This is SUPER important and shows us the next target for al-queda: the undefended, unarmed people in our cities. This is the next attack. Our poor visa and border policy is allowing the al-queda hard core terrorists to gather. The masses of iilegal middle easterners residing in certain US cities provides the infrastructure for the terrorists to travel and gather resources.

Homeland security is worried about feeling up grannies at airports. That is not the danger point. READ THIS ARTICLE!

Attacking urban areas will be the biggest mistake they'll ever make.

I have a question for INS chief Ziglar. Do you still feel that its not important to enforce our immigration laws? When this operation goes down, the people will ride you out on a rail. You will be blamed.

One would like to think or at least hope that the "intelligence" community knew about this long before the video tapes surfaced.

Good theory anyway.

They will have it easy here in California, all guns must be locked up and unloaded at all times. I would be surprised if anyone on my street even owns a weapon or has the guts to fight if they are attacked. And then there is this one house....

"Attacking urban areas will be the biggest mistake they'll ever make."

I agree...at least in my 'neck' of the woods.

I forgot about California.

"And then there's this one house...." Curiosity makes me ask, what's with the one house? A crack dealer? Or is that showing my age?

As part of National Military Appreciation Month, the Department of Defense is gathering signatures on a brief message thanking the men and women of the U.S. military for defending our freedom. The compiled list of names will be sent out to our soldiers at the end of the month. So far, there are only about 540,000 names. It is really easy. The web page brings up a space to type your name, city and state.

Unsolicited advice to ALL muslims in America..
If you have any information regarding "Jihadist" cells or warriors in the U.S. - it would be very wise to inform the authorities..

You do NOT want radical Islamic terrorist acts of violence to become a regular occurance in America ---- There are millions of angry Americas, getting angrier by the moment...

Ugly consequences are ahead for the enemy and those that hide, assist and protect the enemy...

Think about that.

I don't know any of my neighbors that has just one gun. I have one neighbor who rides around cutting his grass with a 9mm on his hip.

"Attacking urban areas will be the worst mistake they ever make."

Why? Most of the urban areas on either coast have a disarmed civilian population. They could run wild there and not have any problems until the police got organized.

In the areas where the civilian population has the right to carry a concealed weapon the terrorist is going to have a very short life expectancy.

Just my $0.02
