As if there isn’t enough to be worried about…

Not only do we have to worry about the exploding debt Obama and the Democrats are racking up, The Washington Times reports that the Senate was told an attempted attack on the US is “certain” within the next few months. (Via Free Republic)

The five senior leaders of the U.S. intelligence community told a Senate panel Tuesday they are “certain” that terrorists will attempt another attack on the United States in the next three to six months.

The warning came during the annual threat briefing to Congress in response to questions from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat and the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, who asked, “What is the likelihood of another terrorist-attempted attack on the U.S homeland in the next three to six months? High or low?”

“An attempted attack, the priority is certain, I would say,” said Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair, a retired admiral.

Four other intelligence agency leaders who appeared at the hearing with Adm. Blair said they agreed with the assessment. …..

Adm. Blair outlined the major threats facing the United States in addition to a possible terrorist attack. They include:

– The threat of major attacks on U.S. computer networks and infrastructure.

– The increasingly dangerous Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.

– Instability in nuclear-armed Pakistan.

– Iranian and North Korean missile and nuclear programs.

– China’s military buildup.

– Efforts by the anti-U.S. government of Venezuela to develop closer ties with Iran, China and Russia.

The warning about the threat of another attempted attack, like the failed Christmas Day bombing of a Northwest Airlines jet, was in keeping with the sober public assessment of threats outlined last year by Adm. Blair.

Unfortunately, there’s more. Read the whole article. But apparently, Janet Napolitano isn’t too concerned about national security. Or at least briefing Congress on national security.

    Of course, debriefing the crotch bomber wasn’t necessary because Janet from another Planet has everything well in hand! If I were a Congressman, though, the last person I’d want to have briefing me on national security would be a clueless bimbo butch bureaucrat who claimed the system worked “smoothly” after Christmas Day over Detroit.
