So you're saying that no one wants to carry out terrorist attacks on US soil except every 4-6 years?

A better explanation is that the only once in every 4-6 years does a terrorist slip through the cracks due to our measures to secure our homeland. That's a pretty damn good record if you ask me.

>common people like us will likely never know even IF there were attempts or plans for attempts.

Yep. But common sense tells me there are plenty, especially since 9/11. Could anyone seriously argue that nobody plans attacks on US soil except every 4-6 years?

Lets give credit where it's due and let the CIA and homeland security do their job as best they can.
