Sniff, Sniff. What is that smell? Is that .... COFFEE?

Britain raises terror threat level to 'severe' - Washington Times:
(August 29, 2014)
Britain’s move means the nation’s terror threat now stands at its second-highest level, at which the government considers an attack “highly likely,” Business Insider reported.
 Home Secretary Theresa May said Friday that the threat level was raised because of the escalating violence in Iraq from the Islamic State, and because of any specific threat that Britain’s received.

“The increase in the threat level is related to developments in Syria and Iraq where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the West,” she said, Business Insider reported. “Some of these plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have traveled there from the UK and Europe to take part in those conflicts.”

 “The first and most important duty of government is the protection of the British people,” Miss May said, Business Insider reported. “We have already taken steps to amend our powers and increase our capabilities for dealing with the developing terrorist threats we face. That process will continue and the British public should be in no doubt that we will take the strongest possible action to protect our national security.”

This is a reaction which should be noted by the American people, especially given that terrorists are also gathering along our southern border (where else?)   * where they are
" ... planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued.  Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat."

Is there anyone in the U.S. that doubts that our Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies will keep us safe from any potential terrorist actions? The latest FBI threat assessment indicates we have more to fear from eco-terrorists or white militias than we do from any Islamic organization. There is no need to worry about our safety, our government will protect us.

Our government has identified vets and gun owners as potential threats to national security, but not Islamic jihadists.

Well, our government has a point. I'm a vet and a gun owner, and I'm a terrible shot! I've only won one pistol match in 30 years, and that was a Concealed Carry match, and I cheated. What does that say about me?

Right. What they said.
