Last week, as President Obama was dancing over Osama bin Laden’s watery grave, I wrote a piece arguing the War on Terror isn’t over. Here is the concluding paragraph:
I am well aware that we are a country weary from more than a decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq. But the uncomfortable truth is that there are still jihadists who wish to kill Americans here and abroad and have the means to carry out their evil intentions. We are only a box cutter away from a painful reminder that the War on Terror isn’t over.
Or that might be a pair of briefs as word came late yesterday of the CIA foiling another underwear bomb plot via al Qaeda in Yemen. Fortunately, in this case, our intelligence remained one step ahead of the enemy. But new plots are being hatched and, heaven forbid, but next time we might not be so lucky. In the meantime, President Obama would be wise to stop gloating. However, as the election campaign unfolds, it will be plain to see that he is not in possession of such wisdom.

"The would-be suicide bomber, based in Yemen, had not yet picked a target or bought his plane tickets when the CIA stepped in and seized the bomb, officials said. It's not immediately clear what happened to the alleged bomber."
So what is he guilty of, making an underwear bomb? Lest we forget, it's "more sophisticated" then ever!!! Oh no, lemme go join the rest of the bleating sheeple as I bleat in fear for a bigger, bigger, bigger, more intrusive gubmint to "save" me from....the guy who hadn't bought a plane ticket yet.

You're missing the point.
The War on Terror IS over, as far as Hamas' "DELIVERER" - Abu Hussain - is concerned.
"And I saw the BEAST rise from the Sea. And he was given a MOUTH, to speak Haughty and Blasphemous words. And he was allowed to exercise authority for forty two months." Revelation 13-5.
If he's dead, come July?
You'll know that it's already too late.

We are in the same situation as the antelope...every morning he gets up knowing he has to outrun the fastest lion. Lion gets up and know he only has to outrun the slowest antelope. Same with terrorism...We have to "get lucky" each and every day. The terrorists need only get lucky...once.
***Lucky, when referring to our stalwart military and police forces means...lots and lots of hard, tedious work.

Are we sure this isn't another FBI informant type arrest?
Goldstein typically gets overly excited about pretend threats like say, Saddam's Iraq. He was so scared of Saddam he supported a trillion dollar debt financed invasion using a military with girls in it (as he was too important to join up of course.)
