According to the story in the link, it was financed by the ringleader's $ 500,000 dollar insurance policy from the death of his pregnant wife.

I'm curious as to how four soldiers managed to accumulate $87,000 worth of weapons and bomb-making materials. Unless they hocked their collective gaming consoles and video games and DVDs, it boggles the mind that they were able to come up with a fraction of that kind of money.
This can only be the tip of something much larger.

I'm not to sure of what to think on this one, I find the timing to be mighty convenient with the recent detention of other veterans due to voicing their opinions.
If this is true I'm glad they uncovered this plot but I have seen a whole lot of demonization of American war vets by their own government recently so these "plots" that they "uncover" always leave me suspicious.
Could this be a fabricated plot to assassinate the president?
Prosecutor Isabel Pauley says the group bought $87,000 worth of guns and bomb-making materials and plotted to take over Fort Stewart, bomb targets in nearby Savannah and Washington state, as well as assassinate the president.
Who knows if this is true or not but I have a feeling we will be hearing about many more of these "plots" being uncovered in the near future.

This site makes no sense sometimes.. on one hand we KNOW that the US government needs to go.
We watch Syrian Rebels attempting to overthrow the government and some of you cheer.
Then when it comes to our own country, someone takes initiative and suddenly it's horrible.

I do, it's really simply-Better than the devil you know than the one you don't. I don't know these people. You assume they believe what you do. They could be just as authortrian as our current government. Revolutions generally don't turn out well. Our first one was ok, the odds aren't in your favor for the success of a second one. And really, while Obama isn't my cup of tea the man does have children. I don't want to see any child lose their parent.
