Goldberg attempted to persuade the confidential informant to coat the shrapnel of the bomb in rat poison in order to maximize casualties. [44][45][46][47]Orange Park, FloridaJoshua Ryne Goldberg

The increased pace of attacks and number of successful attacks is directly related to the shutdown of Gitmo and the hampering of the NSA and Obama's "leading from behind" - his appeasement of the enemy.

The numbers prove we are less safe now than in 2008.

We can do better. we need better gun control, bomb-making control - to keep these weapons out of the hands of islamists; this means we need to use PROFILING.

And we need better intel - intel not changed to fit a policy of appeasement or to make political decision by politician look better than they really are (s 50 intel officers/whistle-blowers allege)..

And our nation needs a serious debate on how to do this, with everyone at the table - with the views of Trump and Rand Paul and and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz and even Bernie Sanders all represented.

Bush succeeded in doing this, in forging a broad consensus.

Too bad Obama is unable or unwilling to do this.

It will probably have to wait until 2017.

I hope we make it....
