The complaint filed by federal prosecutors yesterday against four California men who were actively planning on joining the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan to kill U.S. soldiers and attack U.S. bases there was led by Soheil Omar Kabir, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Afghanistan. Kabir converted two of the other cell members, eventually radicalizing and recruiting all three other men. He was arrested in Afghanistan.
One curious element noted in the complaint is that Kabir also served in the U.S. Air Force prior to the 9/11 attacks. So the leader of a homegrown terrorist cell led by a U.S. Air Force veteran had recruited others to kill U.S. soldiers in the field.
This is the kind of insider threat that two of my colleagues and myself warned the U.S. Army about 18 months prior to the Fort Hood attacks by Major Nidal Hasan (and were ignored). After those attacks I reported here at PJ Media that little has been done by the U.S. military to define and address the threat. Back in June, NPR reported that the Defense Department was investigating more than 100 extremists in the U.S. military, with at least a dozen of those cases considered serious.
Liberalism + immigration = suicide cult.

As predicted, all facets of our government, military, communities, and colleges were seeded with radicals just waiting to wreak their havoc. What has our FBI and CIA been doing? Oh, never mind, they have been busy partying with hookers and enjoying affairs. I feel like our country’s leaders have lead us into a rat hole! What else is there to do? Build a bridge with true patriots and climb out of it! Starting with the once shining city on the hill.
This individual didn’t, stand a normal inlistment. He was cashiered out early, for some reason, probably, Failure to adjust to military life, or some other nafarious reason, it would be interesting to see his discharge papers. The obvious reason is that he is Muslim, and cannot think rationally.
I suggest you take the time to go to YouTube and watch Stephen Coughlin’s briefing: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and its Role in Enforcing Islamic Law
Why has Pres. Obama, Sec. of State Clinton, UN ambassador Rice, CIA Director David Petraeus and Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough blamed the Benghazi, Libya incident on the YouTube video? Could it be they are using the opportunity to sell the need for UN Resolution 16/18 to us and to incite the Middle East for good measure?
