You can put away your guns -- White House says we're safe

Last year the president termed ISIS “al Qaeda JV.” Two days ago, he said we had “contained” ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Today, the White House decided ISIS “lacks capability” of attacking the U.S.

“Antalya, Turkey (CNN) President Barack Obama's national security team is sending a message Sunday that might lend at least a glimmer of reassurance to Americans traumatized by the terror attacks in Paris.

“Saying that while the ISIS ambition is certainly there to launch similar attacks on U.S. shores, the capability is not great.

“Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters that one big difference between the situation in Europe and that in the U.S. is that ‘thousands’ of fighters have traveled to Syria and then returned to Europe. That number being tracked in America is far smaller-- around 40, according to the Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper earlier this year.”

Also, Rhodes told Jake Tapper we are safe because the US will do deep background vetting on all Syrian/other refugees fleeing ISIS. Rest assured, no one who is not really, really, really a war refugee will get past our security.

In the feelings department, the White House might consider hiring a couple of counselors to care for “Americans traumatized by the terror attacks in Paris.” Or make hot chocolate available for everyone.
