abc news ^

The U.S. military said today that by striking a little known terror cell called the Khorasan Group in Syria it was able to take out dangerous men who were “plotting and planning imminent attacks against Western targets to include the U.S. homeland.”

In the midst of the well-publicized campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the military’s first official announcement that a different, potentially more deadly terror group existed, that it’s members were planning an “imminent” attack on America and that those planning the attack had been killed in the U.S.-led bombing campaign all came as something of a surprise, considering that for the public, the group was virtually unheard of until a few days ago.

Khorasan Group of Syria is a non-Islamic organization dedicated to the health and welfare of non-Muslim children in a non-Muslim country.

Would not put it past this regime to make up a terrorist group and then ‘wipe them out’ and proclaim a great victory that prevented numerous attacks on the US.

Cna we really believe anything they say? What was promised to the Arab nations to ‘participate’ in the attacks? And now, after deciding not to bomb Assad for using chemical weapons on his people, we are bombing his enemy, helping him reclaim territory. Really!?! Some foreign policy!! Give Obama another Peace Prize.

They are the excuse Obama is using to justify his war without using Congress. They supposedly are attached to Al Qaeda.

Keyword: Al Qaeda

Obama using this as his legal reason for using what Bush did in Iraq.
