#1 God + Madonna beg to differ.

* See BIGNEWSNETWORK > US INTELLIGENCE WARNS ISLAMIC STATE IS MOVING OUTSIDE OF IRAQ, SYRIA TO EXPAND ITS TERRITORIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

* IIRC CNN WOLF BLITZER'S SITUATION ROOM = Blitzer interviews top US Politico whom believes the ISIS may now desire to begin expanding or moving "beyond its aspirations" in the ME, + could poten decide to attack the USA directly.

VERSUS

* CNN NEWS > NORTH KOREA ISSUES NEW THREATS TO US BASES, i.e. threatens to strike wid LRBMS at "imperialist aggressor" US Milbases throughout East Asia-Pacific e.g. GUAM + HAWAII + CONUS.

#2 Rice is the 'existential' threat. Her defiant tone and cheeky attitude exudes arrogance.

#3 Ah, it's the one whose parents could spell.

If you keep fiddling while the world burns at the distance, it will be brought home soon enough.

#7 Only a fool waits until the threat is 'existential' to deal with it. But then, that pretty much defines Obama's little entourage.

#8 Se defines the administrations courage. I'm hiding on this side of the world and for now I'm safe. We have sheep as leaders. The Nazis were no existential threat to the US, as crystal night happened. Same game, different people.

#9 As far as Rice goes, she's not alone. If you had a hunch the news sytem was rigged and you couldn't quite put your finger on it, this might help solve the puzzle:

ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to yes, Sunday Talk Show regular and National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.

ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Whitehouse Press Secretary the odious Jay Carney

ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary.

ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood

CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.

And now you know why it is no surprise the media is in Obama's pocket. Ya think there might be a little bias in the news ???

It also explains the cover up of Benghazi and a great many other things that go under-reported or un-reported.

#10 "Obama's little entourage" is inaccurately named. Obama's supporters are a large number of our inaccurately-labeled "Best and Brightest". the B&B are neither are best nor our brightes, but they surely believe they are. These fellow travelers of the Obamagenda are the existential threats to the USA. They have captured the allegiance of the USA's Free Lunch Army (for the time being).

#11 We are not at war with radical existentialists.

#12 Has she met Obama? He's the biggest 'existential' threat to America in the world.

#13 IsIs is an annoyance but a green ringed with pot bunkers is an existential threat worse than a broken bicycle chain.

#14 The administration people are shameless. Could you get caught in a lie, like Rice did, and go in front of an audience again?

#15 All the existential threats to the US are in the White House.

#16 I protest WH staff certainly are not an existential threat. They are a clear and present danger.

#17 On Existential Threats by Nat Security Team

I sit in a cafe, wear a beret and posit that life is absurd.
Since existence is futile, I may as well compile all the dumb shit I have heard.
Sartre was right, there is no guiding light and men are no better than turds.
So if ISIS still threatens, whilst global warming beckons, we will just fight them with words!
We wanker's won't fight to hold back the night, we just give you what you all deserve.
