That’s the problem with American politicians — they continue to talk in circles but never get to the basics of the problem.

That's very much like the American media. Their items are more like human interest stories. They will not address the scandals, failures, corruption and illegal actions of the Obama “administration”.

you're welcome ... all you did was put into words something we've all known for years but only managed to say, "I couldn't start my day without FreeRepublic" .... or some other such lame thing.

I think it's time to stand up and be a little more outspoken

Would rather we (all) keep this site up and running and contribute ... Many do not and each of them knows whom they are. Just my two cents.

We should also load every gun and tell our loved ones to know where it is located and how to use it.

Inhofe gets it, the sorry excuse in the WH doesn’t want to get it.

Are you kidding? The Sorry Excuse wants to facilitate it.

So why does he keep saying they are working on a way to destroy a city. Nukes are the only way to do that. Is he implying they almost have a workable nuke? If that’s the case keeping the borders as is is criminal and any isis nuke attack would result in immediate revolution, not martial law. Which makes me think obama knows that, wants it, and maybe those 11 libyan airliners that disappeared, combimed with obama removing flight training restrictions for libyans is a major red flag. Is the patriotic part of the military readying appropriate action?

I’m curious as to which city ISIS wants to destroy.

If I were to make a bet, it would be any one of a number of cities or towns near the Mexican border. They slip in (weapons probably already hidden here), do their dirty deed, and fight their way back across the border. In the ensuing chaos, the US government would be confused on how to proceed with going after them in Mexico. The Mexican government would also be in disarray. Obama would be in a quandary about shutting the border while the whole nation is in an uproar. Meanwhile, many people injured or dead. I don't think it will be a nuke. Probably coordinated attacks on large crowds with guns and bombs. That's a big reason why we need a border fence and tougher enforcement on illegals.

“Nukes are the only way to do that.”

Coordinated, or not, attacks on population centers as a distraction followed by attacks on the power grid distribution centers for a start. It isn’t as if we have anything more than security guards on those anyway. The initial distractions would draw all of that heavy metal the local gendarmes have to the scenes of disruption clearing the way for the attack on the grid half an hour to an hour later. Provided the grid attack succeeded there would be a loss of power that would not be soon repaired and civil unrest along with confusion and suspicion would result in chaos. Those responsible for the grid attack would then go on to create deaths and confusion wherever they could to continue spreading the fear and increasing the number of casualties while creating distractions everywhere they went.

Then what to do when the suspicions of the enraged populace seem to or do endanger the local Muslim populations? Of course measures will have to be arranged for their protection. To what lengths will the government go to ensure that happens?

If the second part of the plan where to fail at least they have managed to make a notable strike for propaganda purposes, the installation of fear and bewilderment in the populace, deaths of satanic Americans and a demonstration that our civilian law enforcement, military and intelligence organizations are impotent. They are suicidal jihadists and would have no reservation concerning what would become of them.

All this if they wanted to risk being discovered coordinating the plan. If not one lone individual, well armed at a shopping mall or any other large unsecured gathering taking place would suffice. With enough of them across a city, across the country, having orders to act upon receiving word of the first strike occurring, mass confusion would be the result having the same effects as given in the first paragraph without the long term loss of the grid.

The end goal is to unnerve the public and embarrass the power structure and if at all possible rip the fabric of our society through fear. Our governmental organizations will further aid them by going beyond their authority in the manner they address the problems in the suppression of our freedoms.

Of course the riots, arsons and looting that would follow would be factor to consider as well. Good luck with that.

Think Tet, ‘68. In fact why not ask Tet68? Or Travis McGee, or any other veteran on this board with field experience for their input? There are veterans familiar with irregular warfare hereabouts. I’d ping them but I can’t recall their FR specific names.

Yeah. He will have managed to “fundamentally change” our country alright. Through ineptitude or by design it won’t matter. Those progressives placed in positions of power at all levels of government will take advantage of the crises. After all, why waste the opportunity?

Well, at least I do know that all of this has been gamed in preparation for the responses required of the authorities and knowing how effective government responses are I will sleep well. /s

Sure, it’s possible. 100 committed sleeper terrorists could pull it off. They could even skip the city diversionary attacks and just go after the grid with rifle fire. Same outcome: grid down jihad.
