Former DHS secretary says ISIL could attack US
...“At some point, particularly as we begin to put pressure on ISIS (or
ISIL), they’re going to feel the need to respond for two reasons: try to
intimidate us to draw back but also to show us their adherence that
they are capable of giving as well as getting,”...

Oh,the battle field so nicely explained and set !And Oh! They -the NWO- are really targeting Biiig this time !Bigger than 9/11 .The biggest target ever, an actual civil -like , but not exactly so , filthy war within US itself! And all the countries cooperating with US in the battle against ISIS/ISIL presently , to be inevitably , unavoidably, definitely and irrevocably , finally engaged.
While in the same time, agitation is rising with the 'umbrella revolution' in Hong Kong , with Taiwan and Macao closely watching and with

CNN and BBC more than eager to telecast the riots live on air. When they are so eager we have to think twice.Not to mention the US President's latest stated policy projects about the 'jump' to the East and the war-industrialists' bliss , with the 22 billion$ business per year.Would they care about the deployed ground troops life or death ? No, they wouldn't!
Because to them we are but 'expendables' , all of us.
Nevertheless China , as much as Russia did, has to embark upon her new ''21st century and BRICS" role and raise to the level of the new contemporary needs and requisites.And then again this is easy to say and write, but immensely, insurmountably difficult -for a plethora of reasons -for such a huge and historic nation to do. And yet again , as Ben. Fullford has put it , we have ( and they , the Chinese themselves have) "to make sure we do not trade Fed tyranny for Chinese tyranny. .." We all have to be very careful!

Former
secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff says
the ISIL terrorist group could strike the United States in retaliation
to the Pentagon’s bombings.
“Whether carry out that threat by sending fighters back who they’ve
trained, or whether they try to inspire lone wolves, or whether they
simply captivate potential recruits and they go out on their own to
carry out attacks, I think all of those are possibilities,” he told The
Hill.The Pentagon launched airstrikes against ISIL targets in Iraq last month and a US-led coalition began military campaign against the group in Syria earlier this month.
Chertoff also said the group would respond to the US military’s attacks.
“At some point, particularly as we begin to put pressure on ISIS (or ISIL), they’re going to feel the need to respond for two reasons: try to intimidate us to draw back but also to show us their adherence that they are capable of giving as well as getting,” Chertoff said.
In a press conference on Monday, US Air Force Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian, Air Force assistant deputy chief of staff for operations, said the ISIL terrorists are adjusting to the airstrikes and make it more difficult to target them.
Meanwhile, a new report by a Washington-based think tank predicts the US war against ISIL may cost up to $22 billion annually.
If airstrikes against ISIL continue at the current level and 2,000 ground combat troops are deployed to Iraq, military operations could cost between $200 and $320 million per month, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) estimated.
If the US air campaign intensifies and 5,000 troops are put on the ground, the operation will cost between $350 million and $570 million per month for US taxpayers, the CSBA said.
However, the think tank estimated that if airstrikes are expanded substantially and 25,000 US ground troops are deployed, the military campaign may cost between $1.1 and $1.8 billion per month.
