    Addressing the American Israel Friendship League in New York, Napolitano said a string of recent domestic arrests should “remove any remaining comfort from the notion that if we fight the terrorists abroad, we won’t have to fight them here,” rebutting an argument advanced on several occasions by former president George W. Bush.

    “Home-based terrorism is here. And like violent extremism abroad, it will be part of the threat picture that we must now confront,” Napolitano said. “Individuals sympathetic to al-Qaeda and its affiliates, as well as those inspired by the group’s ideology, are present in the U.S., and would like to attack the homeland or plot overseas attacks.”

    nebach… for over a millennium they couldn’t do enough to terrorize us… now all of a sudden they are looking out for us, standing up for us? i believe this like i believe saddam wanted to bomb shuls in prague. i believe this like i actually believe the american cia agent mysteriously standing outside a chabad house while it was being shot up happened to have gone “rouge”. this is all nonsense to keep us voting for and supporting far right policies. when are we as americans gonna wake up and realize that all these people are doing is using us? waving threats to world jewry and israel to keep us americans on our toes and supporting them and their wars.
    now they need to pay us a lip service so we will support obama breaking his most publicized campaign promise, to end the wars.
    enough already!!

    Considering that Bush did nothing to secure our borders and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have simply walked into the U.S. from Mexico, it is very surprising that there have not been a rash of homicide bombings over the past several years.
