Al-CIA-da and other terror groups are switching tactics. They know they cannot completely cripple the United States, but they can continue to intimidate by smaller operations.

Only a bona fide “analyst” would be naive enough to give such a sanguine analysis.

They should just sit back and watch Obama destroy America from the inside out.

The fact that the perp wanted nothing to do with martyring himself tells us our enemy may be running out of those willing to die for the cause.
This is how we know we are winning, when the jihadis go from suicide missions to remote detonations.
I credit George Bush, but Obama's kept the pressure on too.
I don't mean to underestimate these people, but it is just as important in war to know what you may be doing right as it is to know what you're doing wrong. The fact that the Taliban couldn't convince this guy to go for the 72 virgins is telling.

You gotta love these guys, always ten steps behind the enemy.

Regarding this characterization:
The foiled Times Square attack...
No. It was not a "foiled" attack.
As someone on the radio pointed out a couple of days ago (sorry, I can't remember who); the attack was a success. The terrorist infiltrated, acquired bomb-making material, built a bomb, delivered the bomb, and set it off. The only thing missing was the body count.
While the terrorist, thank God, didn't achieve total success, this was in no way a "foiled" attack. Innocent lives were spared only by the terrorist's incompetence.

Dammit, Faisalo, in Pakistan, we told you not to use cash to buy a plane ticket. You have to blame Bush for causing you to lose your home and causing temporary insanity. Now, you will have to wait until my second term to become my Director of Homeland Security.
