Ex-CIA Head: ‘I Wouldn’t Be Surprised’ if ISIS Attacks the U.S. This July 4th
Truth Revolt ^ | 6/29/15 | Mark Tapson

Posted on 06/29/2015 6:35:43 PM PDT by markomalley

The Blaze reports that former CIA head Michael Morell said today he “wouldn’t be surprised” if there’s a terrorist attack in the United States over the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin Friday warning of heightened concerns over potential terrorist attacks during the holiday weekend. ABC News reported that the bulletin said Independence Day could appear to extremists to defame the Prophet Muhammad and would “likely result in threats or plans to conduct violent extremist acts.” The bulletin also warned government and military officials to be cautious of their social media posts over the weekend.

Former CIA Deputy Director Morell told CBS’ This Morning that while such warnings go out routinely, ”there’s nothing routine about this particular one to me.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re sitting here a week from today talking about an attack over the weekend in the United States. That’s how serious this is.

Morell noted that there have been some 50 people arrested in the U.S. within the last year with some tie or allegiance to the Islamic State group, which has also issued a “call to arms” during Ramadan:

There’s a lot of people out there who are seeing themselves as aligned with ISIS. Number two, you have this ISIS call to arms during Ramadan. We are right in the middle of Ramadan, call to arms, conduct attacks against our enemies, so I’m worried about this one.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said today that there are no credible threats on Fourth of July celebrations this weekend.

I’d be surprised. Can’t remember any of the alerts being confirmed.

It all depends on Obama. If he gives the word, the attack will proceed as planned.

Morrell was the guy who CHANGED THE TALKING POINTS TO THE VIDEO.

This man is a rich and famous criminal.

He’s also very firmly in the Hillary camp.

“Especially since we’ve armed & equipped them” he added.

If Morrell says it's probably going to happen, then it means it would be...

DONE BY **HILLARY'S** PEOPLE.

Ok, well WHAT is crazy in today's USA, huh..?

Nothing.

There have been lots of omens and divine shots across the bow since last winter. After 6/26 God won’t be shooting across the bow, he’ll be aiming right for the bow or beam ... or bridge.

It won’t surprise me if they drive tanks across the Rio Grande, there isn’t much to stop them.

ISIS is fostered by Obama and others so I wouldn’t be surprised.

WHY would Islamists attack this country? Obama and his tyrannical courts are doing enough damage to the US as is.
