Meanwhile, very quietly... FBI Chief Mueller confirms stateside Al Qaida cells


HUH? Gee I'm so shocked, but some people see to forget. Some people need to insist the genesis of this is Afghanistan, where 'we should be fighting'.

Who else but Gertz:
FBI Director Robert Mueller said last week that the FBI has uncovered small groups of Al Qaida terrorists in the United States, although he declined provide details.

In House Judiciary Committee testimony, Mueller was asked about cell of Al Qaida in the country.

"As to your first question as to whether we have found affiliates or, as you would call them, cells of Al Qaida in the United States, yes, we have. Again, I cannot get into it in public session, but I would say yes, we have."

The FBI has been stepping up intelligence-gathering activities in the United States aimed at providing intelligence that would stop a terrorist attack in advance, but U.S. officials said the intelligence program is still in its early stages.

Mueller defended the FBI's Muslim outreach program that critics say have put the bureau in a role of providing legitimacy to Muslim groups that support overseas extremists.

"And every opportunity I have, I reaffirm the fact that 99.9 percent of Muslim-Americans or Sikh-Americans, Arab-Americans are every bit as patriotic as anybody else in this room, and that many of our cases are a result of the cooperation from the Muslim community in the United States," Mueller said.

These murderers are not from Afghanistan, they are from the Quran. They are from Mecca and Qom, Islamabad and Rawapindi, Quetta and Medina, Cairo and Alexandria.

They may sojourn in Somalia, or Afghanistan, or Waziristan, or Pakistan or Algeria, or Turkey, but they are from the Quran. When our leader can articulate THAT without fear, and without inciting morons to visions of barbed wire camps we will make progress. Until then we are going to be stumbling and bumbling, like Ambrose Burnside waiting for his pontoons. We will have a rough idea of what we need to do, but we will be unable to act to do it, and unable to articulate the next steps towards victory.

Atlas pointed to this a couple of days ago :

Six Afghani exchange students go missing last week (all males). The one from Columbine, CO checked in at DC airport for return trip before disappearing.

But hey, what's a little cultural exchange got to do with national security?

This whole racial and muslim profiling outrage has me pissed off. It makes absolutely no sense.

Let's say I rob a bank. In order to stay in line with the anti-racial profile group, the APB would say "we are searching for a small stature woman with blond hair", period.

All races of women have blonde hair.

And as far as I know, only Muslims are committed to Jihad. Muslim is not a race and all races have become muslims.

I need a drink.

Ok, that's better.

In order to find the Jihadi's, you have to look in the right place. So looking in the Muslim neighborhoods & mosques is the place to look. They won't find them in the synagogue.

The Jihad is driving you to drink in the morning.

Actually, it is the anti-profilers and their twisted minds. The jihadi's are more straight forward. They just want to kill us.
