Every country in the middle east is doing their part. The Saudis have an active program to find and arrest those that want to cause harm within their society. The Saudis have been doing this for a long time.

These murderers didn't come from Saudi Arabia. The murderers existed in Belgium. This has nothing to do with the middle east.

Daesh exists in the middle east and we are already fighting 'where they exist.' The European violence is due to 'sympathizers' or those 'on a mission.' The murderers are already in Europe.

The Belgians are not out manned. This is an intelligence failure. Evidently, the arrest this week sparked an acceleration of this attack which was planned anyway.

Daesh is not winning. How could anyone say that? That is terrible. There are issues with intelligence domestically. The attack today was contained as best it could have been. Belgian airport officials were not prepared for what occurred today because of the lack of intelligence. But, it was contained. The attack had limited ability to kill people today. Don't lose sight of that. 

It is terrible people lost their lives today, but, that attack was contained from a far larger scale. Daesh is not winning. We need to get better than we did today.

USA intelligence states there is no danger of a terrorist attack in the USA. That matters. There is a terror level that is reviewed everyday by Homeland Security to determine the possible threat of a terrorist attack.

There is nothing more that can  be done in the middle east than what is already being done. There is every country in the region closing down Daesh, including Russia. There is nothing more to be done in Belgium that is not already being done. The Belgians need to be better at protecting it's airports and perhaps they need to look to Israel in how them protect it's airports. We know Israel's strategies work. Belgium needs help in improving their domestic circumstances, but, they did find that arrest, no matter how it happened, they did find it. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how one values civil rights) they have a lawyer standing in the breech and it is probably difficult to interrogate him. Otherwise, this might not have happened.

MSNBC is working the story far better than FOX. There are live reports and varying opinions and not talking head presidential hopefuls. FOX does nothing but produce propaganda while other media is doing their level best to bring the facts and perspectives of this story. It is unfortunate. Sincerely. FOX gets more viewers for the inflammatory politics. That is a shame.
