Oh I am sure there will be something on the news tonight about this somewhere between MTA fare increase and the Yankees game.

Default Stupid thread; what attack?

Romney got his arse handed to him last night, now Pubs are desperately promoting fear. The President has shown over 4 years that his approach to foreign policy is far more intelligently planned and implemented than Republicans could every dream of doing. This is why terrorists are today a severely weaked group, decimated by President Obama's actions after he took office. Republicans and Bush employed Neanderthal diplomacy, foolishly thinking that a "shock and awe" display, dropping 12 thousands bombs on defensely Afghanistan, attacking a sovereign nation unprovoked, yielded nothing but failure abroad and an American country that was bleeding to death. Romney is WORSE, as evidenced by his visits abroad. The man has no more business on foreign soil than a drunken sailor on crack.

I haven't heard about this "attack", but rest assured that President Obama has benefited this country mightily by employing a foreign policy so effective, that Bin Laden is GONE, along with countless numbers of his leaders, and change was caused in Libya without putting our troops in harm's way.

Terrorists from the Middle East are not this country's biggest problem. Conservatives are.

Yet another POTENTIAL terrorist attack thwarted...we've had many such successes in the past couple years. Excellent job by those responsible.

If we bring back the troops from foreign countries and put half of money saved to domestic army/troops to protect citizens, what is there to be afraid about.

There is already a thread on this in P&OC forum, thank you for informing us.
Honestly, I think if we would have something on a magnitude of 9/11 right now, Republicans would be so happy.
Absolutely! They`re still spiking the ball over the 4 dead in Libya.

Next topic...
Not only that, but the terrorist was caught before he could even create a plan. He never even found other terrorists to work with--the people he contacted who he thought were Al Qaeda were federal agents. They strung him along for months to see if they could catch anyone else, and set him up with a completely fake bomb. Now he's in jail.

NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg, upon hearing of the plot, said it was probably just some Tea Partier pissed off about his mortgage.
