A Tom Clancy Scenario

Capt. Dan Gordon is on an Israeli Defense Force sniper team and has been involved in six wars. His most terrifying experience was the most recent one he says with heavily-armed Hamas' fighters popping up out of the ground from major tunnels like Day of the Dead. Because Israel had major anti-terror military units living in these areas with air cover on demand, they were able to turn back the threat, but he said it was a close thing and could have been catastrophic. He now says it could be coming to a U.S. city near you.

Gordon says it is suicide to underestimate your enemy and he is very concerned that we are doing just that. He correctly points out that ISIS has undoubtedly carefully studied what Hamas did and may even now be planning an attack using it along our relatively undefended Southern border. They don't have to build the tunnels - they can just rent them from the cartels. Imagine them assembling 1,000 fighters with heavy automatic weapons, grenades, RPGs, etc. emerging from multiple tunnels all over the U.S. side of the border simultaneously. The California State Police and San Diego Police Department would not be much of a challenge to them. In San Diego we have innumerable major targets like the home of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the SEAL base at Coronado, or if on a Sunday, a major sporting event like an NFL football game. As Gordon says, the harm they could do and therefore the "credibility" they could gain would be enormous.

Gordon thinks we are snoring soundly and ignoring this potentially huge threat. I think he's probably right. We totally missed 9/11 and out of PC and dodging the bullet literally since then, we seem to have dozed off. Certainly the Southern border is a joke with many people seriously arguing that it's just a line on a map and spending about that much time and money defending it. Time will tell, but if he is right, some of our worst days as a nation are ahead. These guys aren't kidding.
