... and we still don't take them seriously. We assume that their actions will magically remain confined to the Mideast, despite the fact that Al Qaeda's didn't, and despite the fact that many of the ISIS combatants came there from Western countries. This is a triumph of wishful thinking over reason, with Obama -- asleep at the helm and possibly an outright traitor -- leading the inaction.
Yes. The bastards might try to pull off an all-out catastrophe on 9/11/2014, a terrifying possibility.
In the meantime, I get constantly lectured by various people that I'm paranoid; that ISIS (or whatever they call themselves now) only has "a few thousand members" and is therefore incapable of pulling off a major terrorist attack; that very few of them could slip into this country over the USA/Mexico border, hence not nearly enough of them could to do us any damage; etc. etc. ad nauseam. I've pointed out to them again and again how porous our borders are now; that two or a few men could drive a truck painted to look like a Safeway truck or something of the kind from Mexico into the states, park it near or next to the place they want to target, set a timer, and walk away -- the H-bomb or radioogically dirty bomb in the truck going off after they are well away from the area; that there are one hell of a lot of sympathizers who think that ISIS is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and will do everything they can to help ISIS
