CBS News says "Terrorists are selected and in place"

[PaleoPaul]

That's exactly what this is - there hasn't been this obvious a "wag the dog" incident since Monica Lewinsky was breaking news.

Yes.

I mean, this is so conveniently timed. With more news about the IRS and Benghazi leaking, Obama can't stay in trouble for too long.

Did CBS say why only US Midesat/Tel Aviv/NA Embassies are shutdown and why on Sunday? Or confirmd if Franks/Sherman Bill to move US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is cause of this threat alert?

OPEC probably threatened the petrodollar if we don't leave.

The terror threat prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two dozen embassies and consulates Sunday is the most specific, credible threat information in years, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports.

So then their fabled 54 thwarted threats that the NSA "helped uncover" weren't credible after all.

Still waiting for them to make up those 54 stories.

Yet, anyone can walk right into a Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Argentine, Philippino, ...etc, embassies with no problems.

what does that tell you about the U.S. government around the world?


Let's hear it you political lying tool Rudy Giuliani!~ "The hate U.S. for our freedoms!"

...or could it possibly be this?

Interesting.
I had suspected that they were planing to kick something off. Something that will piss off the entire ME.

... fun times with false flags..

I know who selected them, the Mossad did. The NSA is in hot water and needs to scare people to accept their surveillance of everyone. This is pure BS and if an attack does occur, odds are the NSA/CIA/Mossad has something to do with it.

If I was in the White House and reading that headline, I'm thinking something would be pee stained.

Really!

Did you hear about all of the ones they supposedly stopped? I'll bet that set the ■■■'s plans back considerably!

State Dept appears much less concerned than the media does.

Given that a number of our embassies and consulates were going to be closed in accordance with local custom and practice for the bulk of the week for the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan, and out of an abundance of caution, we've decided to extend the closure of several embassies and consulates including a small number of additional posts.

This is not an indication of a new threat stream, merely an indication of our commitment to exercise caution and take appropriate steps to protect our employees including local employees and visitors to our facilities.

Posts in Abu Dhabi, Amman, Cairo, Riyadh, Dhahran, Jeddah, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Manama, Muscat, Sanaa, Tripoli, Antanarivo, Bujumbura, Djibouti, Khartoum, Kigali, and Port Louis are instructed to close for normal operations Monday, August 5 through Saturday, August 10.

The following posts that are normally open on Sunday, but were closed on Sunday, August 4, are authorized to reopen for normal operations on August 5: Dhaka, Algiers, Nouakchott, Kabul, Herat, Mazar el Sharif, Baghdad, Basrah, and Erbil.

They only need to make up one now, if that.

The Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday heard dramatic testimony from NSA deputy director John C. Inglis. According to the Guardian:

“The NSA has previously claimed that 54 terrorist plots had been disrupted ‘over the lifetime’ of the bulk phone records collection and the separate program collecting the internet habits and communications of people believed to be non-Americans. On Wednesday, Inglis said that at most one plot might have been disrupted by the bulk phone records collection alone.”

From dozens to “at most one”?
