CIA Warns Barack Obama that British Terrorists Are The Biggest Threat To The US

The CIA has told President Barack Obama that British terrorists are the biggest threat to the US

From The Telegraph:


Barack Obama has been warned by the CIA that British Islamist extremists are the greatest threat to US homeland security.

American spy chiefs have told the President that the CIA has launched a vast spying operation in the UK to prevent a repeat of the 9/11 attacks being launched from Britain.

They believe that a British-born Pakistani extremist entering the US under the visa waiver programme is the most likely source of another terrorist spectacular on American soil.

Intelligence briefings for Mr Obama have detailed a dramatic escalation in American espionage in Britain, where the CIA has recruited record numbers of informants in the Pakistani community to monitor the 2,000 terrorist suspects identified by MI5, the British security service.

A British intelligence source revealed that a staggering four out of 10 CIA operations designed to thwart direct attacks on the US are now conducted against targets in Britain.

My Comment: First .... I am surprise to see that The Telegraph identified the religious group that poses the greatest terror threat to the U.S..

Other European countries have been protesting for years that Britain's policy towards these terror groups and the preachers who spread hate was short-sighted and dangerous at best. Providing welfare, housing, and "almost" immunity from prosecution has fermented a growing and dangerous group of militants who are bent on mass murder. Even the bus/subway bombings of 7/7 is not enough to change this policy.

From my point of view .... the solution is simple. Revoke the citizenship and deport those who spread hate. Put a handle on the insane policies of providing tens of thousands of pounds in welfare to the individuals who only work in the spreading of the hate. Extradite those who are wanted for terrorism in other countries.

The alternative would be a disaster for both countries.
