CIA head: ‘Inevitable’ that ISIS will try to attack US
The Hill ^ | 2/14/16 | Bradford Richardson

Posted on 02/15/2016 2:19:47 AM PST by Libloather

CIA Director John Brennan on Sunday said in an interview broadcast late Sunday that it is "inevitable" that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) will try to carry out attacks in the United States.

"I'm expecting them to try to put in place - the operatives, the material or whatever else that they need to do or to incite people to carry out these attacks, clearly," Brennan said on CBS's "60 Minutes."

"So, I believe that there attempts are inevitable," he added. "I don't think their successes necessarily are."

Brennan said the intelligence agency knew in the days leading up to the November attack in Paris that the terrorist group was planning to strike somewhere.

"We knew just in the days before that ISISL was trying to carry out something," he said, using an alternate acronym for the group.

"But the individuals involved have been able to take advantage of the newly available means of communication that are - that are walled off from law enforcement officials," he added, referring to encryption technology.

He said U.S. intelligence has prevented "numerous" ISIS attacks from taking place so far.

"Believe me, intelligence security services have stopped numerous attacks - operatives that have been moved from maybe the Iraq to Syria theater into Europe," he added.

"They have been stopped and interdicted and arrested and detained and debriefed because of very, very good intelligence."

how many people on twitter yesterday were ripping apart by paesano :( and advocating for muslims.

black and white, gay and straight.

i’m pretty sure i could take care of three of these effiminates on my own.

but they want the military to be their weapon.

and the black posters REALLY hate whites. and even said Scalia was mobbed up and Gotti is the real Italians.

they are the most RACIST people I have ever known blacks.

They HOPE ISIS hurts us, like ISIS will give them a pass.

They wont have to if we let a million in. They have already attacked. It is likely the attacks will mirror the PA model, small single attacks. No one can stop a single bomber. I was surprised at the Bataclan attack. It shows they do not fear being detected in France. We all know the problem france has had for years. Law enforcement just not showing up in these areas.
How many Americans must die on their own soil before we fight back?

Brennan is reportedly a convert to Islam. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's in bed with Muslim Brotherhood and might oppose ISIS only to the extent their goals conflicted with those of the MB.

Of course they will. It’s only a matter of time, thanks to all the ‘immigrants’ (Muslim colonists) Obama has imported and distributed all over America, and his opening the Southern border where thousands of jihadists have crossed over with the Latin illegals.
None of us are safe anymore- not in any city or town in this country.

Garland, Texas, was just another isolated incident, workplace violence, nothing to see here, folks, keep moving along...

ISIS ueber alles! Considering the number of sympathizers they already have in high places in this country, the fifth column has already arrived and is in place for a most formidable attack.

Biggest flash mob the world has ever seen.

I am pretty sure the statement should say that ISIS "is attacking".

The problem is that 50% of America could not handle the truth and 47% could give a crap less.

That leaves us 3% to really get ready to defend Her.

I heard that, too. Considering the number of MB people high in the DHS and elsewhere, I have little doubt the DCI has changed the focus of the agency to be less effective against certain groups most of us would consider hostile.

The shift from emphasis on countering and eliminating foreign threats to this country to monitoring and intimidating* (so far) domestic "threats" as laid out by the SPLC and others indicates resources are being used against primarily Christian Americans, and not those of Muslim faith at home or abroad.

*LaVoy Finnicum's murder and the Waco incident were intended to intimidate other Americans, not an open declaration of war... yet

ISIS is just waiting for the green light to attack, from their leader in the White Mosque.

Someone who makes that disgusting statement needs to be fired immediately. How can someone sit there and say such a thing to the American public without applying all American resources to eliminate the threat immediately. It appears to me the statement is made only to grate the American people. It is absolutely reprehensible. Do you really believe Trump would put up with such BS?

Me too. My list is immediate family only and even some of those are not on the list. Barry and his ilk and the current crop of spineless GOPe have successfully made me not give a shiite anymore.
