A new report released by the U.S. State Department analyzing terrorist attacks reveals a sharp rise in both the number of attacks worldwide and the effectiveness of terror groups to inflict mass casualties.
According to the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), the number of terrorist attacks in 2014 increased by 35 percent, while total fatalities increased 81 percent.

I thought that oobama had it all under control.
Now it is Official! Terrorism from the Middle-East is both real and sponsored; says the New York Times.
One has to relate the life experience of Pieere Elliot Trudeau and Barack Hussein Obama to their concepts of Reason. The individuals were raised in a greenhouse of Acadaemia with access to funds beyond the normal home. Both protected from exposuree to reality by the cocoon of Francophone insularity in the situation of Trudeau and by the cocoon of an agenda with Obama.
The only real difference is P.M. Trudeau’s playground was much smaller and he just created a fecund mess for Canada. President Obama’s intellectual short comings have affected the whole fecund World.
Iran backs terrorists and America trains them. Whats the difference?
So much for the “Arab Spring”, I wonder how the intellectual Social Modelling is going across western Liberal campuses these days.
I know “We need another Arab Spring”.
I guess we have not been singing enough verses of kumbaya.
Obama arms terrorists and wants americans disarmed all the markings of a traitor and war crinimal we need another Nurimburg type trial for this traitor
The excuse of nuclear and regional terrorist activities being on separate tracks to placate “hardliners” can be written on a piece of paper for Barry Chamberlain to hold up to the American people to prove how great he’s been at making the World safer. Now when’s that next tee time?
He does, owg, he does.
Putin says if he can con Obama the way Iran did, Stephen Harper will agree to let Russia back in the G8.
I have a better idea. Tell terrorists wherever they are we are coming to kick their ass, to turn them into stiffs – not their families, not their friends – them, with great prejudice. Make sure it’s personal and nasty, always seeking surprise with minimum collateral damage and maximum scumbag lethality. Tell all the despots, including Putin, we know they’re a bunch of friggin liars and let them all know “we’ll be watching” and if they step out of line it gets personal with them too. Don’t be surprised to see a carrier task force showing up nearby soon. Come near us and we’ll shoot your ass down. Other than that tell everybody to have a nice day, up with freedom and all that stuff.
Maybe the US State Dept and their Secretary could have learned from the Nairobi embassy attack that they should heed security warnings from Embassy staff, and the Ambassador herself at the time, and beef up military protection resources, instead of degrading them.
I guess we can’t do that because it would be undiplomatic, like something Dubya would do. This is a new era of cooperation and trust. Yeah sure, tell that to the families of the dead. That’ll give them peace.
Shamrock, it is a little late for your solution. The terrorists are already here in numbers that the socialist crowd will not admit to. When they start seeing this at Younge and Dundas, Portage and Main, St. Catherines in Montreal or Broadway in Vancouver, they’ll start to realize that terrorism is the Islamists method of taking control. The Lib/Dips are too stupid to have read any history and they are going to take us all down into the muck-hole that we have been warning them about for the last twenty or so years. Multi-culturalism works only for the the group that wants to force the rest of us into submission.

John Kirby, a State Department spokesman, said defeating the Islamic State would take time.
“It’s going to take about three to five years,” he said.
Out of what orifice did he pull that figure?
If we drew up a plan to defeat ISIS,and let our soldiers do their job the way they have to, ISIS would be insignificant within six months. BUT if we insist on fighting a nervous nellie war, with attention to peacekeeping and nation building, we’ll eventually LOSE the battle.
These guys are not going away,they have to be killed without mercy, not brought over here for rehab and citizenship, nor to join us in “Kumbaya”.
We’ll have to re-learn “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and become the fascists the Left always insists we are, IF we want to win, which I’m beginning to doubt as white guilt becomes more pathological every day among the liberal masses.
That’d be 1-3 years after the next president takes office, ’cause Obama isn’t going to do squat.
Sorry I didn’t mention we deal with domestic terrorists the same way we deal with international terrorists, with a little less prejudice to spare the innocent.
