Thanks Barack. US terror plots peaked in 2009.
TIME Mag reported:
2009 saw an unprecedented surge in terror “events” on U.S. soil. When analysts tally these events, they refer to anything from a disrupted plot to U.S. citizens traveling abroad to seek terror training or a lone gunman running amok in the U.S…
“There appears to be an increase in [terrorist] activity in the U.S.,” warns Jenkins, who calculates that there have been 32 terror-related “events” on these shores since 9/11, and that 12 of those occurred in 2009.
Last month, Maj. Nidal Hasan, went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood in Texas, killing 13 and wounding 30.
11 US soldiers died in Iraq in November. Two of those deaths were from hostile fire.

Time to crack down on the homegrown jihadists. There’s way too many youtube channels, facebook groups and other websites dedicated to islamic terrorism and imperialism based in the United States and other Western countries. Your freedom of speech ends when you support the mass killing and beheading of your fellow citizens. Enough with this touchy feely politically correct approach to dealing with islamic jihad. More people are going to get killed if we don’t wake up.

Gee, I thought all the radical Islamists were all supposed to stop trying to kill us now that Obama is president… I guess they did not get the memo… Maybe we can have CAIR get the word out…

Do not forget the four police officers that were gunned down in cold blood while eating breakfast. The perpitrator was indoctrinated in prison while doing a life sentence in arkansaw, untill Mike Huckabee commuted his sentence because he had “found God”

Militant Conservative commented:
Barry is comfortable with American deaths. This means he is fine with deaths of citizens to implement his agenda. This is what dictators do. Stay sharp and prepare for a civil war. If your not needed fine, MY LIFE,FORTUNE, and SACRED HONOR. I will not die a slave nor peasant. Come and take it.

The Invisible Legacy of President George W. Bush
[“While there will be those who will forever dismiss President Bush’s tenure in office, I believe that he has an invisible legacy that very few Americans recognize, but from which all have benefited,” Senator Inhofe said. “The bottom line is, because of President Bush there has not been another successful attack on this country since 9/11.
“In the aftermath of September 11th, President Bush brought us together as a nation, prevented our enemies from striking again, and captured many who have tried. President Bush awoke a nation so we could begin to deal aggressively with the threats that were facing us. Because of President Bush we no longer treat terrorists like common criminals but as enemy combatants. We no longer turn a blind eye to nuclear proliferation by negotiating without the real threat of military action. We fully funded a readiness challenged, Cold War-equipped and organized military that had suffered from a decade of no modernization. We have removed threatening regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, freeing 50 million people. We have weakened the al-Qaeda network and its affiliates. We have disrupted terrorist plots and built a coalition of more than 90 nations to fight terrorism. And we have transformed our approach to combating terrorism after the 9/11 attacks.
“The fact is that we are safer today than we were eight years ago. I am not saying there have not been setbacks or problems. I am saying that this President has fulfilled his solemn obligation to protect the American people. President Bush understood that this fight against terrorism was not a sprint; but that it is a marathon and we must remain vigilant, determined, and strong.
“Our nation paid a heavy price on September 11th and we must never forget the Pentagon in flames, the towers that fell, the heroes who forced a plane into the ground, and most importantly, the loved ones we lost. Seven years later, we continue to not only fight for the oppressed, but also help the oppressed fight for themselves.
“We must continue to improve our intelligence collection capabilities, our security measures at ports and airports, train stations, bus stations and public events, and our ability to respond to another attack. We must remain committed to fighting against the extremists and their hate-filled ideology in every corner that they hide. In so doing, we inspire people of the world to reject the terrorists and what they stand for. It will take the continued effort of this entire nation as well as the entire globe to rid this world of terrorism and make extremists an endangered species. We must remain true to the cause of freedom and stay the course President Bush pioneered.”]
