Today, FoxNews aired a special program, hosted by E.D. Hill, called Jihad USA: Homegrown Terror. This special is about the terrorist attacks and plots against the United States since September 11th. There are more than you would think. E.D. Hill gave at least eighteen incidences in which we were attacked or plotted against by Islamic extremists. Why doesn’t the Main Stream Media cover it? Because the extremists are not “card carrying members of al Qaeda.” Do you remember in 2002 when a teenager flew a plane into a Tampa building? I do. It was January 5, 2002, only 3 months after 9/11. Everyone said he was just a troubled youth who committed suicide. However, what did not get much press was his suicide note praising Osama bin Laden and his attack on the United States the past September. How about the D.C. snipers? They killed several people in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. After caught, the police found pro-jihadist drawings and writings. In 2002, in Buffalo, NY, six men were trained in Iraq and were plotting an attack against the U.S. In the same year, in Portland, OR, another group was captured under charges of a planned terror attack….
2005—suicide bomber in Norman, OK, outside of a football game
2006—an SUV was driven into a crowd to punish the US government for their world actions
2006—Georgia residents planned attacks on Atlanta, GA, and Washington DC
June 2006—a small faction in Miami planned to bomb the Sears Tower
2006—Seattle, a Jewish school was attacked and several killed
2006—a man runs down 19, killing one, with his car. A self-proclaimed terrorist
December 2006—two men had the supplies and plans to carry out a weapon of mass destruction bombing
May 2007—a plot on Ft. Dix is foiled
Aug. 2007—a man in South Carolina is caught with PVC pipe, drill bits, bullets, a drill, and more for a bomb. He was near a Navy base.
September 2007—a man with a loaded AK-47 was arrested in a park. He claimed to be on a personal jihad.
October 2007—a man with two knives charged Military Police, he was arrested on assault charges.
2005—men rob a Chevron station, they were caught. The search of their apartment revealed jihad books and plans of an attack.
2004—a teenager in the Tampa Airport was arrested with jihad books, one of which was hallowed out and contained a box cutter.
All of these attackers were Islamic extremists. Just because people aren’t members of al Qaeda does not mean they aren’t terrorists. A terrorist does not require a person to be a member of al Qaeda, Hamas, The Taliban, Hezbollah, or the Republican Guard. Terrorism is an ideology. We have become complacent; thankfully the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, NSA, NYPD, and LAPD have not. They are fighting with every resource available. The next time there’s a random shooting or a crazy person running people down with their car, look closer. They might be more than just a “troubled youth.”

And your point is...?
Every organism's heartbeat holds a universe of beauty at http://www.progressiveu.org/blog/green-underbelly
The claim that we have not been attacked since 9/11 is a false one. If we remain complacent, we'll lose, they'll take over, and we will be attacked much worse than those listed above. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!!!
So what you're saying is that to claim we are safer now than we were before 9/11 because we invaded Iraq is a false one?
Every organism's heartbeat holds a universe of beauty at http://www.progressiveu.org/blog/green-underbelly
A) You are putting words in my mouth: Don't!
B) That is not what I'm saying at all. My point is that if we don't keep our eyes open, we'll get attacked. It is a Global War on Terror. Iraq is only one stronghold. Terrorism is being fought all over the world in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Russia, China, Indonesia, North Korea, Japan, Australia, Britain, Germany, Denmark, France, Turkey, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Tailand, Pakistan, India, South Africa, South Korea, the Philippines, Jordan, Lebanon, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, and the list goes on. It's a Global War, hence the name. Since we have been in Iraq, we have foiled numerous plots against our country. The Brits prematurely pulled out of Basra, and al-Sadr took it back. The US Armed Forces and IIF (Iraqi Intervention Force, aka Iraqi Military) had to fight for it again. That is what happens when we pull out too early. The terrorists will take it over, and the stronghold that is worldwide right now will gain an even stronger stance in the Middle East. Thus, Failure Is Not An Option.
So your point was that the USA was not "safe" when Saudi Arabians attack us on 9/11 but now that Bush invaded Iraq, we had become less "safe"?
So bush must stay in Iraq to continue the crusade because USA is not “safe” and it was due to the invasion of Iraq? So the longer bush stay in Iraq, the less “safe” we are but we are also more “safe” because he is staying in Iraq?
If bush is so concern about terrorism et al, why doesn’t he go after the real terrorists who attack us on 9/11, the Saudi Arabia, Osama bin laden?
I read that Saudi Arabia Osama bin forgotten had been hiding in the mountainous cave of nuclear (think mushroom cloud) Pakistan. If bush is so concern, why not go get the people who attack us in the mountainous region of nuclear (think mushroom cloud) Pakistan?
Why? Because he is not serious about it. Saudi Arabia makes up 45% of the terrorist action in Iraq? Why do bush still gave the government arms? Why did bush appeased bin forgotten by getting the soldiers out of Saudi Arabia? Why did bush attack Iraq? It not like it had anything to do with 9/11. Yes, the inspector did go in and bush kicks them out.
Are you suggesting that this is a crusade against the Muslim? What are you talking about, winning the war on terrorism? If you are so concern, why not start bombing every single country that had terrorist?
This is not a crusade. Many of these acts are carry out by Saudi Arabian, why not just bomb Saudi Arabia?
Win? Win what. Bush said that he wanted to invade Iraq to get the WMD. There was none. Bush said that he wanted to get rid of saddam, he did. Bush said that he want to establish a democracy in Iraq, he did. He said that he wants to get the Saudi Arabian that attack us on 9/11, he did not.
It had been 7 years, why the hell don't he go and get been forgotten in the nuclear (think mushroom cloud) Pakistan?
You are the most bias journalist I had ever come across. If you really want to make it in the big news, stop with your bias.
