    Even after I mocked you for having no original thoughts and always regurgitating what it is directed at you with only a slight change, you STILL did it. You're the best, TD.

    It tells you she felt you overlooked the female terrorists and she wants recognition.

    What does it say that I can prove you wrong by using your own words and logic against you? Maybe you should work on your own original thoughts a little more before mocking others.

    The Washington Generals called. They need someone to get splashed with the water bucket.

    Granted, I am not as familiar with the vetting process as the "experts," and I'm sure it's not fool-proof, but ... this is worth a read.

    Entering U.S. as refugees would be hard for terrorists - CNNPolitics.com

    Refugees also have their retinas scanned and have their fingerprints lifted.
    Christopher Boian, a spokesman for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, called the process "stringent" and "long and complex."
    "If at any stage in that process there is ever the slightest shadow of a doubt or the slightest whisper of suspicion, they are removed from the process. That is that," Boian said.
    "The very, very few Syrian refugees who are accepted and referred for consideration for resettlement in another country -- there simply is no more closely scrutinized population on earth these days," he added.
    ...
    And refugees aren't automatically considered for resettlement: only the most vulnerable refugees -- such as torture victims, female heads of household, people with serious medical conditions and other especially vulnerable groups.

    It's been pretty scary, but it's getting scarier.

    Belgium warns of 'serious and imminent threat' to Brussels - CNN.com

    If people take the terror alert seriously, Brussels will be "shut down tomorrow," CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank said.
    "It suggests they have something specific and credible at the intelligence front pointing them in the direction that there may be a terrorist plot in the works," he said. "It also suggests they don't have a handle on it, that they don't know where these plotters are or where they're coming from."

    It makes me wonder what else is coming, after I posted the Germany-Netherlands soccer plot earlier. Jesus.

    More important than countries getting together on the occasional bombing is countries getting their shit together on coordinating intelligence. It's painfully obvious that the terrorists are ahead of the intelligence gatherers at this point.
