The top U.S. intelligence official said Tuesday that ISIS was likely to attempt direct attacks on the U.S. in the coming year and that the group was infiltrating refugees escaping from Iraq and Syria to move across borders.

James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, estimated that violent extremists were active in about 40 countries and that there currently exist more terrorist safe havens "than at any time in history."

Testifying on global threats at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Clapper warned that ISIS and its eight branches were the No. 1 terrorist threat, and that it was using the refugee exodus from violence in Iraq and Syria to hide among innocent civilians in order to reach other countries.

Clapper said ISIS was "taking advantage of the torrent of migrants to insert operatives into that flow," adding that they were "pretty skilled at phony passports so they can travel ostensibly as legitimate travelers."

All I have to do is go to Walmart to see what has already happened. The Republican controlled Congress is complicit in obama’s illegal invasion.
Not long ago there were massive cell phone buys all across the state of MO.

But it didn't seem to occur to you to NOT release this info tidbit, James? Why don't you release the operatives names, jerk?

Did you put it in a Hillary email so everybody knows?

Yes, I read about that. But never saw any follow up. Ft. Wood is not all that far from the find. There have been disgruntled soldiers before, Ft. Hood, TX. Lots of places to hide things around Ft. Wood.
