Advisers tell Obama there’s no credible threat from Islamic State in U.S.
Washington Times ^ | 11/24/15 | Dave Boyer

On the eve of what’s expected to be the most-traveled holiday for Americans in a decade, President Obama’s national security advisers told him Tuesday that there is no specific, credible threat from the Islamic State extremists who carried out the deadly attacks in Paris.

Mr. Obama met with his national security council at the White House to discuss the response to the Paris killing spree on Nov. 13 and other attacks by the militants. The advisers told the president there is no known threat to the homeland from the extremist group, also known by the acronym ISIL.

The president has been urging Americans to go on with their daily routines and not be concerned about a possible terrorist attack in the U.S., as people prepare to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Interesting contrast between this and what is reported in the Free Beacon: Islamic State Radicalizes ‘Thousands’ in United States

Part of me won’t be surprised if something doesn’t go down during the Macy’s Parade tomorrow.

This reminds me of the economic experts who are always surprised by the data.

"Mr. President, ISIS is not a credible threat."

"Mr. President, it hasn't and will not snow in Denver this winter."

"Mr. President, you're wearing clothes."

His advisors are ignoring the man standing in front of them.

**********************************

Catherine Herridge pointed out that the ‘no known threat’ is based within the context of an environment where the terrorists are using encryption to avoid detection (successfully, as in Paris) and the various agencies are potentially deaf/blind in that regard & don’t know what they don’t know. Small comfort - actually, no comfort, quite frankly. The terrorists love to prove Omuslim wrong, too ..... Jayvee? Kaboom! Contained? Kaboom kaboom! No threat in America? We’ll see what happens.

Who hired them? He likely did. Yes men for a tyrant, nothing new.

Let’s keep these articles around and see how they feel after the holiday.

Remember when the laughter was overwhelming when you mention marshal law that would enevitably halt elections if they wanted to extend it or cancel them indefinitley in the wake of a terroist attack on the US? They envy france and Belgium as they execute thier lock down. Why do you think this is not a possibility here and now, a well planned event for ultimate control

When they consider conservatives as terrorists, that’s a true statement.

Now's a good time to buy stock in office supply companies----Obama's hand-picked ntl security council members are gonna need whiteout by the gallon---to revise their resumes.

The resume of Ntl Security Council advisor Susan Rice entitled "My Accomplishments in the Obama Administration" has already gone several major overhauls. However, Susan still has an honored place in Obama's library.

The Commemorative Susan Rice Video Room is on the lower level (/snix).

No credible threat, but there is an incredible threat.

Yup---Obama's ntl security council is a buncha crackerjack prognisticators.

CASE IN POINT: few months back, collaborator Josh Earnest forcefully told the media that Obama didnt sign off on this.

"This" was the drone attack that killed two---a doctor, an America hostage.

There was a lot of jabbering by Earnest about Obos National Security Team assessing the protocols of this particular deadly drone attack.

One guess as to who on the NSC thought up the deadly drone attack.

If you guessed resident WH moron Suzan Rice, you win. Just another screw-up by this genius....that killed an American.

Well, since Odope says the only threat is work place violence, we should all enjoy the holiday away from work?

It’s that old ‘I DON’T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT TERRORISTS, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?’ meme.

I don’t think they really have a choice. With Obonzo, you better tell him what he wants to hear.

In light of the scandal re manipulated info on the rise of ISIS, I’d say Obama :
1. Doesn’t want to hear any negative news about security issues right now.

2. Wouldn’t believe it if he heard it.

3. Wouldn’t allow it to be shared publicly even IF we under imminent threat.

Not one thing coming from the Obama WH should be trusted.

Odumo will crap his pants when ISIS (ISIL, his favorite group) pulls off their surprises, its not where they will do it, its when.
