U.S. Pushes Back Against Warnings That ISIS Plans to Enter From Mexico
New York Times ^ | 9/15/14 | Michael S. Schmidt

Washington - Militants for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have traveled to Mexico and are just miles from the United States. They plan to cross over the porous border and will “imminently” launch car bomb attacks. And the threat is so real that federal law enforcement officers have been placed at a heightened state of alert, and an American military base near the border has increased its security. As the Obama administration and the American public have focused their attention on ISIS in recent weeks, conservative groups and leading Republicans have issued stark warnings like those that ISIS and other extremists from Syria

I note the NYT publishes a headline “U.S. Pushes Back Against.....” when anybody in their journoright mind would say “Obama Administration Pushes Back Against.....”

Blatantly dodging his responsibility in this irresponsibility.

"But counterterrorism officials say they are far more concerned that an ISIS militant will enter the United States the same way millions of people do each year: legally, on a commercial flight"

FReepers don't need to consult their secret magical decoder rings to see the black humor here.

I can definitively confirm that we have seen absolutely no evidence the that ISIS is a threat.

I am convinced the terrorists will use the Southern border before they use commercial plane flights for one reason: using the border, they can also bring across the tools they need to perform their nasty deeds. None of those items would make it on a commercial airliner.

I am, quite frankly, anxious to hear nobama’s explanation after some terrorist group does some nasty deed here in America and it is proved they came in over the border.

Where will they acquire these tools you refer to? How would they have gotten them into Mexico? Are those supplies not readily available here (think OK city bombing)?

Let’s face it, you or I could make a very effective car bomb. It’s not that complicated nor are the components that difficult to obtain. We haven’t been attacked because the attackers are either stupid enough to blab to the the FBI or they don’t really have the guts to follow through on their rhetoric. We’ve been dodging the bullet. I doubt that will go on much longer.

Because there ain't no TEA Party members in ISIS.

The narco-cartels have everything and then some that any self respecting terrorist could want.

I concur. I read of an anti-terrorism agent who said something to the effect of, regarding catching terrorist, 'we have to get lucky every time, they only have to get lucky once'.

Since the early 90's, I have been convinced that NYC will be nuked, eventually. Now I figures it will most likely be a dirty bomb. Did you see the movie "Dirty War"?

“I concur. I read of an anti-terrorism agent who said something to the effect of, regarding catching terrorist, ‘we have to get lucky every time, they only have to get lucky once’.”

That’s very much the truth.

ANYTHING is now in the realm of the POSSIBLE!

The so called people in charge have NO IDEA who is coming in the USA. BO surely knows they are coming and if something were to happen he would have blood on his hands. Could that be why he’s not waving his magic, dictator wand and granting amnesty to all the law breakers flowing in? They have not a clue who is in this country and why.

OK, so ISIS must realize that if they set off a few car bombs it will only provoke a greater military response from the US.

The only way the Caliphate will obtain its expansionist goal is to render the US unable to respond.

They need to hit us big, both bioengineered plague or ebola, wipe out the power grid with an electromagnet pulse weapon or smuggle in some mini nukes to place in all of our major cities.

Why do you think this administration left the borders wide open?
