or one of of it's numerous affiliates. We thank Obama and his idiotic outreaching
to Muslims and Islam worldwide for the increased boldness that we are
witnessing from our enemies of the Islamic world. How many attempts will it take
until there is one more successful tragedy like 9/11 or Fort Hood on a much
larger scale. The stark realization that this country is extremely vulnerable in
so many areas has Americans more worried than before, and rightfully so.
After the near miss on Christmas day, a new sense of urgency is gradually
taking hold in the nation's capitol. That said, this poster has very little confidence

Is this what we want here in the

He said that the surge in cyberattacks, including the recent penetration of Google’s servers from inside China, was a “wake-up call” for those who dismissed the threat of computer warfare.
