Thanks to Drudge for the tip.

The Barbary pirates are baack

“Pssst - ISIS. I hear Germany is ripe for the taking”

[Karl Spooner]

Sounds like the Vatican is in trouble...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

You can thank Obama and Hitlery for that little gem.

Very easily implemented I would think. Italy alone pulls hundreds of north Africans and others from leaky boats every week as does Malta.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep. All hail the caliphate and the recreation of the Ottoman Empire. Only question is....who’s in charge. Sunni or Shia.

[Capt. Tom]

The jihadists hope to flood the north African state with militiamen from Syria and Iraq, who will then sail across the Mediterranean posing as migrants on people trafficking vessels

And don't forget the USA.
Obama is going to see we are not left out.-Tom

Fron another source. CNS-The United States has "a long tradition of welcoming refugees," and it expects to welcome thousands more of them from Syria in 2015 and 2016, despite concerns about foreign fighters, the State Department said.

Quick, get them jobs!

“He added last night that he did not regret British efforts to oust Col Gaddafi, despite the threat from terrorists, insisting that it was the ‘right thing to do”.

It’s the privilege of leftists never to be wrong, unless, of course, they fail to be left enough.

Need the link to the FR thread on the Atlantic article .

“Sounds like the Vatican is in trouble...”

I'm willing to go defend. All I want is a nice little place on the Amalfi coast when it's all over and ISIS is gone.

[doc1019]

Great point ... guess the Anti-Christ will have to straighten that out.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

They’re already there!

[manc]

Malta not really but Italy needs to wake the hell up and turn back the illegals.

[manc]

Me too, though I want a nice villa right there.

[EvilCapitalist]

If the Italian navy has the balls to do it, a few torpedos from one of their submarines should scuttle the plans of ISIS.

[NRx]

Good morning Europe, this is your wake up call. May I suggest you skip the De-Caf and take you coffee straight this morning. I think you are going to need it.

[mrsmith]

Europe needn’t worry...
CHINA can afford to protect them, and wouldn’t mind getting some Libyan oil.

That broke old super-power (what was it’s name?) isn’t needed thank goodness!
