House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Faced

Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

What attack on the U.S. did you see? We are attacking them and with the locals help this time... and winning.

Kurds take town on road to ISIS capital

Most recently, Pam Geller.

And no-we aren't winning. If we were winning the "JV" team wouldn't control half of Iraq, and still growing. If we were "winning' our president wouldn't be going with the only option that is pure fail-airstrikes. Either go in and kill them, or dont. But dont wander around in between.

You either have a disney channel understanding about how things are going or are being disingenuous. Or both.
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

This is the fruit of nearly 7 years of "smart" diplomacy.

A weak president has allowed terror to flourish and in fact ceded a nation to the most violent terrorists in modern history. In Afghanistan he is doing the same, as AQ surrounds cities and Iran pours in more, licking their chops for the last Americans to leave-Obama has let them know its theirs.

China and Russia are emboldened. And "JV" isis continues to grow, striking already in the US, and now subjecting Americans to the greatest threat level we have ever faced from terrorists.

This is what hope and change looks like folks.

Bush couldn't stop terrorism, either.
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

It's not my view, it's been written about extensively in the Wolfowitz doctrine and the manifesto "rebuilding Americas defenses, original publication, not the revised. Well, both, one is just more unabashed ant saying so then the revision.

Still an interesting pontification.

‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Faced"

Is near total ignorance of history a requirement before one can reach high positions within the GOP?

From his words, one just might come to believe the representative had never heard of the Soviet Union and the Cold War. An enemy with thousands of nuclear weapons, ICBMs and a large military was probably, not saying positively but probably, just a wee bit higher on the threat level tree than a group of Islamic radicals.

Not going back to find it but the post in which a commenter says Iran is supporting the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan "to stop ISIS from expanding to the East" reveals not only an ignorance of geography but also Muslim religions.
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

Is this rant supposed to excuse the situation we are in? Bush took his first 9 months off, eh?

That's all you got from that, first nine months off, as opposed to the most incompetent wartime administration in a hundred years?

Pathetic.

No, but he sure could practice it.

His successor also.
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

Sounds like you aren't very happy about the reality.

sounds like you are very proud of the dementia of that argument

... the highest threat level we have ever faced ...

because an 'expert' said so

despite our population being able to see the current threat is MUCH less than we have encountered MANY times before

it is recognized that you cannot value your credibility to then conceive and present such an absurd thread topic

Kurds took a town from ISIS...good for them.

ISIS just fragged another historical site, attacking Kobani again and went on a killing spree in Tunisia.

I believe they take American volunteers in the Iraqi army. Why don't you go help them?
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

Maybe you can explain this to me. When did the left decide to stop caring about the war on terror?

Perhaps around the time they lost the peace in Iraq?

Pearl harbor, awful as it was-was an attack on a military installation (yes, civilians were killed), by a waring nation.

On a tangential note, despite your beliefs do you understand why the left is seen as soft on terror?
What do you propose for home grown terror threats?
Please include the right wing freaks who last week on a report were a higher threat than grown grown Islamic radicals?

In a survey we conducted with the Police Executive Research Forum last year of 382 law enforcement agencies, 74 percent reported anti-government extremism as one of the top three terrorist threats in their jurisdiction; 39 percent listed extremism connected with Al Qaeda or like-minded terrorist organizations. And only 3 percent identified the threat from Muslim extremists as severe, compared with 7 percent for anti-government and other forms of extremism.
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

No doubt a Left-wing sponsored study.

No doubt it's your partisan paranoia.

Facts don't give a damn what your party is or what you believe.

So glad I'm disgusted by both parties... Watching partisans make themselves look like irrational idiots twisting reality to fit your belief systems.

The facts aren't in question, but I would never expect partisan douchebags to be objective or honest, always myopic.

By the way, not saying you are any of those things... Yet, you seem to be on that slippery slope.
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

Oh, really!? Do you have a link that supports your belief that RW terrorists are worse than Islamic head choppers? (your original link led to non-functioning page)

View attachment 67186205

Oh that's right! These guys weren't "terrorists". They were just LW nutcases.
All partisanship aside, I would say that there are kooks that come in all shapes and sizes...AND - ideologies.

You do realize that graphic is completely false, right?

Hassan: Hassan was registered to vote in Roanoake, Virginia, a state that does not allow partisan registration. Ergo, it is legally impossible for him to have been a registered Democrat.

Harris/Klebold: There is zero substantiation that either of their parents was a registered Democrat.

Cho: Resident alien, couldn't vote.

Holmes: James Holmes was not a registered Democrat, since he wasn't registered to vote.

Lanza: Lanza wasn't either.

The idea that recent mass shooters are mostly registered Democrats is a myth - Tulsa FBI | Examiner.com

Just another lie from our right-wing friends.

You dont "stop" terror, you fight it. This isn't a battle that will end soon even if Obama wants to pretend otherwise.

Terror didn't expand like it is now under Bush. He could at least commit (while lefties chose to appease and surrender).

Lots of bodies today, in France and Tunisia of Europeans. Just more of the fruit of Obama's legacy of weakness.

Im going to have to allow for the fact that just maybe he knows more about these threats than you do. In fact, I expect the committee is getting lots of chatter, evidence of real threats, etc.

Ive got news for you, this is the most incompetent wartime president ever. Leftists are unable to address actual threats.

Not even by offering them jobs. :roll:

I wonder if you have seen the pics of that French citizens head on a fence post from today? Its surrounded by Islamist flags. Its subtle-but I think I know who did it.

Or the bodies on the beach in Tunisia?

Likely, this committee gets similar reports, and knows of threats you never will.

For a start limit immigration from high risk nations individuals until they can receive closer scrutiny. Secure the borders so old women (and anyone else) can't walk across.

House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Faced In This Country’

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee warns that America is dealing with “the highest threat level we have ever faced in this country.” Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the threat is coming from the radicalization of young people and foreign fighters heading to Iraq and Syria to join terror groups.

“They’re very good at communicating through separate avenues where it’s very difficult to track,” Nunes said. “That’s why when you get a young person who is willing to get into these chat rooms, go on the Internet and get radicalized, it’s something we are not only unprepared [for], we are also not used to it in this country.”



Nunes: US Is At ‘Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Faced’ « CBS DC


Quick, everybody crap your pants in fear and surrender your rights to the authority so conservative authoritarians calm down.
