The truck was loaded with munitions, then driven up a hillside in northern Syria. Moments later, there was a massive blast followed by cries of "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great" in Arabic, and the rattling of gunfire.

What made this suicide bombing stand out was not that it happened -- as such attacks have become fairly commonplace in war-torn Syria -- but the identity of one of the men who carried out.

He was American.

In an online video and social media, radical Islamists claiming responsibility for the blast touted one of the attackers as Abu Hurayra Al-Amriki, an American. Late Thursday, two U.S. officials confirmed their boast.

One less crazy for Florida and one more dead terrorist.

Where’s the downside?

He’s still voting in at least 2 states.

not only do we LET these violent, anti-American, anti-Christian IslamoNazis come into USA, but our current administration has even paid some of their way here (!)

yes, we are a nation of immigrants. but no other immigrant group has ever come here with the express purpose of destroying, subjugating, or killing us. As they have done to countless other non-Moslem peoples around the world, for hundreds and hundreds of years.

will we wake up in time and expel all these Enemies Within?
or maybe it is already too late?

Can Obama still exchange some Muslim generals for him?

Islam has GOT to be eradicated.

The only downside is that he still gets to vote “D” in the election.

About two or three years ago I took a picture of a car on the interstate in Sarasota, Florida with a home made bumper sticker and a driver that matched the look that said, “Proud to be a terrorist.” Took a picture of the car, the bumper sticker, the license plate, and the driver and called 911. Gave them the license number and the dispatcher said, “Oh my goodness, that’s not a valid plate.” They asked for the pictures go be forwarded to them.
Never found out what specifically happened after that although there was a terrorism conviction there shortly thereafter.
