Janet Napolitano: Feds were aware of ISIL
Politico ^ | 9/8/14 | JONATHAN TOPAZ

Posted on 09/08/2014 1:32:18 PM PDT by george76

Former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Monday that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant was on the “radar screen” when she served in the Obama administration ... in September 2013. “Yes, they were on everybody’s radar screen.”

...

the biggest concern ISIL presents for national security is the so-called foreign fighter problem, in which citizens of the United States and United Kingdom have traveled to the Middle East to join the militants.

“The No. 1 threat to the homeland,” Napolitano said, “are Americans or Europeans who have passports who have been over there and who are trying to come back who may try to do something in the United States, something in Europe.”

Gee Janet, I thought the No. 1 threat to the homeland was white conservative militants.

We’re #2 now? Guess we (like rental car also-ran Avis) will just have to “try harder”. ;-)

Al Qeada, ISIS, ISIL and IS are kind of like Acorn. They just change their name and keep getting funded by the Democrats!

Lovely world we live in. Nuns were decapitated today. May G-d Help Us.

Now asks yourselves about Bridgegate again: why was the George Washington Bridge abruptly closed last year on the anniversary of 9/11?

Because they were LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.

DHS turned a blind eye to the threat of missing nukes, so the Port Authority took matters into their own hands and delayed in-bound Manhattan traffic so they could do passive radiological scanning.

Even lower, the Dems have exploited this to make Christie look bad without any proof that it was political.

From the lady carrying the Obama administration’s water and calling terrorism “man-caused disasters.”

Of course they knew, but this administration has chosen to give a free pass to members of the ROP.

It was the same in World War II - the biggest problem was the 27 Americans who went to Germany and joined up with the Nazis... /s

Janet - “Our borders are now better staffed and better protected than at any time in our nation’s history, and illegal crossings have dropped to near-40-year-lows.”

Interesting possibility but do you have a source?

“Of course they knew, but this administration has chosen to give a free pass to members of the ROP.”

You want to read something really interesting? Look for the 1996 DOJ “Global Threat Assessment” which used to be available online but was removed after the 9/11 attacks.

I read it the week it was posted on the brand-new Internet. Swear to God: it specifically stated that one of their biggest concerns was terrorists hijacking airliners and ramming them into skyscrapers.

Janet Napolitano also said the border is secure!

Napolitano also sent out a BOLO on Prolifers the Holy Week in 2009. On Good Friday I was praying in Front of Planned Parenthood and POLICE demanded ID..

Holy Saturday I was asked again by Philly Cops at Dr Kermitt Gosnell Clinics for ID.. all because I think a baby being slaughtered torn limb by limb is cruel and unusual Punishment.

While President Obama thinks Genocide is Okay he wrote Law for Illinois Senate while Voting 162 times Present on other legislation.

AG Holders wife owned a chain of Abortion Clinics

They all dance with the DEVIL..

No source, but there are about six different data points that suggest it’s a strong possibility:

- Lindsey Graham statement days earlier on missing nukes
- Unplanned bridge closing was suddenly enacted on weekend of 9/11 with no paper trail
- Generals who sounded the alert on the missing nukes were fired several weeks later
- Emails quoted out of context e.g. “Time to take matters into our own hands” — no emails ever corroborated the political vendetta theory
- Mayor of Fort Lee says he was never approached for an endorsement

And ... I honestly forget some of the others! One had to do with an undersea tremor off the coast of SC soon after that, seismograph readings suggest it might have been a nuke detonation. The other had to do with the type of detonation collars associated with the nukes reported to be missing (EMP type).
