RANDOM THOUGHT: USA Might Be Going Into War Like Actions OR War w/ ISIS - Obama's Special Address
"President Barack Obama on Sunday night will deliver a rare Oval Office address about terror threats in the aftermath of the San Bernardino, California, shootings that claimed 14 lives. CNN and other networks will broadcast it live at 8 p.m. ET.
The White House says the president will provide an update on the investigation. Federal authorities have said the attacks are being investigated as an act of terrorism.
"The President will also discuss the broader threat of terrorism, including the nature of the threat, how it has evolved, and how we will defeat it," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement. "He will reiterate his firm conviction that ISIL will be destroyed and that the United States must draw upon our values -- our unwavering commitment to justice, equality and freedom -- to prevail over terrorist groups that use violence to advance a destructive ideology."

Earlier in the day, President Obama said that "We will not be Terrorized" in a speech, given in a Saturday Morning Radio/Video Address:
According to CNN - the President had an internal briefing with his Security Advisers earlier this afternoon where more details of the San Bernardino attack was discussed. As media was not allowed to enter this meeting (as they should not be) they received "talking points" from the meeting, and not everything discussed.
Point of Note:
The LAST TIME President Obama called a Special Address from the White House Oval Office was Aug. 31, 2010 to announce End of U.S. combat operations in Iraq.
This would be the THIRD Special Address of President Obama from the Oval Office of his seven year term, with the first being June 15, 2010 - during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
This speech and Special Address from the Oval Office is coming after the largest lost of life in a targeted terrorist attack since 9/11 and the second largest lost of life in a gun related incident since Sandy Hook.

Just a thought -- could be totally wrong - but there is a belief, the President will give further details tomorrow of a furthering plot with ISIS or ISIS Supporter cells intent to launch more attacks on American soil.
With such, the upcoming days and the President Election in 2016 - will be very interesting. It is doubtful (highly) President Obama can or would sit on information likely shared with him on the San Bernardino Shooting Massacre along with other International events created by ISIS, DASEH or Al Qaeda and sit on it -- even if it means military troops are being called as this typing takes place, to duty on a mission(s).
