Terrorists from the Middle East are not this country's biggest problem. Conservatives are.
Progressive policies are finally catching up with all the prosperity, the last Conservative left us.
Yes, this nation will never fall from an attack on our soil. It will happen from within.
The US Constitution has been shredded, by Progressive "Social Engineering", policies
wow, are you saying that main stream media didn't report it yet. I guess you will get that news in 2 weeks. So just like Benghazi you are saying people are making this up?

Amazing how people can be so cavalier about something like this. This isn't about politics. (Nor should the attack on Benghazi be political). This is about terrorists in the US and our OWN national security. Do you all really believe that there are no jihad-inspired terrorists in the US?
Had he found another source to carry out the attack and succeeded would that be cause for you to be concerned? People better wake to the fact that there are people, maybe in small numbers, within the US plotting against the US. Just because you don't read about it, or don't hear about those that are being deported because it was determined that they were potential terrorists, doesn't mean they doesn't exist nor does it mean that the FBI hasnt been monitoring potential terrorists.
Home grown terrorists (in the US)
Quote:
According to the Congressional Research Service’s study, “American Jihadist Terrorism: Combatting a Complex Threat,” between May 2009 and November 2010, law enforcement made arrests related to 22 homegrown jihadist-inspired terror plots by American citizens or legal residents of the U.S. This is a significant increase over the 21 plots caught in the seven interim years after the September 11, 2001 attacks. During these seven years, two plots resulted in attacks, compared to the two attacks between May 2009 and November 2010, which resulted in 14 deaths. This spike post-May 2009 shows that some Americans are susceptible to ideologies that support a violent form of jihad. Roughly one-quarter of these plots are linked to major international terrorist groups but there is an increasing number of Americans holding high-level operational roles in these terrorist groups, especially al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups. Perhaps for these reasons, former CIA Director Michael Hayden called homegrown terrorism the more serious threat faced by American citizens today

Disadvantages faced by potential homegrown terrorists are related to their distance from the Middle East, leaving them still relatively isolated. Their operations are somewhat more ad-hoc and may lack comparable financial backing, training, support network, and specialized expertise that may be found in more centralized members of international organizations, as detailed in the previous section. These shortcomings may limit homegrown terrorists from successfully engaging in independent, large-scale attacks, preferring acts that require less preparation, such as Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s November 5, 2009 shooting at Fort Hood Army Base which killed 13 and wounded 30.
The blind sheikh didn't need an army to do what he did. How many people went to jail - 3/4 people out of the very large following he had. Did it really take 3/4 people to pull that off, or were others involved? What do you think happened to his large following? Did they just close up shop???
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.
I've heard Obama say the same thing about saving money in the past two debates. The wars were unfunded. It will slow down the national debt clock a bit but there won't be any actual MONEY saved.
Saving money we already have and adding less to the national debt (ie. spending money we don't have) are two different things in the real world - just not the political world.
Soooo, the FBI did their jobs? How is that a bad thing?
Cause it is Obama's fault or something....not really sure, it didn't even make the news here in NYC.
