You never answered me Tibs...you good with a couple dozen young Syrian men moving in next door to your kids' school?

What type of rhetorical question is that? This is a nation of immigrants, why so paranoid over a few Syrians? How many Syrians took part in 9-11 or Paris? The answer is zero. Why are you buying into all the hype? I'd be more worried if a Belgian or a Frenchman moved in next door, especially if they just got back from the ME. Stop the madness coming from Trump, Cruz and others.

Cruz to introduce bill to bar Syrian refugees

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Sen. Ted Cruz, who has said that the United States should not allow Syrian Muslim refugees into the country but should provide safe haven to fleeing Christians, plans to introduce legislation that would bar Syrian refugees from entering the country. Cruz (R-Tex.) said after a campaign event here that the legislation is still being drafted and wouldn't offer details of exactly what it would say. According to reports, Cruz told CNN that it would bar Syrian Muslim refugees from entering the United States. Cruz has said numerous times in the past few days that Muslim refugees from Syria should be resettled in majority Muslim countries in the Middle East while Christian migrants should be allowed to enter the United States. "There is no meaningful risk of Christians committing acts of terror. If there were a group of radical Christians pledging to murder anyone who had a different religious view than they, we would have a different national security situation," Cruz said Sunday in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Do you not understand the difference between people coming here individually through normal immigration channels and coming here in hordes at once? Take a look at the Paris attackers Tibs, look at their names, their travel history and their criminal records...you think they'd have an easy time coming into this country on an individual basis and could escape the notice of homeland security? Why do you and Bernie care more about protecting Syrian children than about protecting our own citizens?
 
Syrian Passport by Stadium Was Stolen or Fake, A.F.P. Reports
http://www.nytimes.com/live/paris-attacks-live-updates/syrian-passport-reportedly-was-stolen-or-fake

A Syrian passport found near the body of one of the suicide bombers outside the Stade de France after the attacks on Friday may not be a useful clue to the bomber’s identity.

Agence France-Presse is reporting, citing a source close to the investigation, that the passport bore the name of Ahmad al-Mohammad, a soldier in the Syrian Army who was born in 1990 and died months ago.

French investigators say all indications point towards the fact he was a soldier loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to A.F.P., said the passport was either taken or fabricated based on a real identity.

Someone showed either the same passport or a copy of it to register as a refugee on the Greek island of Leros on Oct. 3, and the same thing happened in Serbia and Croatia in the following days.

Thomas de Maiziere, the German interior minister, said that that would be unusual for a bona fide migrant, and he suggested on Tuesday that the passport found at the bombing scene might be a “false trail” placed deliberately by the Islamic State attackers to turn public opinion against Syrian refugees.*

* for dumbasses like Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and the GOP to swallow hook, line and sinker.

#SYRIA Tu-160 and Tu-95MS strategic bombers performed airstrike engaging 34 cruise missiles on 14 important objects
 
I said I would accept all women, children and men over 40.

Men ages 18-40 get sent home. If that breaks up families so be it. You do what's best to save your wife and kids if they really matter to you. You go back and fix the problem in your own country.
 
Holy crap...Russia's not messing around.

Russia Pounds ISIS With Biggest Bomber Raid in Decades
http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...DB&via=FB_Page

Putin’s air force just uses its nuclear bombers to lay waste to the captial of the “Islamic State.”

The Russian air force just pulled off one of the biggest and most complex heavy bomber missions in modern history—sending no fewer than 25 Backfire, Bear, and Blackjack bombers on a coordinated, long-range air raid against alleged ISIS forces in Syria.

The Tuesday mission, which launched under the cover of darkness from a base in Ossetia in southern Russia, signalled a significant escalation of Moscow’s air war in Syria—and heralded the rebirth of Russian heavy bomber squadrons that once had withered from a lack of funding.

Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of Russia’s general staff, announced the raid on Tuesday, calling it part of “a new plan [for] the air campaign.”

“During a massive airstrike today, 14 important ISIL targets were destroyed by 34 air-launched cruise missiles,” Gerasimov said, using an alternative acronym for the terror army. “The targets destroyed include command posts that were used to coordinate ISIL activities in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, munition and supply depots in the northwestern part of Syria.”

The raid came of the same day that Kremlin officials publicly announced that a “terrorist act” brought down Russian Metrojet 9268 last month over the Sinai Peninsula. ISIS has since taken credit for the attack.

The Russian defense ministry released a video depicting three types of bombers arming, taking off, dropping munitions and then returning to base, escorted along their flight paths by Su-27 fighters.

The swing-wing, jet-propelled Tu-22M Backfires apparently carried unguided “dumb” bombs. The videos depicts airmen loading clusters of cruise missiles in the bomb bays of the propeller-driven Tu-95 Bears and the huge, swing-wing Tu-160 Blackjack jets, which at 177 feet long are the biggest combat planes ever built.

All three models of bomber can fly thousands of miles while hauling no less than 20 tons of weaponry. Only China and the United States possess similar heavy warplanes.

Launching 25 bombers on one mission is an impressive undertaking. Russia possesses just 70 Backfires, 58 Bears and 13 Blackjacks. The 14 Backfires, six Bears and five Blackjacks that reportedly struck Syria represent a significant proportion of the overall fleet. The massive raid is evidence of improving readiness on the part of the Russian air force, which in the 1990s and early 2000s grounded most of its aircraft because it couldn’t afford to fuel them up or pay their pilots.

By comparison, on any given day 57 of the U.S. Air Force's 77 B-52s, 35 of its 60 B-1s and nine of its 20 B-2 stealth bombers are even flyable, according to statistics from 2013.

And when they do fly, America’s bombers often sortie alone or in pairs, only rarely coming together in large numbers. Seven B-52s flew together to launch cruise missiles at Iraq in the early hours of Operation Desert Storm in 1991, and a group of eight of the giant warplanes repeated the feat on the first day of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003.

In other words: this Russian attack was “shock and awe”—on steroids.

Russia’s bomber raid was certainly impressive, and has propaganda value in addition to bolstering Moscow’s operations in Syria. When 25 of the planet’s most powerful warplanes attack at the same time, it’s more than a mere air raid. It’s a statement to the whole world.
 
Such a pretty plane

#OpParis: Anonymous takes down 5,500 ISIS Twitter accounts
https://www.rt.com/news/322427-anonymous-isis-twitter-accounts/

Hacktivist group Anonymous has reported that more than 5,500 Twitter accounts belonging to Islamic State have been taken down. It comes after the collective declared a “total war” on the militant group following the Paris attacks.
 
They should set up save zones in Syria and put them there. There is no reason to bring them here or let them flow into Europe. As always BHO has no clue. And the hate mongering rape fantasying Sanders is nothing more than a socialist mouth piece to pave the way for Hillary.

DBS posted a nice map on Facebook showing all of the No War countries these "refugees: had to bypass to get to the Western European countries and the USA. Many of those bypassed nations included Muslim majorities.

Weird.

Why they don't let that billionaire buy that island he wants and house them is beyond me. He said he will pay for everything.
