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.

Remember when Obama said we can ‘absorb’ another terrorist attack?

I wouldn't put it past Obunga and Jarrett to have told them to put the warning into effect just to throw a turd into everyone's 4th of July punch bowl.

I thought the muzzies tried to time their attacks with dates of meaning and significance. Based on the last week, I would dare say July 4th has pretty much been rendered devoid of any meaning.

I heard tonight on Fox that FBI regional offices across the country will be on high alert.

Anyone besides me hoping they attack a homo pride parade?

Oh, gosh no...after all the time we have spent to FINALLY unite the gays with normal people, such a tragedy would be a crippling blow...one from which we may never recover.

I read that one day this week before July 4th, is the one year anniversary of ISIS declaring themselves as ISIS. They are also asking those affiliated with ISIS in this country to act against the US during Ramadan.

“Oh, gosh no...after all the time we have spent to FINALLY unite the gays with normal people, such a tragedy would be a crippling blow...one from which we may never recover.”

A man I know saw his daughter’s Facebook page with pictures of her dressed in homo colored garb in New York city marching with the homos and he didn’t know she was a homo. He is really hurt that she had not told him of her homo affiliation. I would bet there are numerous people who are suddenly finding out their family member is a homo.

As long as ISIS limits it's attacks to the District of Corruption I guess it is OK with me.

(I've really changed my tune since 2008. I used to think of that place as a part of America. Silly me!)

Terrorist rule #1

Attack when they expect you to attack to show them you can’t be stopped.

The Willard Hotel has a nice, high roof. Will there be any gay pride parades on the 4th?

Nope. We are still Americans.

Will they be individually attacking our vacationing CongressTRAITORS on their yachts, or in their vineyards or in their multi-million dollar ‘summer’ homes on either coast?

I could understand that. ;)

Maybe San Francisco maybe. Huh?
