It's the Arab Spring, silly.

(CNN) -- The U.S. air strikes carried out Friday against ISIS are likely to have one unintended consequence: immediately increase the terrorist threat in Europe and the United States, Western counter-terrorism officials tell CNN.
Within hours of U.S. military jets and drones conducting a strike on ISIS artillery that had been used against Kurdish forces defending Irbil, ISIS supporters called for retaliatory attacks against the United States.
"It is a clear message that the war is against Islam and the mujahideen. The mujahideen must strive and seek to execute proactive operations in their own home, America, to discipline America and its criminal soldiers," Abu al-Ayna al-Khorasani, an administrator of Shumukh al-Islam, the top-tier forum for ISIS propaganda, wrote on his account Friday, according to a translation by the SITE Intelligence group.
Other ISIS supporters railed against the United States using the Twitter handle #AmessagefromISIStoUS, posting images of the wreckage of the twin towers. "Don't forget 11 Sept .. Maybe US citizens want more like that," one extremist tweeted. In June after ISIS captured Mosul, its supporters had warned against strikes in a Twitter campaign #CalamityWillBefallUS.
Here are three ways ISIS and its supporters could retaliate for U.S. military action against its fighters:
1. ISIS could unleash a crash program to attack the West...

Nahhh....that's just insane chatter from the far right.....
Not if they’re dead.
Either we fight, kill and win, or we ponder questions like this.
Well, yeah, let’s have Round 2 of Benghazi with our consulate being destroyed and our fellow Americans being butchered. That’ll stop the Islam-o-Nazis from harming us.
Holder needs to set up another gun running/rocket supply operation and then nuke the peaceloving Muzzies who come to pick them up. They are experts at this, at least against Americans.
Let’s see. ISIS is said to have as many as 5,000 fighters. And the MSM wants us to be quaking in our boots, fearful that they will be taking over the world. Not falling for jt.
All part of the plan.
Bombing raids rally Americans behind the flag and deflect attention from Obama’s sinking poll numbers which threaten the Democrats in the midterms.
Expect a terrorist attack on US interests in the September-October time-frame. (Facilitated by the administration) Americans will be loathe to change leaders in the face of a threat.
ISIS first needs firmer control of Iraq & Syria. Their leaders will not jeopardize that with baby strikes against the West that could invite retaliation....they do fear us.
Wait...isn’t this the religion of peace?
Looks like ISIS has all kinds of support here in the US
in the Dear Leaders community organizing city to boot.

Marchers in Chicago cheering for Isis.Go figure.
I wonder where all those weapons from Benghazi, went to.....
Count on attacks. They see their time as having come. The West is weak and they are rising-this is a guarantee of war.

There is no such thing as ISIS. They are Saudis,and a handful of other nationalities. Stop playing their game.
With our open borders, I would assume they are doing the fire-ant thing: amassing the troops and waiting for a signal to tell them all to bite at the same time...
The News likes to ponder - if we solved our problems - then no one would watch their half-hearted attempted news stories...
Drive past a school bus on a long rural route and blast it with machine gun bullets. Drop time bombs in trash cans in malls. Bomb the outsides of airport terminals where people pick up and drop off. Any of these can be done cheaply and with zero risk. Heck, we can’t even catch Chicago drive-by shooters and that’s in a city were there are hundreds of witnesses. (None of whom see anything, by-the-way.)
