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.

"Chatter....pure bull spit!!"No..you are wrong. They are listening to chatter..ours. AlQeada...not so much.

AlQeada were to reported by our own military to have ditched phones and computers years ago. I see a poorly put together CYA operation by a jaded, on the run, fascist, spying, failing and cornered admin.

Why did we make it public that we’re able to monitor Al Qaeda’s chatter?

Did the news media announce it in 1943 when US cryptanalysts broke the Japanese military transmission code and learned of Admiral Yamamoto’s flight plans? Or when the Allies cracked the Nazi Enigma code?

Candy asked him the when and where question, he said "the when was very specific in terms of a Sunday".

It's 8:23 PM in Israel right now. Not too much time left.

What good is being able to detect ‘’CHATTER’’ if our intelligence agencies can’t determine what the chattering is ABOUT?

If one’s normally quiet dog erupts into an unusual state of continuous loud barking, it’s essential find out what’s wrong, even to the point of taking Fido to the vet. Otherwise, Fido may well die.

If our intelligence agencies can’t pinpoint the areas of attack Al-Qaeda is chattering about and prevent the attacks, we’re doomed.

At least when dogs get sick they can normally count on their owners to do everything possible to try to help them, not run off for crucial hours to play golf. Our president treats us worse than dogs.

while Obama fiddled, AL-qaeda has refitted for the coming battle...

In Arabic, this is called the Hudna.

Think of the kid on the playground getting his assbeating, calls "Time Out", catches his breath, picks up a rock and throws it while shouting "Time In!"

Odinga said he'd "side with the Muslims". Probably the only honest thing he's ever said.

Great, let’s ask Di Fi and Saxby shamblin— they were hi-security cleared briefed. And are acting like deer in the headlights buffoons.

The key elements are-— who is telling us all this, and are THEY to be trusted. In Cloward Piven... the destruction of this system is essential prelim to anarchic vacuum and the need for State run order... dictat.

Could be planned attacks on soft targets during back to school shopping, but somehow I doubt it. Just not big enough or spectacular enough.

Sunday (if accurate ) may be a clue. Sporting events? coordinated attacks at large churches? They would go for maximum casualties to inflict maximum terror. Government buildings are closed on Sundays or at least have many fewer personnel. To find a target I would look at where big crowds gather, and Mideast terrorists love to use aircraft.

Just thinking out loud, I guess.

Well, it certainly didn’t in Benghazi before the last election— it was an anti-islamic video made by a Coptic— yeah, right.

Great question! Apparently ANY “chatter” would be more than we picked up on 9/10.

Paul Broun is a hair on fire in your face conservative. He’s the guy for this next cycle.

It was on this day during the month of Ramawhatever that the false god allah revealed the first false teachings of the super absorbant quilted koran to mohamed the false profit. Note: any disrespect toward islam noted in this posted is purely intentional.

"Black Muslim Chicago gang.... in Illinois congress. ...involved with Libya in gun running way back when."

Wow..the pieces would definitely fit this scenario.

I've been puzzled at why they would intimidate the survivors of the Libya attack to keep quiet, just for political gain. This makes much more sense.

They were running a Mideast Fast and Furious, arming sides against one another to stir the pot or just a money making cartel?
