And you are surprise why? I have been ranting this for months. Bush needs to get his head out of his collective rear end and shut down the borders. Once these people blow up landmarks, malls, a super bowl, is just a tad too late.

Any connection to these?

"While British officials call the investigation active and urgent, U.S. officials, while acknowledging they were aware of the possible threats against the White House and Capitol Hill, said they were not sure whether the targets were part of an imminent plot or was more bravado among Islamic militants."

There are a couple of big holes in the ground that would tend to argue against bravado.

Coming soon, and when it does, will the admin. and MSM, describing the terrorists, use the 'M' word? Or will we be told it's skinheads and the VRWC? Or maybe that it never happened. The Capitol building or the WH blew up by accident...a natural gas leak?

GEE, I hope we don't hurt their feelings when we question them, as the "religion of pieces" is soooo mis-understood!

Actually, this isn't much of a surprise since the jihadists have been plotting to blow up points of interest in DC for years.

My biggest concern is that 4 years after the largest and deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil that was essentially a declaration of war against the United States, too many of us have been lulled into a false sense of security since no further attacks have taken place since then. When our guard is down is when the islamists will strike again and I don't believe we're prepared for it.

Well if we lose Washington DC to a Terrorist Nuke, we can revert back to the articles of confederation and begin to protect our borders state by state.

If any City in this country gets nuked, I hope it's Washington. The idiots there have caused this problem.

I submit that the moral and economic well being of this Country is in greater danger from its elected officials than from terrorists.
