Chambliss, sources: Terror chatter beyond anything heard since before 9/11
Fox News ^ | August 4 2013 | Staff

Posted on 08/04/2013 9:50:48 AM PDT by yoe

The so-called “chatter” about a terror plot that led the Obama administration to close 22 U.S. embassies and consulates Sunday across the Muslim world goes beyond anything heard before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee and Fox News sources.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, of Georgia, said Sunday the so-called “chatter” detected by U.S. intelligence agencies that led the Obama administration to order the closures and issue a global travel warning to Americans is "very reminiscent of what we saw pre-9/11."

[snip] A Mideast diplomat says al-Zawahiri “pressuring” Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to launch new terrorist attacks on Western and American targets is “unprecedented.”

Sources also told Fox News the extraordinary volume of “chatter” follows months of “absolute quietness” on terrorist phone lines, computer outlets, websites and other communication outlets.

The escapes in Iraq. So, who let them out?

The shia control iraq govt. and the sunni brotherhood want it back— the baathist party types.

Net result of iraq wars then being— more war and more terrorists. Set the sunni and shia against each other— make sure and keep them busy there and leave us alone, would be a better pipe dream strategy.

The Obama/Jarrett tragic lack of Foreign Policy and Jet Setting Hillary have enabled Al-Qeada to rise....while Obama fiddled, AL-qaeda has refitted for the coming battle...t

Is it possible that Obama is doing exactly as ha said he would. He is downright evil and completely has is out for America. Worse, over half the public thinks he is doing a great job as president.

Some Congessman briefed on the chatter said a Sunday was mentioned. Coincidentally 8/11 is a Sunday. No significance.

The dirt bags just admitted that the Clinton administration KNEW full well of al qaeda's plans on 911 and DID NOTHING TO WARN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION .

Yeah, whatever Saxby. Would you have your NSA boys pass on to my Aunt Darlene that we are coming to Nebraska early this fall, not the middle of this month as planned.
And the chair is against the wall. ‘Terror chatter.’ Sure. John has a long mustache. Ya da ya da ya da.

They have so far and not indication it is waning. He is so inculcated into the fabric of our country that he can play it exactly however he wants to. He has proven sa after day that no one is going to stop him from doing what ever he wants.

Worse, there is seemingly no way to stop him.

I really detest our reaction to these threats. Our govt is running scared and broadcasting it to the world. Just greatly reduce staff at the embassies and increase security with orders to shoot to kill.
Don’t we want to kill the folks who would want to attack us? What better way than to kill them during the attempt.

I detest the current administration and their incompetent ways, however these terrorists are most likely already on a suicide mission (and are the pawns not the planners) Also, after all the heat (and well deserved) about Benghazi, they are unlikely to risk the lives of any embassy personnel

The “chatter” is Obama and Jarrett discussing how to divert attention from all these phony scandals.

Exactly. BO just tells everyone else to take care of tit for him. He doesn’t even attend a meeting. He goes to play golf and lets the grown ups handle the terrorists threats. Pitiful. Can you imagine if Bush and Cheney just told their people to deal with it and then traipsed off to Martha’s Vineyard.
