US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel talks about the "imminent threat" ISIS poses to the US and the World.. .and pulls no punches in his total fearmongery..."ISIL poses a threat greater than 9/11. ISIL is as sophisticated and well funded as any group we have seen. They're beyond just a terrorist group.

They marry ideology with a sophisticated strategic and tactical military prowess and they're tremendously well-funded. This is way beyond anything we have seen. We must prepare for everything. Get Ready!" Time for some QE-funded deficit-busting war spending...

[Baynative]

How do you prepare for everything when you ideology is one of idle rhetoric and appeasement?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

NOW he tells us.

[Usagi_yo]

I think the administration has just had an epiphany.

“Nature Abhors a vacuum”. — ancient Greeks.

But I thought we were dealing with Junior Varsity?

Or is that a failed expert's opinion?

[Graewoulf]

Is Obama invoking the field-tested, Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule for the US to not prevent the ongoing genocide of Christians, and Yazidis in current US Ally Iraq?

BTW, the Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule is as follows:

“1.) ALWAYS STAND DOWN WHEN MUSLIMS ATTACK,
2.) WAIT FOR THE MUSLIMS TO FINISH THEIR BLOOD SPORT KILLING, AND
3.) THEN DO NOTHING.”

[Swede Girl]

You said it....let's continue to keep the doors wide open and make it easier for them. Obama is doing this on purpose...he knows that another hit will further along his agenda of “fundamentally changing the country” and “standing with the Muslims when political winds change.”

You are right. 9-11 might very well be a hellish day for all of us.

[RedHeeler]

We need, a Super Ultra Extreme Patriot Act. Hear! Hear!

[The Duke]

I don't believe the only thing the US is lacking to put ISIS 6 feet under is the political will. For allowing a large inventory of US military equipment to fall into the hands of ISIS the entire US administration should have been put out to pasture.

But, alas, the inmates have been given the keys to the asylum. :(

“Prepare for Everything?”

ISIS is the JV! Our CIC said so!

[sjmjax]

There will be no peace until there is no Islam.

That would make a great bumper sticker or T-shirt!

I smell a plot here. ISIS / ISIL / IS or whatever they press are calling them at this minute are horrible but the people from the district of corruption and the white mosque on pennsylvania are being awfully dour and alarmed. This is their doing after all for letting it get out of hand.

Savage was right tonight about them being dead fish. All staged.

Something smells fishy to me.

Me too..something isn't quite right about this situation.

[jmacusa]

There he is folks. Lets have a big hand for our Sec.Def. Chuck ‘’Foster Brooks’’ Hagel.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

If a big attack comes—Hagel has covered his butt. Obama will be blamed and forced to resign.

[Sequoyah101]

But what? False flag setup?

Why want to scare their sheeple? So they can become saving heroes?

[TexasRedeye]

...our southern border has been totally open...

Yep and the jihadists will shoot up some American mall in the near future. Dems will call for more GUN CONTROL!
