Obama: No ‘credible intelligence’ of imminent attack on U.S. over Thanksgiving
The Washington Times ^ | November 25, 2015 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 11/25/2015 9:59:07 AM PST by jazusamo

Saying U.S. counter-terrorism officials haven't uncovered any credible threat of pending attacks, President Obama urged Americans Wednesday to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday.

"Right now, we know of no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland," Mr. Obama said after meeting in the White House situation room with FBI Director James B. Comey, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and others. "We continue to do everything possible to prevent attacks at home and abroad."

Mr. Obama said it's "understandable" for Americans to worry about terrorist attacks following the Nov. 13 killing spree in Paris by extremists of the Islamic State. And he said it's useful for people to be "vigilant."

"If you see something suspicious, say something," the president said. "But otherwise, Americans should go about their usual Thanksgiving weekend activities, spending time with family and friends and celebrating our blessings."

The president said U.S. military, intelligence and law-enforcement agencies "are on the case."

Nothing credible comes from Washington DC, especially announcements about lack of credible intel on islamic terrorism.

“Right now, we know of no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland,” Mr. Obama said

Now, that old birth certificate deal could be kind of important in parsing this.

He not to be trusted.... use caution...

he's telling you there's no credible threat... but i would feel safer if they acknowledging a threat and that they're monitoring and watching for.

because we're dealing with the simple fact we have people that wants to do us harm and this holiday weekend we are a big fat juicy target ....it would almost be illogical for them not to take a shot....

One want a be ISIS guy with a rice cooker bomb in a black Friday crowd would be a disaster....or a drive by with and AK at the crowds waiting outside of the store ...like the old gangsters movie..or what today's gang bangers ....and your guy gets away with it too cheap so easy and so effective. hard target not for them to pass up.

..the bomb in a store ..that's so easy with all the merchandise going in and out to bring in a bomb in a rice cooker or something else

you have to think like the enemy

And going into the Christmas holidays ....if you bomb the massive shopping crowds ....that would be the greatest way to terrorize and also destroy the economy ...interrupting all that selling....

Would be massively effective and its low hanging fruit

How did that work out with Clock Boy? A $15M lawsuit!

OH,shiite this does not sound good at all.

I would not go out to any sporting event of any kind.

I would not travel on any airline or visit any airport.

I would not shop any mall on Black Friday.

When Obama says all is well, things definitely are not. The traitor lies, lies and tells more lies

Depends on your definition of "credible".

King Obie and his own DoD analysts can't seem to agree on it...

From a guy who doesn’t go to intel briefings and has his shock troops gin up the phony intel that he selectively reads.

Why am I not comforted by anything this major a-hole tells us?

Did we have “credible intel” for the Boston Marathon bombing?

Credible and intelligence are 2 words that should never be uttered by this clown.

Considering the source this is not at all encouraging!

The Source: The Supreme Imam/Caliph of the entire islamic world.

Absolutely right...He has neither, in fact he’s so far removed from them it’s pathetic.
