Now that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are winding down, according to CNN<\/a>, the terrorists seem to be doing that which the “neo-cons” warned about – bringing the fight to our military here in this country;<\/p>\n

So what is the actual threat to America’s military from homegrown terrorists? The New America Foundation and the Maxwell School of Public Policy examined 192 cases of apparent homegrown terrorism by Islamist militants since 9\/11. We found that the American military at home and abroad is indeed a target for Islamist extremist plots. In a third of the cases we studied, the individuals who were charged had targeted the U.S. military. Of those, a little under half targeted military facilities or personnel in the United States, while 55% were targeting American bases and troops overseas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I suppose the whole “workplace violence” thing is to cover up the fact that the war has come to our shores – just like the previous administration warned to so much derision in the press and the late night shows.<\/p>\n

The enemy can’t defeat us on the field of battle, so they wait to kill our military where the troops expect relative safety. <\/p>\n

And of course, CNN tries a bit of slight of hand todistract from terrorism by discussing the Hutarees<\/a>, the “Little Rascals” of terrorists. I guess they just couldn’t help themselves from distracting us from the real threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
