I could see a certain missing airliner become suddenly not missing and blown apart about 1000' AGL after breaking off an "approach" to O'Hare, replete with a bunch of U235/238 from Iran in the hold.
Call it a conspiracy theory, but a B777 doesn't just go missing without a trace. It's in Pakistan somewhere. |

Threat or not, I'm taking an extra amount of weapons with me on 9/11 like I do every year. 3 handguns on me, 2 rifles and a shotgun in the truck. Can't be too prepared for a date when you know some groups want to one up the last guys. View Quote So what do you plan to use your small arms on/for? The "last guys" used airliners, which would have required SAMs to bring down. If they're going for a big target, there's nothing the average Joe can do to stop it. The cowards hit soft targets on purpose. |

You're not going to fly an airliner anywhere with no transponder across about twenty different countries airspace. FIghters would get involved out over the ocean somewhere and that thing would get splashed long before it even got close. And probably not by Americans. Everyone else would be all, "WTF is an airliner screaming with radiation doing flying over our country!?!" |

What do they have to gain by launching an attack on the US? They would unify the American people and we would go back over there. Right now they should be more focused on consolidating their gains and expanding into weakly governed areas. View Quote Unify?

I absolutely agree that keeping a very close eye on them, and playing whack-a-mole with them using drones and air strikes is a great approach when prefer they stick either heads up, is a great idea. That said, their immediate goals are very much IN Syria and in Iraq, and they have a much greater interest in trying to establish their "Caliphate" in actual territory in the M.E. than they do in taking some pot-shot at the US ... Especially since they KNOW it would force the U.S. hand, and they saw what happened to Afghanistan part 9/11 They'll talk the tough anti-US rhetoric, but right now (and for the next several years), they have ZERO interest in an actual confrontation with the US.

Same place they hit last year in the US. Nowhere. You know they've been around since 2003, right? They used to be called "Al Qaeda in Iraq" and eventually morphed into ISIS/ISIL. If they were able to hit the US (or really wanted to), they would probably have done it at some point in the last decade. Sure, but apparently they now control about $2B in assets and have about a $2M per day income in oil and fuel sales from refineries they control (which why those wells and refineries aren't smoldering ruins right now is beyond me). So, essentially al Qaeda with more money and resources. I don't advocate panic, but some concern would seem to be in order.

Quoted: Nairobe style mall attack at Christmas probably gives them boners. View Quote That's what I see them going after.... large public gatherings where the majority are unarmed.

We should plan a party for IS. Take it to them.
Starting at midnight on 9/11 begin a 24 hour bombing campaign across Iraq, Syria and any other identified stronghold. If anything happens in our nation instigated by them, refuel, rearm and give them another 24 hours worth of sorties. Who wouldn't like that kind of party with huge explosions & night time illuminations!? MOAB's at midnight anyone? |

Well, I think we can eliminate Wamsutter Wyoming as a possible target.

Quoted:
So far as I can tell, AQ and similar organizations have never stopped instructing true believers to either form up or go rogue and take the fight to the U.S. homeland in piecemeal fashion, telegrpahing the message through publications such as Inspire and the like. Considering the natural factionalism of movements like the IS and the potential for diversion of funding and material support by motivated members, I can't see how attacks within the U.S. wouldn't be a concern. View Quote ...Pretty much from here on out, I'd wager. The cat's out of the bag ever since 9/11/01, that we can be hit here at "home" and be counted on to react in a huge way. |

ISIS are attention whores. I'm sure they've thought of all these and want to make a splash. If they do, we better have a full out invasion and kill every man, woman, child and goat in ISIS territory. WW2 wasn't won by avoiding civilian casualties.

I'm not so sure they are quite the threat they are made out to be. What is it that they really want. Sure they would love to take over the world, fly their flag over the White House, and all of that. I don't think that is their actual current goal. What they are always talking about is "an Islamic State" aka a country where their brand of religion is the law, not like those secular Saudis . I don't see how that goal is furthered by attacking the US in a way big enough to get a real full on response from the US military.
N. Korea, Iran, Venezuela and others are constantly sabre rattling and engaging in provocative actions (including murder for N. Korea). That doesn't mean they are actually intent on going to war. I think IS wants their own sand box to control and their hatred of us is secondary. They will happily encourage people inside the US they have won over to their ideology to carry out things like the Boston bombing, but I don't think they will expend a lot of their own resources to make it happen. They are certainly a threat but I'm not sure they are really as intent on major attacks inside the US as they claim. I could be wrong though. |

Here is my wag - hit the power grid. With a bit of research I bet a significant portion of the population of the US could be blacked out with 10 small bombs. While we scramble - hit the rail system that delivers coal to the electric plants - that would cause a secondary power issue for another week. Enough that people would be without food and riots would start. Then if you want to really have fun - hit the water supply randomly (if killing electricity would not be enough to shut down the water supply... So energy, food, and water. Our Government would be so busy dealing with riots we would forget about the middle east. View Quote Obama already has that covered. |

I think if they hit us here at home it will be in a bunch of places at one time. Malls or sporting events, places like that.
Any place with large groups of people. I also think it will be on a christen holiday like Christmas or Easter. I would not want to be a muslim in this country if we are attacked in this country again. |

You are describing them as rational people who just want their own country and they are nothing of the sort. So, nah, let's don't take them seriously. I'm definitely not suggesting that we shouldn't take them seriously. They are bloodthirsty violent people who hate us. I'm just suggesting that we may be blowing the threat out of proportion when we have more immediate problems. I'm way more likely to be killed by a "dreamer" that the Obama regime invited into the country then a member of IS. That's a fact. N. Korea and Iran are not usually described as rational actors. In the case of Iran they actually are as attracted to death as IS or AQ. They have demonstrated this in spades, particularly in the Iran vs. Iraq war. AQ's attacks on 9-11 did accomplish a lot of their goals from what I have read. They wanted us to invade and occupy Afghanistan knowing that the locals would fight us until we leave. They were guests in the country they weren't actually running it. We should keep a very close eye on them an do what we can to speed up their downfall. It's important to remember that in modern warfare the mind is one of the primary battlefields. Both IS and the US government are trying to shape how people see the situation. Not everything either side is putting out is true. I think IS doesn't want the US intervening and preventing them from taking Iraq or holding the territory they have now. Convincing the American public that air strikes or any intervention will result in another 9-11 seems to be their plan. Just my impression of the situation. |
