeks ago.

it would be a lot worse if we weren’t drawing most of them to Irazq

Ironically, the AQ we are drawing to Iraq are our "allies" the Saudis, using weapons from Iran. Great friends, huh? Who needs enemies?

[LibLieSlayer]

muslim hearts and minds respect power and violence only. We need to show them plenty of both!

There is no chance of "winning hearts and minds" with the hardcore jihadis.

Or hardcore Democrats.

I keep hearing this nonsense that "Bush has made us less safe from terrorists" coming from the crybaby left, despite the fact that there hasn't been a single successful terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. My response is always to remind them of how the travel industry cratered after 9/11 because everyone was afraid to go to theme parks, big hotels or conventions for fear that any large gathering place might be a target for terrorists. Recently, the mom's couch-potato Kos bloggers held their first convention in Chicago, where, naturally, they howled and whined about how Bush has made us less safe. Yet none of them seemed to have any fear that the building would be blown up. If they seriously believe they are less safe now than in 2001, how come they would have been afraid to hold that convention in 2002, but they have no worries about doing it now? Could it be because Bush has done such a good job of protecting their worthless butts that they've grown complacent?

Of course, to be fair, it could just be because they assume al-Qaida would never attack the Americans who are doing all their work for them.

President Bush said from day 1 : This will be a long and difficult war.
Why should we be surprised? They have all the money backing they would ever need from sympathetic Gulf State ,Wahabi/salafist supporters and now China is covertly supplying them with weapon .

The vigor and dynamic comments could have been made of either the Japanese or the Germans early on . We won those fights be totally taking the gloves off . It’s time again to totally take the gloves off.
If a certain individual is found to be a key supporter or money man to the Jihad , that individual needs to disappear.
Throughout the world , our best spec ops should fan out and
snuff their little candles of scheming and resistance.

Finel noted that, instead, U.S. foreign policy should focus on "changing hearts and minds" in the Muslim world.

Ah, yes. A children's crusade.

"In short, the war in Iraq has not noticeably reduced the numbers of jihadists outside of Iraq; rather it has created many more fighters to join the movement," he said. "This finding fundamentally undermines the Bush administration's claim that we are 'fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here.'

* sniff sniff *

I smell an agenda.

[apocalypto]

Yet Washington demands amnesty for illegal aliens.
