CIA Chief: ISIS Sending Operatives to US

CIA Director John Brennan will tell Congress on Thursday that Islamic State militants are training and attempting to deploy operatives for further attacks on the West and will rely more on guerrilla-style tactics to compensate for their territorial losses.

In remarks prepared for the Senate Intelligence Committee, Brennan says IS has been working to build an apparatus to direct and inspire attacks against its foreign enemies, as in the recent attacks in Paris and Brussels — ones the CIA believes were directed by IS leaders.

"ISIL has a large cadre of Western fighters who could potentially serve as operatives for attacks in the West," Brennan said, using another acronym for the group. He said IS probably is working to smuggle them into countries, perhaps among refugee flows or through legitimate means of travel.

Brennan also noted the group's call for followers to conduct so-called lone-wolf attacks in their home countries. He called last week's attack in Orlando a "heinous act of wanton violence" and an "assault on the values of openness and tolerance" that define the United States as a nation.

As of 2012, there were several Jihadist training camps
dotted all over the USA. Now, 4 yrs. later, surely more.
(Can someone do some research?) They dress in camouflage
& those hoods with eyeholes & crawl all over their
training grounds. - OK. We’re ready. If they dare to crawl
into our place; they have to get past the big sinkhole out
front that’s crawling with rattlesnakes & copperheads, then
past our big guard dog, Dub, then past Fang’s crossbow &
my Smith & Wesson revolver that my great, great grandfather
carried when he worked as a lightskeeper on the river back
in the early 1900’s.

Sounds like you still need a long range piece of gear. Past cross bow distance. Although cross bows are usually pretty quiet. :>)

OH MY GOD! MUZLIMS ARE SENDING BAD GUYS TO THE US AND OTHER PLACES BY INFILTRATING THE “REFUGEES” TO PERFORM ACTS OF TERROR AND MURDER IN THE WEST?

No f@%#ing s#!t, Sherlock. What’s the point of this speech? Isn’t Brennan a muzzie?

...but he emphatically says these people are here already in large numbers, home grown our lone wolf and motivated over the internet, and he says to get a carry permit because the attacks are coming.

I've been told the same thing.

Us "close the borders" people have been saying for years that this is coming.

As I recall, Brennan is the guy who works in the ObamaBAMA Administration and has said publicly that ISIS grew 4,400% in the last 7+ years. They were allegedly about 700 strong when Bush left office, and grew exponentially. Pretty good stats for the JV Team. Thank God Obama has them “on the run”.

The berman guy gets today’s NSS Award (No Sh** Sherlock) which will be presented to him by Captain Obvious later this afternoon.

It is shocking that the taxpayers pay these people.

Oh. Fang has rifles & shotguns. - I can handle the Smith
& Wesson revolver; but the crossbow I’m not stout enough
to pull the string on it.
