DNI Clapper on Hill today: ISIS will attack US;
refugee flow infiltrated, by Ann Corcoran 2/9/16, No surprise, but good to hear that wiser heads seem to be
prevailing in Washington. Here
is the hot news today, from CNN:
Washington (CNN) Top U.S. intelligence
officials 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.
ISIS “will
probably attempt to conduct additional attacks in Europe, and attempt to direct
attacks on the U.S. homeland in 2016,” Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, director of the
Defense Intelligence Agency, testified on Capitol Hill Tuesday.
“Refugee” men
in Hungary. Clapper says ISIS is among them (gee! big surprise!).
Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper, who was also at the Senate Armed Services
Committee hearing, 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.”
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.”
Syrians trickling in
so far!
As we reported the other day, the Syrian flow into the US is going
extremely slowly and I’m guessing there are some in Washington who are trying
to keep America safe. At the present rate, there is no way Obama will get
10,000 Syrians in here by the end of this fiscal year on September 30th.
(Unless those UPS flights are for real!).
