Iran/al Qaeda Up U.S. Threat Level.

Iran just lost one of its major nuclear facilities and a number of its nuclear scientists and engineers and it's not happy. If the U.S. and Europe don't back off the pressure on its nuclear program, al Qaeda hit squads could be paying us a visit. www.wnd.com/2013/02/u-s-warned-al-qaida-hit-squads-coming/  Small terror squads would allegedly target U.S. politicians, power transmission sites, water reservoirs, and tourist magnets like Washington National Cathedral, the Lincoln Memorial, and the MET in New York. 

Smoke? Maybe, but the Director of National Intelligence said that such attacks are more likely, citing the attack on the Saudi ambassador in Washington, DC in 2011 as a harbinger.

Time will tell, but it is definitely not a time to let down our guard. We seem to be involved in a national game of Trivial Pursuit with no one minding the store. That may not be the case, but perception is everything and we are most likely to be hit when we appear confused and distracted and very unserious. Is anyone minding the store?
