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

Do you take the word of every liberal democrat in office at face value?

"every liberal democrat" isn't really the person for the intel committee.
Leftists dont do well when national security is on the line.

I'm reminded of the statement by Rudy Guiliani on Fox News that went unchallenged "We had no domestic attacks under Bush, we've now had two terrorist attacks under Obama."

Hmm lots of talk about union jack flags on the forum today, but none about this. I wonder why that is.

We just had a state senator assassinated by a terrorist along with 8 other people. The biggest terrorism threat on US soil comes from right wing extremists. If you''re concerned with fighting terrorism, then that's a great place to start.

Kudos on citing Al Jazeera, now when will Obama address the terror threat?

Do you disbelieve this information? Which is bigger 48 or 26? What about 19 or 7?

Islamic extremists are certainly dangerous. Right wing terrorists are roughly twice as dangerous. You've gone on these repeated rants accusing liberals of ignoring terrorism, yet you're the one who seems to be turning a blind eye.

In any case, under Obama we now have the highest threat level we have ever faced, according to an expert in the matter.

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)

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

You're missing the point, which is that when US history contains events such as Pearl Harbor, half of the country choosing to secede and the civil war that resulted from it, and the revolutionary war which would resulted in the creation of our country, it is clearly incorrect to claim that we are at our highest threat level in history.

Pretty sure the "CT" was implicit.

Lefty response to terror thread: Ignore it.

Righty response to terror thread: Exaggerate it, weep and gnash teeth.

Again I ask whether you take every statement from Democrats on national security at face value.

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.”

Right wing US radicals are more of a threat to our security than foreign terrorists, says a new study.

Even if true, its a failure of the Obama administration-and lets not forget international terrorism either.

So tired of this selective memory bull****. Both parties have been failing on every front for 60 years. This is no different. And while Obama hasn't made things any better, it's like calling someone out for not cleaning up the milk you spilled, fast enough.

Bush took his first nine months in office off from terrorism. Refused to meet with his own terrorism experts... Bam 9-11

He then took his eye off the ball in Afghanistan, refused to hold the Saudis responsible for supplying several of the terrorists, then focused on a non concern, Iraq.

Then Bremer, under direction from Cheney did not make any effort to form a working gov't for 90 days, allowing the situation to deteriorate into complete chaos.

The self stated goal of the neocons over the last 45 years has been to destabilize the Middle East so that we can go in, mop up and reorganize gov'ts to suit "american interests", provide forward bases to shift our old Cold War troop concentrations from Europe to the ME for future Asian conflicts and resource control.

In the last two great wars, all sides rushed to North Africa and the ME in order to secure oil for a mechanized army and chemical production. The neocons want to lock it up before the next Great War.

Interesting view. I wonder how evil that would look if the next war came and we held all the assets?

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.

Is this rant supposed to excuse the situation we are in? Bush took his first 9 months off, eh?
 
Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face

Not about fear but vigilance. You may not like it but we are fighting a war, I'd hope it does not take another mass murder for you to appreciate that fact.

Another attack like 9/11 will only happen if another Republican gets back into the White House and that's not likely so chill.
