Oops! Republicans Get Egg on Their Faces

[Juan de Fuca]

It appears right wingers foaming over a non-existent ISIS connection are going to have to walk back their screeching. Maybe they can take a lesson from John McCain, but then, it didn't do him any good either.

John Brennan told the Senate intelligence committee Thursday that CIA has no evidence of a connection between Omar Mateen and the Islamic State.

The Central Intelligence Agency chief has not been “able to uncover any link” between Orlando killer Omar Mateen and the Islamic State, despite Mateen’s stated allegiance to the jihadist group during Sunday’s LGBT nightclub massacre.


Reinforcing four days of internal government assessments across multiple agencies and a Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry, the CIA director, John Brennan, contrasted “lone wolf” killers in Orlando and San Bernardino last December with recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, which he told the Senate intelligence committee were “directed” by Isis leadership in Syria and Iraq.

Brennan described a spread-bet strategy by Isis as it loses territory in Iraq and Syria. The group’s “terrorist capacity or global reach” remain undiminished by US-led advances on Isis-held cities like Manbij and Fallujah, the latest developments in a war nearing its third year, and Brennan said the US should expect Isis to launch accelerating terrorist attacks worldwide, a reversion to its pre-2014 status quo.

“As the pressure mounts on Isil, we judge that it will intensify its global terror campaign to maintain its dominance of the global terrorism agenda,” Brennan said, using the administration’s preferred acronym for Isis.

But Brennan indicated that the shape of those attacks will vary. Isis is consolidating and “interconnecting” its foreign branches, he said, particularly its “most dangerous” branch in Libya, and also placing operatives in western countries, chiefly in Europe. It will also “inspire attacks by sympathizers with no ties to the group”, which Brennan said taxes security agencies’ ability to notice ahead of an attack.

Walk what back,that he was influenced by their propaganda ,who knows who he had been in contact with.

There is nothing to walk back .

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

He may not have a definitive connection to them, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest he was influenced by their propaganda

The CIA told Senate Intelligence that the agency saw no connection between the shooter and ISIS. I know that must be hard to deal with, but those are the facts reported today.

if that is true thank God we were able to at least ask some questions about what was the relationship between his islamic religion and his acts. Thank you for providing some evidence saying otherwise. I'm sure Obama was well pleased with what was reported.

No one believes that because the government is lying.

Maybe. Personally I think its the story he concocted to keep his father from knowing his sexual proclivities. For now, that's the story told by the CIA.

We have an epic tragedy and the shooter took time on facebook to explain that he was a jihadist terrorist ....and the left spends time fantasizing about republicans with "egg on their faces". What a pathetic bunch.

I know egg is hard to get off when it dries. That's the story as reported by the Republican head of the CIA. When it changes, I'm sure you will be the first to let me know.

I know you think that political party allegiances are stronger than one's allegiance to anything else (it is typical fascist mentality) but most people don't care about their political party whatsoever. I'm sure this republican answers to Obama and he wants to keep his job.

Why would that be hard to deal with? Even during the massacre he was on Facebook posting shit about ISIS. So, if he was in contact with ISIS or not recently it does not make his Islamic Terror action less horrifying to the victims. He visited the Middle East twice...

What I posted was the esteemed analysis of the CIA Director Before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Now you can call him an idiot, but you would look pretty silly doing so. This is where the case stands, and you have egg all over your face for insisting it was something else.

You are trolling. There was no substance to your posts beside trying to antagonize people with the "egg on their faces" and shit like that provoking anger and you fared quite miserably with it. Thanks for playing.

They guy was a bouillabaisse of psychopathologies........I don't think he needed anyone to "influence" him.....

Insisting that he did seems to play into the hands of ISIS...

If the egg fits wear it. I didn't scream that he was associated with ISIS it was RWNJ's hoping to create a message. Now, you have been thoroughly debunked by the CIA Director no less. So live with your creation, the rest of us laugh at you.

It appears to me that since the shooter was a gay muslim DEMOCRAT, we need to institute a policy of LIBERAL CONTROL.....

Starting with outlawing firearm possession (or possession of anything else that can be used as a weapon) by the fruitcakes!!!
