Be Vigilant

With the thwarted terror attacks in London this week, and the semi-sucessful attack on Glasgow International Airport I think that Americans should be especialy cautious during the 4th of July holiday week. The events across the pond could be a diversionary attack. It appears to be very amateurly done - gas and nail filled cars that smoked instead of exploding, suicide bombers captured alive, 7 people arrested so quickly after the fact. Maybe the terrorists are giving us some little fish so that some big fish can slip through here.

This President and the last one don't have an especially good track record of protecting us; Clinton and the first WTC attack, Oklahoma City, the African Embassy bombings and the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, and Bush and his enormous screw-up in ignoring the warning signs of 9/11. We can't count on the government to protect us, they're more worried about how they look in the press.
