As the noose tightens around ISIS stronghold of Mosul, concerns have grown about American Jihadists returning home to the US.

As the battle for Mosul in Iraq enters its sixth week, and the Iraqi forces slowly advance and move towards encircling the city, concerns have been expressed about the danger that American jihadi fighters fleeing Iraq may try to make their way back to the US.

Recent articles in Newsweek and on Fox News have highlighted the danger of these American natives returning to the US under new names with new passports and with fighting skills and experience that will make them especially dangerous.

He probably left the lights on too.

The geniuses in Iraq are leaving the Western approach to Mosul open so the Jihadists can escape to Turkey or Syria.

Watch, after the Kurds and the Iraqis take Mosul, the Iraqis and the Turks will attack the Kurds.

The technical feasibility of a bunch of Americans returning with fake passports is a tough premise. Syrian passports are easy to score, but time to return goes up to January 20th, then stops. European and US passports are much tougher to fake.

This is why Russia and China sent in special forces to kill their nationals who went to fight in Syria - BEFORE they were hardened fighters ready to bring the war home.

Sorry, there have been many reports of the Russia government facilitating travel to Syria to get rid of their crazy rag heads.
