A group representing U.S. special forces warned in a letter this week that the U.S. faces an ultra-high threat of getting hit by a major Islamic terrorist attack because of President Joe Biden’s disastrous foreign policy and open border policies.
Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) Chairman Christopher Miller, who served as Acting Secretary of Defense at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term in office, said in a letter that the organization was “gravely concerned by the current heightened risk of terrorist attacks against targets inside the United States and both U.S. and allied interests abroad.”
The organization — which represents thousands of Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Raiders, Air Force Air Commandos, and other special operators — said that Biden’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan was a key reason why the threat environment was so high.
Biden’s pullout left the U.S. “without a viable stay-behind or over-the-horizon counterterrorism and intelligence capability to suppress threats,” which has resulted in Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda being able to rapidly regain strength in the region.
“The United States has lost significant intelligence collection capabilities in the region, leaving federal authorities blind and deaf to emerging threats emanating from the region,” the letter said. “The creation of new and reestablishment of previous terrorist training camps within Afghanistan has led to successful, deadly attacks by the Islamic State’s regional branch against targets in Iran and Russia and elsewhere, adding further credence to the notion that the U.S. is at risk.”
“This risk is compounded by developments in the Middle East and the porous, unsecured southern border through which we have seen numerous instances of individuals on terrorist watchlists and others from adversarial countries attempt to enter the U.S. – and those are the ones we know about only because they were detected,” the letter added. “We do not know how many other terrorists are already currently inside the U.S.”

Numerous federal departments and agencies have echoed similar statements about the threats that the U.S. currently faces.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified last year that foreign terrorists were trying to exploit Biden’s open border policies to carry out attacks on the U.S.
When asked if it was a similar situation to what the U.S. faced before the 9/11 attacks where officials said that they saw “blinking red lights” that something was about to happen, Wray responded: “I see blinking lights everywhere I turn.”
