Considering the underfunded state of our Coast Guard and our Navy's inability to stop pirates off Somalia, it is doubtful such an attack would even be detected until it was successfully underway.

Of course, the attackers would have no hope of getting away, but that is no problem to Islamic suicide jihadis.
Attack is so very easy , and there are ways that they can inflict casualties far beyond India , or even 911, without having to go meet Allah. That is why I can't understand how any nation , or coalition of nations can expect to win a war on terror with the kidd gloves on. Fight terror, don't waterboard. Capture terrorists or suspected terrorist, but don't imprison them "unjustly". If we are going to win this war, lets fight them with the same tactics.....no fucking rules, baby.
Get ready for islamic extremism, they are not done with us by any means, and as each day passes without another attack on American soil, the more complacent America grows, worrying over personal wealth issues.
I am quite confident Obama will get his turn in the terrorism barrel. That, my friends, will be when we find out what kind of president we have.
Will he work the root and tell Pakistan we're coming for them,. like it or not? Until someone has the cods to do just that, there will be a steady stream of them.
Oh yeah.........and accept collateral damage and deal with the negative repercussions of such.
