re: #38 Thanos

The greatest danger to the US is not the terrorists over there, it’s the people here on the edge who they might be able to recruit. The lone jihadi nutjobs are out there, just as the lone wingnut and theocrat nutjobs are. They don’t need all that much encouragement because they already live at the edge of sanity.

Sad to say there have been those recruited for years from among us. What about those trying to attempted attack Ft Dix? The USF student driving around the Charleston Naval Weapons Station with cameras and at least some indications of this wasn’t a standard college student’s spring break like trip (trust me, I know what Goose Creek looks like). We had them underneath the WTC in ‘93 with a van full of explosives. One was caught trying the VBIED in Times Square recently, and let’s not forget the Underwear bomber and those who have left to Pakistan and Yemen, before this discussion on the Mosque began….and Maj Hassan.

Yes, they are a threat, but they have had plenty of sympathetic help before now, without such a front page issue.
