Terror Attack Imminent?

How's that NSA data collection working out to figure out where and when this will happen? Oh, that's only used to target law abiding U.S. citizen.

The terror threat prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two dozen embassies and consulates Sunday is the most specific, credible threat information in years, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports.

Intelligence officers have reporting from a reliable source that a major plot is under way and that the team to carry it out has been selected and is in place, Miller reports.

The threat information has been described as the most specific and credible since the foiled plot to blow up British planes en route to the United States in 2006, Miller reports. The specificity ends there.

What authorities don't have is the date, the timing or the target of the attack, which is why they have taken such an approach to warning potential targets, Miller reports.

The threat has prompted the U.S. to issue a global travel warning to all Americans for the first time since the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

White House officials said President Obama was briefed Saturday morning on the potential terrorist threat before departing for Camp David, CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues reports.

Worldwide, 22 U.S. embassies and consulates are preparing to close their doors by Sunday.

The State Department says there is a potential for a terrorist attack "particularly in the Middle East and North Africa."

Officials have specifically mentioned Yemen as a potential target. The country is home base for Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula, also known as AQAP, a terrorist group that many now consider the most dangerous in the world.

The travel alert issued for American citizens worldwide warns that both rail and airports could be targeted.

No worries.

Obama begins birthday weekend with round of golf

 

Do terrorists ever strike golf courses?

 

Why are they telling us this?


1. Make O man look like a great hero for all the lives he will save with this unprecedented intel release (if predicted event actually occurs), thus cancelling out the Benghazi fiasco? (won't work)

2. Show us why we need to sacrifice all of our privacy to the NSA for our own safety? (my 1st choice)

3. Take our minds off the other phony scandals? (another good choice)

Inquiring minds want to know...wait...there are no inquiring minds, at least not in the mainstream media.

Never mind...

 

"Inquiring minds" require minds so. . .

Yep.

 

I think they are just trying to cover their asses incase something really big does happen.

Right now they are pointing to this happening in some middle east country. If something big happens here, Obama is going to receive the wrath of the people.

So far they have screwed up one terrorist attack in the U.S. that they should have been able to stop with all their unconstitutional snooping and the Russians telling them who to watch.

 

Here's some updated info. It looks like they are expecting something big. I guess if the terrorists are smart they will do a small attack and wait for everyone to drop their guard before make the big attack.

On the other hand, I thought Obama said Al Qaeda was decimated and the war on terror was winding down.

On the day that almost two dozen U.S. embassies and consulates across North Africa and the Middle East are closed following the identification of a significant threat from an al-Qaeda affiliate, a senior U.S. official is providing new details about the communications intercepted from the terrorists, telling ABC News that al-Qaeda operatives could be heard talking about an upcoming attack. The official described the terrorists as saying the planned attack is “going to be big” and “strategically significant.”

“The part that is alarming is the confidence they showed while communicating and the air of certainty,” the official said, adding that the group — Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula — appeared to have a media plan for after the attack.

Authorities do not know the exact target of the planned attack, according to the official.

“We do not know whether they mean an embassy, an airbase, an aircraft, trains,” the official said.

Today on “This Week,” Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-MD — the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee — said the intercepted communications called for a “major attack.”

“We received information that high level people from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula are talking about a major attack,” Ruppersberger said. “And these are people at a high level.”

“It’s a very credible threat and it’s based on intelligence,” Ruppersberger continued. “What we have to do now is the most important issue, is protect Americans throughout the world.”

He doesn't know what else to do. Fucking off is really the only thing he has any experience at.

 

We're really showing the terrorists (and the world)our yellow belly by closing these embassies in un precedented numbers. Hell, the murderous bastards have already won, and haven't even fired a shot yet.

 

On top of that, he doesn't give a damn about America anyway. He's the king.
