Will ISIS plan a 9/11-style terror plot against the U.S.?
cbs ^ | Jun 16 | REBECCA KAPLAN

Republicans are sounding the warning that the next 9/11-like terror plot could emerge from the regions of Iraq and Syria that are currently dominated by an extremist group bearing down on Baghdad.

As the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) - which has already captured the cities of Tikrit and Mosul and is threatening to take the capital city as well - grows in strength and numbers, will it pose an immediate threat to the United States homeland as well?

Experts say the group's increasing power and reach is concerning, though it's not entirely clear when they might be able to threaten the U.S.

"You've got motivation mixed with opportunity, ideology and foreign fighters and all of that looks like a very extreme version of Afghanistan in the '90s, plus what was happening in Iraq after the Iraq war," said CBS News National Security Analyst Juan Zarate. "This is a cauldron of future terrorist threats to the west."

The bigger danger, Zarate said, is that the U.S. does not yet know exactly what the group will look like once it evolves. While ISIS might not launch an attack on U.S. soil tomorrow, he said, "I think the grave threat here is that you have the seeds of a new terrorist movement emerging very aggressively."

And I’ll bet that on every 9-11 since 2001 muzzies throw parties & watch real-time vids of the Twin Towers being mortally struck with incredulous reporters trying to figure out what was going on.

As the towers collapse, the muzzies shout “ALLAHU AKBAR!!!” over & over again.

They are a spreading cancer & they are the enemy within.

Don’t forget the NJ and NY teachers reporting ME kids bringing cameras that day for the first time. Also, weren’t there reports of a high absence rate among ME school kids in NY that day?

The canaries in the coal mines?

So....the little muzzies wanted to record the panic of 9-11 for their jihad scrapbooks, eh? Little b@stards!

Not like a canary in a coal mine, which if it suddenly dies is a warning to the miners. No, little Achmed & Fatima wanted this to be Allah’s big secret! Now don’t tell the filthy “infidels” that something’s afoot!!

But....CAIR & the other muzzie groups spread the rumor that all those evil JOOOOOZZ who worked in the WTC were warned to stay home on 9-11!!!

GRRRRR!!!!! Death to Islam!!!
