“If America attacks Iraq every American embassy in the world will be exposed and attacked with car bombs.” “If the United States bomb Iraq, every American citizen is a legitimate target.” Jihad Watch posted these threats on June 27. The U.S. government appears to have caught up nine days later.
“Isis threaten to plant bombs at ‘every American embassy,'” by Scott Campbell, Sunday Express, July 6, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):
All 294 US diplomatic outposts are on high alert after the terror threats were posted online by rebels.
One ISIS post said: “If America attacks Iraq every American embassy in the world will be exposed and attacked with car bombs.”
Another vowed: “If the United States bomb Iraq, every American citizen is a legitimate target.”
The terrorists said that companies in Arab countries employing US citizens would also be targeted, after threatening to “slaughter” US doctors around the world. The messages came amid a US government fightback on Twitter against ISIS militants who urged followers to tweet threats.
The @ansaar999 account, which appears to have links with the rebel group, tweeted its 23,400 followers, telling them to post anti-US messages in English.
The messages, sent to politicians and celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, contained images of dead US soldiers, the 9/11 attacks and masked ISIS fighters.
The US joined the war of words on the Think Again Turn Away account, which is used to respond to critics in the Middle East.

The last time around, State was headed by Hill, our next president, with Huma Abedin as her chief aide, bringing along her deep familial ties to the Mo-Bro-Hood.
That ended in letting 35 for dead in the face of Sunni aggression, but thanks to two ex-SEALS only four were murdered, with the ambassador anally gang raped for his trouble.
Now, the credentials of State are brought to bear by John, a failed presidential candidate, and more importantly a known war coward. But at least he’s a gigolo, which is more than the thick ankled Hill can say.

So, on the one hand, Islam is a peaceful religion occasionally hijacked by extremists…
But on the other hand, those extremists are so prevalent as to pose a threat to every diplomatic post on the planet.
Head-scratching to say the least.

Here’s the horrible potential we Americans are faced while being internally conflicted by this asinine Obama situation with yachtsman Kerry at the helm at the State Department.
Think of the individual employees stationed at each of these 294 diplomatic outposts Worldwide as potential hostages. Especially those in Muslim controlled countries from Morocco to Indonesia and the Southern Philippines. Majority-“Moderate” Muslims among them? Are you kidding? All it takes is a few suicide bombers. A few more Benghazi’s? ….or…. lots more Benghazi’s? Are all of these stations/embassies islands of security? Protected and walled-in as at Baghdad?
Talk about a colossal Whack-a-Mole of a rescue situation!
Are they all to be evacuated a’la that Air America chopper on the top of the Pittman building in Saigon in 1975?
All of our high-tech, cyber this-and-that, laser-this-and-that, sophisticated aircraft placed here and there, ICBM’s, Nuclear devices of all kinds of all-imaginative designs, U.S.Naval ships at sea, can’t be available everywhere during a coordinated Muslim attack. Think of the intricate coordination and closely detailed planning all so successfully worked out on that September morning over here in 2001.
Now, wrap your heads around the idea just who our Commander In Chief is at present, and who is our august Sec’y of State.
We’re in one helluva mess. There’s no hiding of glossing over the reality of the threats posed by our Muslim enemy.

In response to Carol.
According to “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man”, it’s a book, after the oil embargo under the Carter presidentcy, American corporations heavily invested in Saudi Arabia. In fact they bought or bribed Saudi Arabia to end the oil embargo. In order to protect their investments in Saudi Arabia the “Corporate press” tells everybody to believe that Islam is a religion of peace, if America were to change its policy to understanding Islam as a violent religion and boycotted oil from Saudi Arabia American Corporations would stand to lose billions of $
Corporations don’t give a rats ass about lives they only care about profits, the only time corporations care about lives, if they lose board members to terrorism.

True. But, we have a government.
Alice says
Gee, nice of him to expose us all to his cohorts.
Karen says
We will be able to deal with our problem only when we are ready to identify, name and stop appeasing the enemies.

Michigan: Federal judge quashes Hamas-linked CAIR subpoenas harassing opponents of mosque
Jul 05, 2014 05:05 am | Robert Spencer
The thugs at the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) suffer another setback. They will, however, never give up in their quest to destroy every American who stands between them and their goals. They relentlessly smear every foe of jihad terror and unapologetically attempt to intimidate Americans into thinking that there is something wrong with […]
