OPINION:
Aside from the occasional lone-wolf attack here at home, I am not convinced that a coordinated terrorist assault is imminent inside the United States. While terror cells are no doubt inside our country, why activate them now and provoke a nation with a president who is weak and sympathetic to their cause? By skipping out on the recent Paris rally, President Obama has sent our enemies the message that should they unleash mayhem throughout Europe the response from the United States will be as anemic as it has been elsewhere.
The real danger at home will not occur until voters elect a president who understands and is willing to act on the threats facing America. But for now, terrorists only need to worry about the proverbial finger-in-the-dike drone strike while pursuing their grander plan of a worldwide caliphate.
