Perfecting how America nabs terrorists is a work in progress. In two of the last three attacks(Detroit and Times Square), it was thanks to the ineptitude of the criminal that America escaped tragedy. It looks like preventing or identifying would-be attackers is still a weak point. Part of the reason for this is tied the laws (including racial profiling) we must uphold which makes catching these folks all the more difficult.
There have been about 30 foiled attacks since 2001 in the U.S. 10 in the last year alone. Moreover, Pakistan has now replaced Afghanistan (along with Somalia and Yemen) as the main breeding ground for Islamic terrorists.

As China's military rises, America's sinks? Great, long piece in Armed Forces Journal about navy budget cuts and the potential ramifications of that decision.
i completely agree with you. due to the attackers ineptitude and luck the higher profile attacks have failed. our luck will not hold and then how will obama and his lackeys (msm) spin it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it really is all spinning.
