Threat Matrix: 2009

Critical Threats: Blank When None
Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Thanks, V. Sounds like they’re trying to get us either scared to say anything or numb to their shenanigans.

We have to stay raw.

My brother, a democrat, is furious about the Navy Seal bruhaha. He's a VietNam vet and VERY upset that this has been allowed to get as far as it has. IMHO he's rapidly becoming conservative and was already unhappy about the delay in this administration dealing with support of our troops in Afghanistan.

There is an ever-growing undercurrent in this nation (witness thousands of people at each Sarah Palin book-signing - waiting out in freezing cold weather) that things have deteriorated beyond comprehension in America. Waking up and wondering what this administration has planned to spring upon us next is getting frustration levels way up.

Everywhere I go politics is being discussed heatedly. Everyone I talk to is angry and spewing big-time profanity; lots of 4-letter words. The revulsion and disgust for this Administration and Congress is palpable. Republicans that wish to stay in office better find their gonads fast and start holding news conferences and speaking out on TV, radio, and in the newspapers or they’re going down the toilet with the rest of the RATs.They better start naming names and detailing the treason taking place. Newt can quit smiling at the enemies of America. Everyone I hear talking politics echoes the same thing “VOTE THEM ALL OUT” and they mean it. We The People mean to take our country back from these corrupt, anti-American, Socialists (aka enemies within).

Yep. You hit the nail on the head. As long as democrats continue to pursue healthcare that is not wanted by 3/4 of Americans and cap and trade that will surely decimate the US economy.

There seems to be a rash of democrat "retirements" going on. People are talking all over the nation about how they wish they had Bush back. This admininistration appears deadset to obliterate our nation as we know it and not at all intent upon another term of office. How can so many elected democrats be so spiteful of the will of those who elected them? If this continues, it'll be a cold day in hell before another one of them gets elected.

Al-Qaida denies killing civilians in Pakistan

Al-Qaida issued a new English-language video Saturday denying it was behind a series of bombings in Pakistan that have killed hundreds of civilians, calling such attacks un-Islamic.

U.S.-born al-Qaida operative Adam Gadahn, who commonly delivers the organization’s English messages, said the extremist network was being framed for the bloodshed by the U.S. and Pakistani intelligence services......

Surprisingly, CNN has an excellent program on right now about homegrown terrorists in the US and Canada.

Talking about the N. Virginia mosque where Al Awhacky stirred up Hasan, the Fort Hood mass murderer.

Also the Toronto plot, which was foiled by their security forces.

Very revealing.

Swiss authorities stopped an Islamic preacher at the German border late on Friday to prevent him speaking at a rally against Switzerland’s ban on building new minarets, local press reported.

Suspected Islamic militants killed a guard and freed at least 31 inmates after busting through a wall and storming a jail in the southern Philippines, police said.

Battling the homegrown jihad threat

2009 revealed more jihadist activities involving Americans than almost any year since the 9/11 attacks, say experts. There were at least 12 incidents in total, not including the recent arrests of five Virginia men in Pakistan on suspicion of trying to join jihadist militants.

Al Qaeda No. 2 blasts Obama, US Arab allies
14 December 2009

Al Qaeda’s deputy leader has accused President Barack Obama of cheating the Arab world by failing to advance Middle East peace talks.

In a new Internet posting, Ayman Al-Zawahri also scoffs at key American allies in the region — the Egyptian president and the Jordanian king — for making peace with Israel. The 25-minute audio message focuses on Obama.

Al-Zawahri says the U.S. president’s Mideast policy is “another cycle in the Crusader and Zionist campaign to enslave and humiliate us.” Al-Zawahri also urged Muslims and Palestinians to wage holy war outside Israel and the Palestinian territories, and praised Muslim militants fighting in Pakistan.

The authenticity of Monday’s message could not be independently confirmed.

Arrests Raise Fears of American Jihad
DECEMBER 12, 2009

U.S. counterterrorism officials say 2009 has turned into the year of homegrown jihad, with the unmasking of the most serious suspected terror plots involving Americans in about five years.

U.S. investigators are still trying to determine what drew five young Americans to travel last month to Pakistan, where local authorities allege they had sought to join extremist groups that have attacked U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. U.S. investigators have interviewed some of the men, but haven't verified the information Pakistani officials have released on the case.

The surge in alleged terror cases has raised concerns among counterterrorism officials. Some officials say young men have been swayed by the escalating war in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as intensifying Internet recruiting of Westerners by extremist groups. At a Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing last month, experts on terrorism cited the recent cases as evidence that the threat of radicalization, long an issue in Europe, has become a major concern in the U.S.
