Obama: Battle-hardened militants pose threat to US

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama sees a rising threat that battle-hardened militants who have spent time in Syria and Iraq will be able to enter the United States on European passports.

Obama says these militants pose a danger because they won't need a U.S. passport to make such a visit.

He tells ABC's "This Week" that the U.S. must improve surveillance, reconnaissance and intelligence gathering to neutralize the risk, and U.S. Special Forces are going to have a role.

“The southern border is wide open in case the bamster hasn’t noticed”

I’m sure Barry hasn’t read the newspaper in a couple of days and is totally unaware of the situation. /s

Besides...didn’t he just release some jihadists from Gitmo. Now he’s worried? Is he stupid or...just stupid?

And the southern border just happens to be shared with one of the most corrupt countries on earth.

Where officials down there can be bribe with beer, some cash or prostitutes.

As the conga-line of millions pour in unabated from God knows where...through 10 years of war yet.

How a tractor trailer parked at a Walmart parking lot in Dallas, Houston, Denver or San Diego, has not gone off contaminating an entire city or worse, is a pure luck so far.

So unsecured, so blatant, it seems this is what they are actually hoping will happen.

Not as big a threat as the traitorous scumbag Obama.

That would identify the smell —

But if it has some organics, or nitrogen, you have just exhibited knowledge of explosive device construction!

Sorry, I’ll see you on the inside.

Thanks to Edward Snowden, we have it that Obama is collecting information on Americans.

To probably "reduce the risk."

The savage maniacs that go, “Habba dabba, habba dabba! Dabba, dabba—Allahu ackbar!” will be coming for his light-in-the-loafer buddies, that’s for sure, along with the militant bull dykes and all of the other screwballs the Democrats call their own.
And at that point I’ll be looking out for myself and others like me, my own, like you and others here.

Btw on that subject fyi I got a good deal last week on some former Marine 8X8 side plate carriers—Eagle brand, almost new—from Sportsmans Guide, and I’m fitting them with homemade plates now.
Some us know that while you’re busy starring in the movie of your life, shooting zombies through the head on the run, with over-the-shoulder shots—sometimes the zombies are shooting at you, too.

This story definitely doesn’t pass the smell test.

Since when does Obama even care about terrorists infiltrating the United States, other than to welcome them in the name of `diversity’?

NEWSFLASH: check out the growing liberal interfaith movement known as “Chrislam”. Muzzies in sheeps’ clothing like never before. Guess who’s meeting with them?

C’mon, give ya three guesses!

The disarming of American citizens has not proceeded that far yet. The “battle-hardened militants” may still have to fight their way through the street gangs in Chicago whom I understand are rather better armed than the police....

Lots and lots of OTMs (other than Mexicans) are pouring through our swiss cheese southern border.

I predict our sloppy protection of that border will play a big part in the next terrorist attack against our country, coming soon. (In truth, I think we’re hanging on by our fingernails.)

The greatest boon to firearms sales is Obama.

Strange, huh?

Not really.

Ever see a picture of him holdin’ a piece looks Chickie schumer?

An M14 would knock him on his arse.. Moochelle has a better likelihood of hittin any target.
