Plot to Attack Ft. Dix Foiled

[Seagoon]

Had this come to pass, it might have been a reminder that the United States is actually involved in a world-wide war against an ideology that knows no borders and will be satisfied with nothing short of absolute hegemony.

As it is, the fact that it was detected means that it will be forgotten in one or two news cycles and we'll go back to believing that when we leave Iraq and Afghanistan we'll all live happily ever after.

Interestingly, had it not been detected and prevented in time, that would have been the government's fault. Talk about a lose/lose scenario.

It doesn't matter what happens, the government is GOING to take a hit regardless in the media over this.

HOW did those 3 illegals get into the country and why didn't the government stop them?

How long did the government know about the plot and why wasn't something done sooner?

Who in the government authorized the phone taps and did they have enough evidence to legally do it?

Where their rights abused by the government during the course of the investigation?

Those are just a few excamples of how the media can and probably will twist the story to make the government look bad. Just wait for the congressional investigation that will probably happen after the ACLU gets involved on behalf of the terrorists.

Believe me, we haven't heard the end of this story just yet if there is any way for the government to come out looking bad.

Yup and as a partial result of that our soldiers are being attackeed alot more often over there then our civilians are being attacked here.

Probably has something to do with less distance to travel and all that to attack America

Remember MT!  There is no global war on terror!  


anyway, it sounds like - with the evidence collected after a year of infiltration - these vermin are screwed, blued and tattooed.

I thought it was common knowledge we can't leave Iraq or Afghanistan, because if we do the terrorists will just follow us here.    So we need to stay there, to keep them from coming here.   Or in other words, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

Mosques, most likely.

Acquaintances, Internet, and cell phone intercepts are what helped nab them.  Nothing like a proper Neighborhood Watch to stifle the Ethnic cleansing hordes of Islam.

*If you're Islamic and take offense at my words, then too bad as they are aimed at the radical Islamists... if you bothered to interpret the comment right in the first place*

well, maybe you were being just a little too clever in your insinuation, "in other words", why don't you just say what you mean.

John9001,

What don't you understand about what I mean?    The phrase "common knowledge" implies a knowledge that is shared by many people, not just one.     I believe it is false knowledge, though -- hence the quote from the Wizard of Oz, which asks people to disregard what they see and continue to believe a fantasy.

In the words of former White House counterterrorism director Richard Clark,

Of course, nothing about our being “over there” in any way prevents terrorists from coming here. Quite the opposite, the evidence is overwhelming that our presence provides motivation for people throughout the Arab world to become anti-American terrorists.

I would think the soundness of his logic has been adequately pointed out today.
