    From FOX:

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/29...ment-bulletin/

    Some 32 Twitter and Facebook posts monitored by law enforcement over one recent week reflected interest in the southern border, according to the bulletin.
    A(snip)...message sent out via Twitter suggested that Islamic State fighters have already entered the U.S. via the border, warning that, as a result, “Americans in for ruin (sic).”
    From Judicial Watch's own website:

    Intelligence officials have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to “carry out an attack on the border,” according to one JW source. “It’s coming very soon,” according to this high-level source, who clearly identified the groups planning the plots as “ISIS and Al Qaeda.”

    Of course the tactic ISIS should be using is to set up all this radio chatter and VBIEDs on the US/Mexico border and while everyone is focused on that, slip something much nastier through the Canadian/US border into a large East coast population center.

    That is what I would be worried about.

    I agree up to a point: but I was thinking more in terms of a cargo container that finds its way into San Francisco bay or something with a nuke on it.

    I'm also convinced that Malaysian airliner that disappeared may have actually landed somewhere to be refit for an attack like 9/11.

    Face it: our government is not doing nearly enough to secure the various ways that terrorists can get into the country.

    You're right: the crisis on the southern border may be a "feint" while the real attack comes elsewhere.

    Just because a person doesn't live near the southern border doesn't mean they don't have to be vigilant.

    I predict an old fashion middle eastern car bomb from these idiots or something bigger like Tim McVeigh size. I sure hope I'm wrong or people are paying attention to details and out of place purchases etc.

    I REALLY REALLY hate to say this, but I have a feeling that NOTHING will happen to prevent what is LIKELY to happen soon enough, which MAY THEN awaken the sleeping giant from its' stupor...

    Frankly, I live close enough to the El Paso/Juarez area that I'm afraid I might end up down wind from a dirty bomb.

    I am genuinely worried.

    Couple of points. First, I don't think it would be in the cartel's interest to help ISIS, because an attack that came across the border would force our Incompetent In Chief to put much more security on the border and that would hurt the cartels, at least for a while. Plus the Cartels are already rich, why take even a few million to help when you know that you'll have Special Ops and drones breathing down your neck. I don't think major Cartels will want that kind of heat.

    However, that doesn't mean that nobody in Mexico will help ISIS. Just not the Cartels. IMHO. I think the stories about Cartel/ISIS working together are bogus and intended to KEEP the Cartels FROM HELPING.

    It would be a perfect opportunity for the Cartels to buy some chips with the CIA and FBI. Turn in the ISIS bad guys. - OR - Just stay out of it all together.

    Second, an ISIS attack does not need to be large. In fact, I believe that smaller attacks in urban or suburban areas would cause more terror than a one big one. Pulling off small attacks is easier, and could be done on a wider scale, look how much trouble the Boston bomber created. Every sports venue had to up security etc.

    The other thing that worries me is that ISIS members coming over the border would have no record in the US, no one would know anything about them. No one would be able to recognize them and they would have no family. So if they moved around it is not like someone would report them missing.

    Well folks school is back in session this week, High School football with packed stadiums start TONIGHT, tomorrow the same for NCAA ball. Soft targets abound . . .

    Watch you six and I'd stay clear from large gatherings, YMMV.

    I think your overestimating the cartels ability to look ahead and consider anything more than a dollar bill. These are people who spend their money on 24k desert eagles and white tigers. They give zero humps for drones or special ops. They would go to war with Godzilla...yay- and a ak makes you brave.

    I personally don't trust anything the mainstream media puts out.

    Sounds like the usual fear mongering to me.
