Efforts by terrorists abroad to radicalize and recruit U.S. residents present new security threats, three top Obama administration officials told Congress on Wednesday.

The threat posed by homegrown extremists shows that the battle against terrorism has become more complex in the past year, underscoring the challenges of pinpointing and blocking plots, said Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Wasn’t all the bowing, groveling, sniveling, esteem-building, NASA outreach and ass-kissing supposed to have ended all these threats?

They have no idea how many enemies they are creating with this current government - both foreign and domestic.

The biggest single problem is that this administration REFUSES to IDENTIFY just "what" the nature of that "extremism" is, militant Islam.

You got it.

Lee Hamilton made the comment that they need a new agency to track "homegrown terrorists". Which he also said "could be anyone".

This is gonna make the Cheka look pathetic.

It has been predicted that the only way to accommodate mass immigration from the Third World will be with a police state: you cannot throw that many utterly dissimilar people together and expect it to work. The only way to hold it together is with force.

No dissent. No opposition to official multi-culturalism. No offending the Muslims, because their cousins might cut off the oil.

State Security on steroids, and the Constitution won't apply.

The reason for this is an extremely weak President. Not since Carter has this country had such a weak leader and the world knows it and is responding accordingly.

I agree with your post. Our governments stupidity in allowing such unfettered immigration of muslims has been the political and cultural equivalent of embracing an asp. There’s already (apparently) an abundance of aspiring Felix Dzerzhinskys among our political class to take the reins of our Checka.
