“The FBI has warned local authorities of a threat that Islamic State militants would blow up the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge spanning the Mississippi River, an agency spokesman said on Tuesday.” The threat seems to be unspecified, unsubstantiated, and anonymous. However, this is just the type of attack we should be expecting from ISIS in the United States.
What bothers me is the lack of general coverage on the event in the mainstream media. According to the threat, ISIS has activated sleeper cells in the United States to attack soft targets. The threat was reported to Fox13 in Memphis, but no information on how the threat was received was given. The infrastructure in question is the Memphis-Arkansas bridge that is a major route connecting Tennessee and Arkansas.
You really are sleeping if you think sleeper cells don't exist in America.
Here we go again...sleeper cells.
OK...whatever.

You can think Reagan for introducing your little brains to economic warfare and Bush, once again, for foresight (or luck) that you could never have dreamed of having.
The words "Bush" and "foresight" are mutually exclusive.

The only one backing up the op is the op, and you're working damn hard at supporting your own idiocy. THAT is the definition of ignorant.
What "glitch?"
Well, at least you came close in the part i bolded.

But I don't doubt for a second that of we back off, ISIS will rise again.
Ok. If you say so. Doubt it though.

You did.
How do you know they aren't a group that uses idle threats?
It comes from their own mouths.......yeah here we go again, from the mouth of terrorist.
Sorry to disappoint you. but this was not a Conservative talking point! Foolish to think only NICE people live in America.
Islamic State had previously seemed focused on proclaiming a caliphate in the parts of Iraq and Syria it controls, marching on Baghdad and redrawing the map of the Middle East.
But in several telephone conversations with a Reuters reporter over the past few months, Islamic State fighters had indicated that their leader, Iraqi Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had several surprises in store for the West.
They hinted that attacks on American interests or even U.S. soil were possible through sleeper cells in Europe and the United States.
"The West are idiots and fools. They think we are waiting for them to give us visas to go and attack them or that we will attack with our beards or even Islamic outfits," said one.
"They think they can distinguish us these days - they are fools, and, more than that, they don't know we can play their game in intelligence. They infiltrated us with those who pretend to be Muslims and we have also penetrated them with those who look like them."
Doesn't seem as if that big bad boogeyman was all that bad, does it? 5 months ago, they were all the rage...the supposed new Islamic Empire coming to get us all.
And let's not forget for a minute how worked up and apoplectic many Americans were about ISIS..they were gonna conquer the whole Middle East if we didn't go over there and stop them. Then they'd turn their guns on the United States of America, storm our shores, rape and pillage all of our towns, and convert those of us that they didn't manage to decapitate into Muslims.
Guess not, huh?
You are perfectly safe in Detroit, even ISIS won't go near that place..

Really?
So i should travel over 2 thousand miles to Detroit in order to be safe? Why would i do that when i'm safe here?
Plus, i thought all of you in the wackjob community said that Detroit is extra dangerous with its tremendous Arab population...the largest outside of the Arab world?
You know..sleeper cells and 9/11 sympathizers not withstanding...SMH
There's a reason people like the op are on my ignore list. They contribute nothing to this forum but hate and vitriol (not to mention a healthy dose of lunatic fringe hypocrisy).

You are absolutely correct in your assessment of the OP, I should probably follow suit, but it's so much fun to play with him/her just to see how far and how outrageous he/she goes.. He/she knows no bounds...
Calls him/herself Detroit but lives 2000 miles away? Fun whacky stuff...
