Chambliss, sources: Terror chatter beyond anything heard since before 9/11
Fox News ^ | August 4 2013 | Staff

Posted on 08/04/2013 9:50:48 AM PDT by yoe

The so-called “chatter” about a terror plot that led the Obama administration to close 22 U.S. embassies and consulates Sunday across the Muslim world goes beyond anything heard before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee and Fox News sources.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, of Georgia, said Sunday the so-called “chatter” detected by U.S. intelligence agencies that led the Obama administration to order the closures and issue a global travel warning to Americans is "very reminiscent of what we saw pre-9/11."

[snip] A Mideast diplomat says al-Zawahiri “pressuring” Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to launch new terrorist attacks on Western and American targets is “unprecedented.”

Sources also told Fox News the extraordinary volume of “chatter” follows months of “absolute quietness” on terrorist phone lines, computer outlets, websites and other communication outlets.

If a big terrorist attack on America like the one we saw on 09-11-01 (Remember that?) occurs, I wouldn’t expect the same kind of response we saw back on 09-12-01. America is not longer a united country. I’ll bet a dollar to a donut that all of the government buffoons in Washington, including the IRS, are already going through every video clip on YouTube looking for one to blame any new terrorist attack on. I’ll also bet that Barry is already packed for another World Apology Tour/fundraiser. Good luck America! We’re going to need it this time. We don’t have anything else.

.... Probably nothing more than the start up of a new terrorist social network on the internet.

I tend to agree with Mark Levin, who called Chambliss an idiot the other day.

(Thank the Lord Chambliss is jumping ship soon.)

Wag we the dog much.

We are creating our international “Reichstag Fire.” They are ginning up a phoney-baloney “international terror plot.” The “evidence” of proof of same will miraculously be found in the NSA files.

That was on the report that Bill Clinton had made marginal notes on - which then had to be stolen from the National Archives by Sandy Burger at the time they were having hearings on 9/11 - Clinton had said that he had never been informed of any possible terrorist plots, but obviously, he had been (and ignored it).

How much of that information even got forwarded to Bush inthe few months between his inauguration and 9/11 is unclear. Bush had trouble getting any of his appointees confirmed speedily, difficulty getting information out of the people who had been agency heads under Clinton, etc.

Get prepped. Al Qeada has been given one of the greatest Islamic martyrs in world history. And Obama gave them the martyr Osama just to help cover a stupid Presidential election he was stealing. Unbelievable.

I don’t mean to sound jaded but why all of a sudden just as there is a big push back agains’t the NSA spying on all of us does this major chatter start up?

If Al Queda blows up the Mall of GA tomorrow I’ll apologize profusely but I’m having to ask the question why does Al Queda want to terrorize us as we are arming them with munitions from Libya and sending them all over to Syria to fight Assad? We are practically their bosom buddy.

If they heard so much “chatter” before 9/11 why the hell didn’t they do something about it?

Because Bush was selected not elected. /sarc. Now we have a Phony President who stole a phony election.

Yeah, it does sound a little like “oh look, all this spying was useful after all” notwithstanding the fact that at 9/11 the spying wasn’t that deep and this is the same chatter they are talking about. When they catch a jihadist with a nuke in his sock drawer due to a Facebook post or something, then tell us.

Our President killed their founder and leader Osama Bin Laden. All the gifts in the world wont bring Osama back.

Will Americans take America back from these dangerous idiots?

The majority of Americans do not have the will or drive to do anything except demand their government handouts. Nor do they have the moral or spiritual insight to know right from wrong.

I honestly don't see it happening, but, I've been wrong before, once or twice.

Close the embasssies so that hussein and crew can say they did “something” before the nuke goes off in an American city.

America’s gormless administration behaves right in par; i.e., clueless.

But, but, but I thought Obumma had ended the war on terror???? Maybe this is a new terror source, like the Amish or the evangelical Christians. Yeah, that must be it, because Obumma has made the Mooslimbs realize that we aren’t the enemy (as long as we submit to there whims).

Hmmm, I’ve tried it, but liberal think just doesn’t work for me. I must have too many brain cells which get in the way of liberal brain programming.
