While the Islamic State group is getting the most attention now, another band of extremists in Syria — a mix of hardened jihadis from Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Europe — poses a more direct and imminent threat to the United States, working with Yemeni bomb-makers to target U.S. aviation, American officials say.
At the center is a cell known as the Khorasan group, a cadre of veteran al-Qaida fighters from Afghanistan and Pakistan who traveled to Syria to link up with the al-Qaida affiliate there, the Nusra Front.

Nothing to see here... Move along.
Obama is allied with these people. He is a Muslim extremist. All the evidence is clear.
More overseas contingency operations I see...

An islamic cell by any other name is still a terrorist organization.
Is these the “rebels” Obama will be training for the next couple of years to defeat the Islamics that are not Islamics that are in ISIS?
I like it. :-)
What we've done in the Middle East, IMHO, is the equivalent of stopping the antibiotic treatment before eradicating the infection. Those bacteria we didn't eradicate (the remnants of Al Queda, etc.) have developed resistance to the antibiotics (e.g. learned new strategies, such as how to insulate their funding sources from us, and likely new ways to avoid surveillance and counterterrorism measures) and are now causing a new infection (i.e. ISIS), and they are going to require new antibiotics and a more aggressive treatment to eradicate. If we can't produce better antibiotics, to which they are susceptible, they will continue to grow until they destroy us.
In short, by not finishing the job and providing lasting security to the world and the Middle East, we have allowed the enemy to develop resistance against our tactics, and have now made them more dangerous than they were before. Dealing with this will involve a more aggressive strategy than before, not a lessor strategy. Unfortunately, that's the truth, and the administration is not going to respond in this manner.
So, AP says that there are muslim terrorists in the US.
Hmmmm...
Perhaps we should run an experiment to test these new bacteria’s resistance to radiation ...
Respond in this manner? Hell...this administration is not going to respond in any manner other than token efforts like his Democratic predecessor (missile strikes on aspirin factory).
We are in an even worse situation now than we were under Clintoon right before 9/11. At least Clinton didn't help train, fund and arm Bin Laden. And back then, after 9/11, the nation actually had a surplus due to Clinton being forced to balance the budget vs. now being trillions in debt with rampant unemployment and welfare-dependent citizens.
We're going to get hit again... hit hard and the next time will be disastrious for the survival of this nation. At which point Obama's mission will be accomplished.... finally.
But what other result could you expect when you put a communist Muzzie sympathizer in control of the biggest and most powerful nation in the Western world... for six years running.
I agree, but where we are, and the fact that Obama was allowed to waltz in and do what he has done, is the result of many things that have been happening for many years. After the fall of the USSR, those on the left didn't give up. They increased their efforts, on many fronts. There are many Obamas waiting in the wings. The problems are very fundamental, and are the result of at least 6 decades of broad efforts by those on the side working to eradicate the America we are familiar with.
Most people still don’t believe he is a muslim.
