O’Reilly: ‘Just a Matter of Time’ Before ISIS Attack ‘Happens Here’

‘There is little will to do what is necessary — confronting the ISIS fighters where they are and killing them’

O'REILLY: "Well, that’s good because ISIS is a threat to every single American. Somebody tell President Obama. It is almost beyond belief that these militant jihadists have been allowed to accumulate power. The group should have been confronted a long time ago, but America and NATO do not have the will to protect their populations. It’s a lot like al Qaeda before the 9/11 attack. Back then, U.S. intelligence knew al Qaeda was growing in strength and training people in Afghanistan for terrorist missions. We knew that.  We did little. Now ISIS is growing in power, threatening a half dozen countries and encouraging violence all over the world on social media. So it’s just a matter of time before ISIS-driven violence happens here. Good police work prevented that in Boston, a city very vigilant since the Boston Marathon terror attack. But the cops can’t stop everyone and believe me, ISIS fanatics are infiltrating into this country.  And troubled people already here, like the group in Boston, are heeding the call of the jihad. Meantime, President Obama still does not have a strategy to defeat ISIS in Syria where it is based or in Iraq where it is causing an enormous amount of trouble. This week the bogus 60-nation coalition met in France to discuss what to do. As of this evening, those discussions have produced nothing. Again, there is little will to do what is necessary — confronting the ISIS fighters where they are and killing them. Bombing is not going to do it.  We’ve tried that for nearly a year and ISIS continues to gain power. So three cheers for the FBI and the Boston police, which put an end to a murderous plot. But three jeers to the Western nations that continue to dither over the terror threat. And a jeer to CNN for challenging Ms. Geller in a totally inappropriate way. She was a target and that should have been the headline. And that’s the memo."
