Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell said Monday on CBS This Morning there was “nothing routine” about July 4 terrorist attack warnings by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, adding that he would not be surprised if “we’re sitting here a week from today talking about an attack.”

Federal authorities issued warnings across the United States of potential terroristic targeting of Independence Day celebrations

Islamist Muslim terrorists like softy targets because they're cowards.
No way in hell they can handle a real battle unless they outnumber us
500/1 and even then they won't have much of a chance. The two idiots
in Garland were the elite of Islam followers, lying in wait, to Die.

Can you believe this....Americans sitting quietly and waiting for some one (ISIS) to launch an attack on us.....and how will we respond....well, we'll bawl them out real good...and we'll warn them to not do that again..or else..and then we'll swoon over a possible first female president, and we'll congratulate each other on passing a law to allow gays to marry, and we'll relish in the fact that "don't ask, don't tell" has been removed from the military and while we're at it, we'll celebrate 57 million dead babies so women could have control over their own bodies (apparently never heard of BIRTH CONTROL)...But don't worry, the most transparent administration in history has everything under control.....and the nuclear talks with Iran are coming along just fine...

Sleep well tonight.

“And we are to do what exactly?”

If the target is inside the beltway, let ‘em pass. They’ve made their bed. Let God’s judgement be upon them.

I don’t know. Two threads before I got to this one had seemingly been pulled for no good reason that I could see, with no explanations other than they had been pulled.

‘Just venting, I guess.

I think people in isolated rural areas really don’t have much to worry about; they’re mostly armed. It’s the urban city folks who’d have to worry armed with just a cellphone.

Active Duty ping.

[SeekAndFind]

I know why. The thread had a quote from USA TODAY.

I purposely cut out the USA TODAY quote since the paper does not like being referred to by FR.

and correcting the apostrophe...

[Rastus]

I thought we’d gone from “too big to fail” to “too fabulous to attack.”

[DonaldC]

“It’s the urban city folks who’d have to worry armed with just a cellphone.”

The could launch a hashtag counter attack. LOL

[riri]

Not routine? Why do I have all this duct tape then?

[BenLurkin]

America should be so lucky.

guess i will decide to carry instead of having a beer or two if i go anywhere on the 4th. just part of the life style change necessary when being responsible.

I don’t know how real the threat of an emp is. I don’t know if enough studies have been done on it.

But I’ve read that a 50 KT device detonated 300 miles above the surface could fry the electronics for about a 300 mile radius on the ground, a circular are of about 300,000 square miles.

Such a weapon would require a missile capable of escape velocity, which I don’t think ISIS possesses.

More likely a small nuke or dirty bomb in a large city. Maximizes immediate loss of life and provides the best terror factor bang for the buck.

"And we are to do what exactly?"

Arm yourself.

[Patriot Babe]

Bingo! same here and I won’t be shocked one bit when it happens.

[DonaldC]

They could create more fear with a Washington sniper type attack or IEDs, and fear is what they are all about. For destruction like you speak of, that will take a state and don’t worry, Iran is working on it.

We are safe. There will be some kind of last minute “terrorist” ring busted up and Obama will make a comment about how he and Brian Williams saved American lives. As I see it, as long as Obama is in office there will not be any other terrorist attack, he is doing exactly what they want him to do. We are living an on-going terrorist attack every day and have been since he took office.
