The Fuse Is Burning
According to memri.org, the leaders of the Abu Hafs Al-Masri Brigade (one of the largest of the Jihadist "terror organizations") has given their followers/cells the green light to carry out attacks against American interests around the world--and already claims to have active units in the United States itself.
If this is true, it is proof positive that we are LOSING the "war on terror". I'm willing to bet they will succeed in causing at least one large-scale terror attack before they are stopped--if they get stopped at all. I have no faith in the capability of our civil security services against a determined insurgent force.
If I were in charge of a Jihadist band, I'd put together a raid on the base camp at Guantanamo Bay to liberate the detainees. Even if the raid fails, it would be a propaganda coup and make a general defeat of America look possible. If the raid succeeds, perhaps the Cubans could exploit the chaos and kick the Yankees off the island for good.
Not that I support any of this. Unfortunately I'm still an American.
