The Khorosan Group Does Not Exist -- Andrew C. McCarthy, NRO

It’s a fictitious name the Obama administration invented to deceive us.

We’re being had. Again.

For six years, President Obama has endeavored to will the country into accepting two pillars of his alternative national-security reality. First, he claims to have dealt decisively with the terrorist threat, rendering it a disparate series of ragtag jayvees. Second, he asserts that the threat is unrelated to Islam, which is innately peaceful, moderate, and opposed to the wanton “violent extremists” who purport to act in its name.

Now, the president has been compelled to act against a jihad that has neither ended nor been “decimated.” The jihad, in fact, has inevitably intensified under his counterfactual worldview, which holds that empowering Islamic supremacists is the path to security and stability. Yet even as war intensifies in Iraq and Syria — even as jihadists continue advancing, continue killing and capturing hapless opposition forces on the ground despite Obama’s futile air raids — the president won’t let go of the charade.

Hence, Obama gives us the Khorosan Group.

The who?

My Comment: I have been doing this blog for a number of years .... and I have been covering/studying/analyzing terror groups and their operations for just as long. I use multiple sources to obtain my information .... and I am always alert to when a new organization "pops - up". Case in point .... the Islamic State/ISIS/ISIL is a group that I have been following for years .... that is why I am not surprised to see their success. As to the Khorasan Group .... a group that is suppose to be incredibly dangerous (if not the most dangerous) .... I only learned about them a few weeks ago. I must admit that this has been bothering me for the past two weeks. I am on top of these things .... not knowing about the existence of the most dangerous terror group in the world who are planning an imminent attack is something that I have trouble reconciling with. I know my stuff .... or so I thought.

I used the search engine for this blog ("War News Search" on the top left hand of this page) to find out if I did mention this group in some post at some time in the past .... there are 60,000 blog posts for this blog .... so if this group did something in the past .... I am confident that somewhere in this blog there is post on them. I did my search ... and I did get a hit from December 29, 2011 .... Pakistani Death Squads Are Now Targeting CIA Drone Informants. Apparently there is a group called the Khorasan Mujahedin, and they operate on the Afghan - Pakistan border .... but they are not the same group.

So does the Khorasan Group exist? I am now leaning to a No.
