Belgium will extend its F-16 air strikes against ISIS militants in Iraq into Syria, the government said Friday, as it grapples with the aftermath of deadly ISIS-claimed bomb attacks in Brussels in March.

They better destroy the refugees at the same time that they destroy the refuges.

Jean Claude is 55 now. I doubt if he can still kick that high...though he probably can beat the holy PIE outta any of those ISIS sissies.
