"It has not "come home". It never left."
No Americans involved. Not only were they from Europe, but they had their usual Middle East contingent, too, Yemen, if I recall. Too stupid to even know how to get their hands on the weapons to do it. Too stupid to find instruction for making what they needed themselves. Walked around in woods of New England asking strangers where they could buy automatic weapons.
Far from an attack. The kids at columbine were, evidently, far more dangerous.
"Why would the national press want to report the fact that our anti-terrorist forces actually prevented an attack? Can't go painting the current administration in any sort of positive light now can they?"
It was on three separate channels about 9am this morning. Fox News has been running it every 15 minutes today. That's really the only reason stuff like this gets on JU. Otherwise, you guys never even see it.
The fact is, attacks, threats, etc., happen all the time.
Here is a site that maps them. Be sure and set it for the last 12 months so you get some perspective. Not all of them get on there, either. Ecoterrorists are planting bombs, kidnapping people, threatening property and the public safety all the time. You guys never seem to care much about that.
A couple of months ago the ALF was caught trying to plant bombs at Oxford. A better question than MasonM's would be why we never hear about anything that isn't Islam-related. We don't have a blind spot for islamo-fascists, but I'm betting the next Tim McVeigh could do about what he likes at this point.
Another good resource.
