Disturbing that the US military, and our politicians will openly acknowledge the threat posed by open borders, against US citizen/soldiers in Iraq, yet refute the idea, and deny the money to stop Al Queada from chainging entry tactics and waltzing in through the US Mexico border threatening the casfety of US citizens in the US. I'm not a closed border advocate, but the diconnect is astounding. How much does a one way ticket from Riyadh to Mexico City cost, plus bus ticket to the US border towns cost?

Just a fraction of what's being spent in Iraq could secure the border, and secure L.A. or another Southwestern US city from being attacked.

More on topic to the article, passively promoting the young disillusioned and brain washed religious ragtags of their countries to move to Afghanistan or Iraq is the best pressure release valve these regimes have. And the facts about the attack in Syria leads me to believe it was staged by Syrian agents of the Syrian goverment. The timing, the attack on an building that once in the past housed a UN office, lack of complexity, and lack of casualties. Syria's own OKC bombing event. Just as Clinton blamed Rush to cover political bases, Assad can show the US he too is a "victim" and wants to "stamp terrorism out."

The tons of explosives seized in Jordan, presumably from Syria, have not been traced back yet, publicly. If it was supported by Syrian gov. agents, we're talking about regional low level conflict through proxy religious and Ba'athist militias.
