Homeland Security Bulletin: Islamic State Can Attack U.S. Overseas With ‘Little to No Warning’

From The Blaze.com (Sept. 8):

The Department of Homeland Security and FBI have put out a joint intelligence bulletin to all federal law enforcement that the Islamic State has the capability to mount attacks on U.S. targets overseas with “little to no warning.”

While the bulletin, obtained by TheBlaze, states that the FBI and DHS are unaware of any “specific, credible threats” against the U.S. homeland, they urge law enforcement to be vigilant about social media postings by Islamic State supporters within the U.S. calling for attacks against America.

The warning was dated Aug. 22, less than a month shy of the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and as U.S. intelligence registered a spike in chatter from jihadi websites ahead of the anniversary.

The rise of the Islamic State — which shares Al Qaeda’s core beliefs — and its recruitment capability have come because of significant intelligence lapses in more than a decade of war, current and former U.S. officials told TheBlaze. The officials charge that the West was blindsided by the establishment of the Islamic State because the intelligence community lacked necessary human assets that would have helped expose the terror group before it could hit its stride.

Well, isn’t that nice. As for “little or no warning” what terrorist gives warnings? I mean there was no warning before the 9/11 attack. That’s why America has to stay vigilance. And defining these cockroaches as Jihadists ore even radical Muslims doesn’t help anything. You have to define evil and then deal with it. Evil doesn’t really care about political correctness. Calling them what they are doesn’t offend them. Being a Jew or a Christian is what offends them. Actually being anything but a fundamentalist Muslim is what offends them.
