The sophistication, wealth and military might of Islamic State militants pose a major threat to the United States that may surpass that from al Qaeda, U.S. military leaders said on Thursday.
"They are an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it's in Iraq or anywhere else," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told reporters at the Pentagon about the militant group, which has seized a third of Iraq and released a video this week showing one of its fighters beheading an American hostage.
Asked if Islamic State posed a threat to the United States comparable to that of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Hagel said the group was "as sophisticated and well-funded as any group we have seen.

Why did you let them in WITHOUT a passport, you bastards!
Just like the Boston Atrocities, the US “government”
works for Islamic terrorists AGAINST the American people.
They may very well be the JV, but we have the freshman B team in DC.
No wonder Americans have bought guns the last couple of years now.
Politicians must decide: control the border or be part of The ISIS-Uniparty Axis.
“If you want your heads you can keep your heads.” -Imam Barry
As a reminder, your boss released the current leader, of the Islamic state you speak of, from GITMO. Your boss released five other top generals from GITMO, less than sixty days ago for the exchange of an American traitor. How can you now tell us there is an imminent threat, did it happen this fast, how could you have allowed this to get to out of control, or is that the plan?
Even a greater threat than the Muzzie Brotherhood throughout the Hussein administration.
Wow, pretty impressive for a JV team.
Sounds like they're prepping the Dim supporters for more American action in Iraq, to help turn back the catastrophe Barack Obama is more responsbile for than anyone else.
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
All the Obummer administration clowns do now is state the obvious, but I want to know why in **** did they let this situation get to this point? I am quite certain the answer to the question is that the administration traitors armed, facilitated, deliberated procrastinated, and now have thrust this imminent threat upon the American public. I really would like to see this country fully comprehend the self-destructive, diabolical mindset of this bunch of traitors. This is way beyond ignorance or incompetence. I firmly believe the wicked witch and Obummer pumped huge stockpiles of U.S. and Saddam Hussein's weaponry to these butcherers under the guise they were supporting Syrian 'rebels.' All of a sudden, these bastards exploded on the scene following Bengahzi. As I write this, on the radio outrage is being expressed by a former SEAL over the traitors having deliberately burned another special ops., this one to try and rescue Foley.
One of the terrorists released from gitmo is now running ISIL?
What are you going to do about it? That's the question that should be hurled at every member of Obama's administration who speaks publicly about this.
He’s known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, head of the ruthless Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham. He was detained at Camp Bucca in 2005 and released in 2009. He told his US guards upon his release that he would see them in New York.
Truly frightening the Sec Def offers no plan to destroy these monsters, just empty rhetoric about how big a threat they are.
Just the jayvees.
Yes, and we better hang on to them. The current government would have us left with no protection at all. ISIS and Obama. Both are lethal.
That is the reason I have a foul attitude. All of us have sat back and watched Obama admin destroy us.
911 was the result of Bill Clinton's negligence. Are we setting ourselves up for round II?
