The good news is that the number of "homegrown" jihadist extremists who have been indicted or convicted has steadily declined over the past few years, according to
New America Foundation data. Where there were 41 cases in 2009, there have been six so far this year.
The number of individuals indicted for plotting actual attacks within the United States -- as opposed to other terrorism-related crimes such as raising money for a terrorist group -- also declined from 12 in 2011 to only three so far in 2013.
In recent years, extremists plotting attacks against the United States have also shown little, if any, connection to foreign groups. None of the 21 homegrown extremists involved in plots against the United States from 2011 to so far in 2013 is known to have received training abroad.
Of these extremists, only one, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the alleged Boston bombers, is reported to have had contact with foreign militant operatives, but it remains unclear to what extent, if any, those contacts played a role in the Boston attack.

Susan Rice: No Successful Attacks on U.S. Homeland Since 9/11
National Review ^ | December 23, 2013 | Jim Geraghty
Posted on 12/23/2013 6:11:24 PM by Zakeet
From 60 Minutes last night:
Susan Rice: Lesley, it’s been worth what we’ve done to protect the United States.
And the fact that we have not had a successful attack on our homeland since 9/11 should not be diminished. But that does not mean that everything we’re doing as of the present ought to be done the same way in the future.

Our inept National Security Adviser is exactly correct ... providing you ignore that whatever-else-it-was in Boston ... and the act of workplace violence in Fort Hood!

I think she just meant no multi thousand victim

Either that or they are keeping some big things from

Certainly both were successful attacks, and both by Muslim radicals.
It will always remain shameful to the United States of America that the people at Fort Hood never received Purple Hearts. Obama without doubt the biggest POS to ever occupy the WH.

What does she call the Boston Bombing? Unfortunately, the Chechen brothers did succeed with their plan, and almost got away with it, despite TSA goons, and NSA snooping on Americans around the clock, some good that does.

Within minutes, a homeowner noticed someone has messed with the tarp on his boat in his backyard and alerted the police.
