ISIS Could Soon ‘Blow Up’ Major U.S. City



Although the White House believes that the Islamic States is not a threat to the U.S., it’s obvious that the increasingly large group of jihadists are confident they will fly their flag on American soil. In fact, the State Department has laughed off ISIS and ISIL warnings that they are at war with America, assuring that their violence is not directed at any particular country or race: “Well, they can say whatever they’d like, but what I am making clear is that’s not what ISIL represents. And they don’t represent any religion. 

They are at war with everybody they come into contact with,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf objected. One Senator is taking the threats seriously, warning that ISIS will attempt to carry out an attack on a major U.S. city: “We’re in the most dangerous position we’ve ever been in as a nation,” Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) told Fox 25′s Phil Cross. “ISIS, they are really bad terrorists, they’re so bad even Al Qaida is afraid of them,” Inhofe said reflecting on the recent beheading of American journalist James Foley. Beyond the beheading, Inhofe said the current terror organizations are not going to stay contained to the Middle East. 

“They’re crazy out there and they’re rapidly developing a method of blowing up a major U.S. city and people just can’t believe that’s happening.” Inhofe stresses the dangerous consequences that could follow Obama’s foreign policy decisions, inaction, and major military defense spending cuts that have left America so vulnerable towards instability in the Middle East. 

 “He’s [President Obama] going to have to come up with something that we’re going to do because they’re holding another hostage in place and the problem is, the President says all these things and he never does them,” Inhofe said. With ISIS possibly holding at least four other U.S. citizens hostage, Obama must act, or we will see more Foley-style beheadings. Inhofe concluded by saying he hopes mid-term elections will result in more Republicans in the Senate to restore funding to our military.
