Good to know. I would have sworn ISIS was more ambitious than that, but perhaps their strategy is focused on getting a geographic stronghold and then going from there. Maybe The West per se is not as important to them as the Pentagon would generally like us to believe (at budget time).
The United States’ senior counterterrorism official said on Wednesday that there is “no credible information” that the militants of the Islamic State, who have reigned terror on Iraq and Syria, are planning to attack the U.S. homeland.

That assessment by National Counterterrorism Center Director Matthew Olsen stands in sharp contrast to dire warnings from other top Obama administration officials, who depict the group formerly known as ISIS or ISIL as the greatest threat to America since al Qaeda before it struck U.S. soil on Sept. 11, 2001.

No real need to attack the US mainland – just waving the IS flag around causes our politicians to wet the bed and keep spending tons of money to bankrupt us.

And no politician wants to have an ad ran against them saying “soft on terror” – the same crap that happens on “soft on crime” so we have so many max sentences & a ton of money to buy military crime crap for police departments to kill someone just walking down the street

I am going to continue my efforts to interview TriCk, the former member of Anonymous who executed James Foley. I used to talk to him all the time. We shall see.
