STILL MORE CONCERN – AT 9:16 A.M. ET: Airliners at Christmas aren't the only thing our security people are worried about. ISIS is believed to be targeting American military personnel within the United States. From ABC:
The FBI on Sunday issued the strongest warning to date about possible attacks by the ISIS terrorist group against the U.S. military inside the homeland, officials tell ABC News.
In a joint intelligence bulletin issued overnight by the FBI with the Department of Homeland Security, officials strongly urged those who serve in uniform to scrub their social media accounts of anything that might bring unwanted attention from "violent extremists" or would help the extremists learn individual service members' identities.
"The FBI and DHS recommend that current and former members of the military review their online social media accounts for any information that might serve to attract the attention of ISIL [ISIS] and its supporters," the federal bulletin sent to law enforcement agencies said, advising that troops "routinely exercise operational security in their interactions online."
Officials said they fear copycat attacks based on what happened in Canada last month, when two uniformed Canadian soldiers were killed in two separate incidents by young men who claimed they were ISIS followers.
COMMENT: Americans must be reintroduced to the notion of the long struggle, like the Cold War. President Kennedy used the term "twilight struggle." Neither peace nor all-out war. During the Obama years we've only been introduced to the notion of confusion.
Let us not forget that this administration still lists the terror attack on American soldiers by an Islamist at Fort Hood as "workplace violence." Do people know they're lying?
