Peter King: Plot ‘most specific I’ve seen’ By: Breanna Edwards August 2, 2013 06:07 PM EDT
Chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence Rep. Peter King confirmed on Friday that “something serious is being planned,” prompting the shutdown of 21 U.S. embassies across the world.
“There’s very little doubt, if any, that something serious is being planned,” the New York Republican told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on a phone call in “The Situation Room.” “I’ve been getting briefed fairly regularly over the last seven or eight years at least and also pretty heavily before then and this is the most specific I’ve seen.”
“It is not just trying to connect the dots. That is very specific information about the fact that there is a plot, that attacks are planned, but again it’s not certain as to where,” he added.
King said that the information had been developing for a while, but remained tight-lipped about any possible sources and other details, mostly reiterating known information.
“[Al Qaeda] would be, I would say, the main driving force here, that’s pretty much what’s been confirmed by the government, that it is coming out of Yemen and it is Al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula…where most of these threats do come from.”
The Republican also praised the government for its actions in closing down embassies and sending out travel advisories saying they were doing “exactly the right thing,” and he insisted there was no need for panic.
“You see unprecedented actions, 21 embassies being closed, the global travel advisory being given. This is being taken very, very seriously,” he said. “[It] shows how seriously our government is taking it and I give them credit. I think the government is doing exactly the right thing.”

I’m with you. It’s just too coincidental that all this NSA, IRS, Snowden, Big Brother crap erupts and suddenly there’s this very serious - - “specific” - - terror threat. No sale.
Send in more unicorns!
Let’s see where Obama is going to be on August 4th.
Sounds a lot like:
¶ Happy birthday Mr President, happy birthday to you ¶
Kaboom. “Call that spontaneous you aberigine”.
If this administration was serious about stopping (or at least reducing) terrorism, all it would take is a speech by Zerobama saying that any terrorist attack against American interests would result in the absolute annihilation of one muzzie holy site to be chosen at random. Then reveal a large wheel with the names of dozens if not hundreds of muzzie holy sites on it and say “you attack us and I’ll spin the wheel and retaliate against whichever spot the wheel lands on. And after that spot gets reduced to a smoldering hole we’ll replace its name on the wheel with a new label that says ‘Mecca’. The more attacks on us the more times we add Mecca to the wheel and the more likely your moon rock gets destroyed.”
We’d hear a lot of cries about how bad we are, but I’ll bet the terrorist attacks would come to a real quick halt.
Just keep on stomping to keep the elephants away. If nothing materializes, how do we really know there was a threat in the first place? Trust us, we are from the government and we are here to help you.
“Wasn’t Obama supposed to make the muzzies love us.”
Who could love a Muzzie Usurper in the White Hut who has knee pads for his encounters with Muzzies around the world?
Ok, they can shut down the embassies, but if AQ is serious about attacking, they will find a target. So if nothing happens, you can figure this was just a charade to make Obama seem competent and distract from all the scandals.

I’m confused...
First of all, let’s tell our sworn (wanting to kill us) enemy that we heard through our probably compromised sources that we are hip to a credible threat of violence against all of our Benghazi-like embassies. Let’s telegraph our moves, and endanger our intel operatives and embassy personnel (...and families) because we want to look clairvoyant when something bad happens because our government is ridiculously inept......brilliant move.
Regurgitating and re-marketing “Sequester” as the ultimate cause will rejuvenate the complicit press and inflame the idiotic 47%;..... and catapult the President to.... 47% approval ratings.
In the interest of expediency, Obama should send an email to WWW.Muslimbrotherhood.com of our discoveries and response...in advance.....oh wait, he just did.
The President of the United States can interrupt one of his perpetual, “Trayvon is Rosa Parks” speeches, and divulge specific intel in order to give a heads-up to avowed murderers who are intent on killing Americans wherever they are. What could possibly go wrong?
....I’ll never vote for him a 3rd time. I’m starting to get suspicious.
LOL
Let’s see. There’s something those locations have in common...thinking...thinking...thinking...]
What could it possibly be???!
This is awful. Here we are laughing at someone we used to trust -to a degree - when it came to Al Q and terrorism. More than ANYTHING this is why I so detest this president.He has done things that make it impossible to believe ANYTHING the government tells us.
I don’t know whether to believe Peter King or not. Nor do I know whether HE’S been given actual facts either.
What if this one time they’re telling the truth? God be with our people in danger. But if they’re lying to us. ..
Everyone here is completely forgetting what starts on this coming Sunday, and it is the obvious reason the embassies are closing. ...........
SHARK WEEK !!!!!
wag the dog shell game
Talk — translation came to mind
More specifically : Casa Blanca
What one thought was in reality something completely different. All lost in translation
Huge distraction was needed. Benghazi and IRS moving closer to the White House.
this sounds way too convenient. I think we might be looking at about a few dozen additional “plots” that will be “prevented” by the NSA program... just in time for Obama to sing the program’s praises.
Chalk one up for the NSA...
It wouldn't take a rocket surgeon of a terrorist to figure out he needs to move his attack up to Saturday...
