There's enough equipment and intelligence for these cities to handle it all. I think you are getting caught up in a Propaganda Fear Frenzy and succumbing to Manipulation.

routine. "If you see something say something"we hear it every day on the subway. yeah yeah

I should have added what I did when I put this in LBN which was:

The Isis flag flying over the White House?

Why are we believing the hype?

...that Obama has held the line on all-out war with Syria. He's talked a tough game, but thus far, has avoided a big war. If we had a neocon President, we'd be engaged in full-on war.

No doubt, the neocons are unhappy with President Obama's lack of warmongering and his failure to feed the war-machine monster. Assorted neocons invaded the Sunday talk shows to pressure Obama into stronger military action, calling him weak and positioning his inaction as slovenly, dangerous and discombobulated. Cheney marched his butt into Congress and next thing we know the Congressional warmongering brigade went full force against Obama--constantly urging for more military action.

It's all very disgusting.

So yeah. I see all of this going on and then a string of, " The terrorists are coming to get you!" stories appear.

Makes you wonder. Makes you wonder what is the work of the bloodthirsty neocons--and it also makes you wonder how far they would dare to go to get more of that war that they love so much.
