Just like clockwork: CIA Director Warns of More ISIS-Inspired Attacks


CIA director John Brennan told the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday that his agency had not unearthed any new evidence of ISIS cooperation in the terrorist attack in Orlando on Sunday, but he warned that the group is likely to launch new attacks as the United States and its allies continue striking the group in Iraq and Syria.

Brennan painted a positive picture of the anti-ISIS campaign in the Middle East, saying the group is losing territory, fighters, and important sources of cash in the face of American airstrikes and battlefield advances by Iraqi forces and Syrian opposition groups. But Brennan also warned that gains against ISIS have not reduced the group's terrorism capability and global reach" and predicted that "ISIL will probably rely more on guerrilla tactics, including high-profile attacks outside territory it holds."

Of course there are going to be more Islamic attacks. Does anyone really think Orlando was the last one?
