US Propaganda for War on ISIS

Does anyone else see through these recent stories reported in the media about imminent attacks conveniently discovered or thwarted since US military involvement in Syria?

Congress can barely agree on anything, yet in the midst of reelection they come to a consensus with the President that ISIS must be stopped. The US has bombed ISIS in Syria almost by itself, without official permission from Syria to enter its airspace.

War against a common enemy has a way of bringing the country together, fortunately or unfortunately. But military action alone would not be enough to maintain domestic and international support. The US government in cooperation with the military have fed the mainstream media stories of success since the start of this war against ISIS.

Is anyone critical of the thwarting of an imminent attack by the Khorasians?

Supposedly this group was planning to attack the US by smuggling explosives in carryon luggage. Could this be continued justification for TSA screening? Does it help to justify the actions of bombing people in Syria?

Today there was a story that the Iraqi PM heard of an (again) imminent attack on the US and Paris subway systems.

Is it possible the US government advised the Iraqi PM to release this information? How can these claims be verified? Is it not possible that ISIS could be plotting any attack anywhere? If so, the US government and military could claim they are thwarting terror attacks with every member of ISIS they kill.

We need journalists who will ask the difficult questions to hold the US government and military accountable for their actions. Mainstream media is too cozy with the very entities they are supposed to be questioning.

Of course, we want the US to succeed, but if they are feeding us lies, exaggerations, unverified claims as a means of garnering popular support for their bombing, they need to be called on the carpet.
