The tone in Washington has changed over the Islamic terror group ISIS and whether it poses a threat to America. Earlier this month the White House deemed that ISIS was not a threat to Americans according to Washington Times. Just two weeks ago Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken told CNN's Jake Tapper "Right now, their focus is not on attacking the U.S. homeland or attacking our interests here in the United States or abroad."
Tell that to James Foley's parents after they had to witness the horrifying reality of seeing their son beheaded by ISIS with the message "we will drown all of you in blood."
ISIS has made these threats before, "we will see you in New York, " the leader said, "We will raise the flag of Allah in the White House," is another previous assertion from the group and more recently, photos of a supported standing right outside the White House, holding a cell phone with the flag of Jihad showing, with a statement "We are here America, so near our target, soon."

After the Islamic State army in June swept out of Syria into northern Iraq and took the large city of Mosul and then moved south toward Baghdad, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had a new perspective.
“Make no mistake, and this country should not make any mistake on this, nor anyone in Congress — ISIL may not appear to be an imminent threat to the United States,” he said. “It is a threat to the United States. It is a threat, a clear threat to our partners in that area, and it is imminent.”
On Thursday a US Intelligence official said "I would tell you ISIL has had a longstanding, overt interest in killing Americans." This is something the US government has known as had anyone that had seen the previous threats made against America by ISIS, yet Obama and his official directly lied about that threat, until Hagel finally spilled the beans that they are a threat to America, and yes, it is an imminent threat.
In fact, from the same Washington Times piece, we see the following statement "The U.S. government believes some Americans have joined the Islamic State and, programmed to conduct suicide bombings, will pose risks upon their return. "
That is what you call an "imminent threat" posed to the United States of America.
In the Prison Planet video below, we see exactly who created ISIS and funded them. ISIS is simply the body of the snake, perhaps we should be going after the head of the snake.
