Back in May, with ISIS ascendant, the Obama Pentagon ordered U.S. military bases here at home to raise their force-protection condition status (FPCON) to "Bravo" amid a "general increase in the threat environment."
FPCON is the military's security posture to protect troops, their families, civilian employees, information, equipment, and facilities against terrorist threats. FPCON Bravo -- the third-highest threat level on a five-tier scale used by the Department of Defense -- signals a climate in which "increased and more predictable threat[s] of terrorist activity" and "probable violence" exist, requiring higher security measures including vehicle inspections, stricter ID checks, and increased guard presence.
In September, with Syrian Muslim refugees flooding Europe and moving into areas near U.S. military bases and housing, the Army rightly raised alarms again about the threat such mass resettlement poses to our troops abroad.
"If it ends up being right next to where we have American bases or American housing areas, we're going to have to pay close attention to force protection," Lieutenant General Ben Hodges told the Army Times. "I worry about having thousands of young men sitting in tents all winter," he said, noting that they were "vulnerable to recruitment by extremist organizations."

The heightened security stance was enacted as Muslim refugee encampments in Germany became overrun by militant Islamic agitators, rapists, child abusers, and sex traffickers.
Two months later, ISIS jihadists posing as refugees -- "refujihadis," as conservative podcasters Brett Smith and Lisa DePasquale pithily dubbed them -- committed mass murder of more than 100 civilians at soft targets across Paris.

Question: If these throngs of disgruntled, unemployed, border-traipsing, Muslim refugees pose ongoing threats to our men and women in uniform and their families on bases stateside and overseas, what does that say about the vapid reassurances from President Obama, Democratic Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, and the refugee-resettlement racketeers that our homeland-security bureaucracy can effectively "vet" tens of thousands more and distribute them safely among our civilian population across the heartland?
I've reported for years on how immigration lawyers and tax-funded resettlement agencies run by left-wing religious and social-justice groups have routinely gamed the system on behalf of asylum con artists. The racketeers coach applicants with phony stories and documents from "chop shops" and gamble their way through "refugee roulette."
Along with everyday fraudsters, numerous jihad operatives -- ranging from the Boston Marathon bomber brothers Tsarnaev to 1993 World Trade Center plotters Ramzi Yousef and the Blind Sheik to 1997 New York City bomb plotter Gazi Ibrahim Abu Mezer to CIA headquarters jihadist Mir Aimal Kansi to Ohio shopping-mall bomb plotter Nuradin Abdi to ethnic-Albanian Fort Dix jihad plotters Dritan, Shain, and Eljvir Duka -- have exploited our fraud-riddled asylum and refugee programs to plot and wage war on Americans.

Reminder: FBI agents admitted in 2013 that several dozen suspected terrorist bomb-builders may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as Iraqi war refugees, including two al-Qaeda in Iraq jihadists who were resettled as refugees in Bowling Green, Ky. -- and then later admitted in court that they had attacked U.S. soldiers in Iraq, according to ABC News.
Reminder: In my adopted hometown of Colorado Springs, a gang of Iraqi Muslim refugees were convicted in the monstrous rape and brutalization of a woman in 2012 -- after being welcomed here with open arms and, in at least one case, receiving praise and help from U.S. soldiers.
While Obama officials now pay lip service to stringent "vetting," they unilaterally relaxed screening procedures last year to allow entry by untold asylees and refugees who confessed to providing "limited material support" to terror groups.
RELATED: Refugee Resettlement Is Immoral
Partisan attorney general Loretta Lynch smoothly assured us all this week that the administration that brought us Fast and Furious, the disastrous southern border surge, and Benghazi can guarantee "significant and robust screening."
But last month, FBI director James Comey acknowledged on Capitol Hill that "gaps" remained in the U.S.'s ability to screen refugees from Syria. To those citing our ability to search numerous national security databases, Comey delivered this reality check:
If someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home, but there will be nothing showing up because we have no record of them.
Our government continues to issue 1 million green cards every single year, 70,000 permits to people who apply for asylum, 500,000 foreign-student visas, and 700,000 work permits for both skilled and unskilled labor. Upwards of 30 million aliens are here illegally, with 45 percent of them visa overstayers from around the world, and hundreds of thousands of them deportation fugitives.
The Departments of Homeland Security, State, and Labor have all proved themselves serially incapable of monitoring, collecting, and analyzing basic data about who gets in. Decades' worth of U.S. Government Accountability Office and inspector-general reports document repeated failures to enforce visa requirements and national-security measures.
"Force protection" for American citizens on American soil starts with saying "stop" to a perilous new refugee flood -- so we can get our own house in order first.

I would not be surprised to see the “fully vetted” ones
going to democrat states/strong holds and the partially
vetted ones going to republican states.
They are aliens, and it IS possible...
How can they vet, when the new refugees likely have no records from the home country, etc.
Then, the media and admin officials claim that these people have been waiting in line for weeks and months, so the vetting has been going on.
Of course, the admin is not releasing any details or information on results of the vetting.
Then, they claim that the refugees are women and children [for the heart-strings tugging].
They couldn’t even set up a healthcare website after $millions of dollars and several years. What makes anyone think they have the capacity or capability of vetting any of these refugees?
is this the same regime who couldn’t get a website built?
Who Believes Obamaâs Crew WILL EVEN TRY to Vet the Syrian Refugees?...................
Why would you think they’d want to?
This administration still hasn’t addressed the Boston Marathon bombing. The answer is no.
It doesn’t matter regardless. NOT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS AMERICAN just because Democrats like to live in a make believe world doesn’t make it so.
We do not have to justify the existence of our Nation to them! They are the ones trying to change the status quo by importing illiterate 7th century savages. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES!! Not the Americans.
The vetting is performed on a $6 billion website, of course it will work! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
First Obamaâs Crew must find out what “Vet” means
Taqiyya is a nearly foolproof, cultural and MILITARY device/deceit.
No sane person would accept the “vetting” done by the Current Regime.
Where would they get anything like an honest assessment of the character and history of the applicant, and how could this source be verified?
Hold these people at some off-shore location until they die of old age, I guess. One suggestion I had was that the island of Moloka’i, in the Hawaii island chain, where there was once a leper colony at Kalaupapa, a small unincorporated community, and sufficiently remote from the US mainland. Route the “refugees” there, and THEN attempt to vet the applicants.
And remind them, every day, that this was a leper colony.
That should screen out a LOT of them right away, as they clamor to return to whence they came.
Millions of Fake Refugees flood Europe in biblical proportions, demand money and best housing,
Antarctica is a huge continent and has no native inhabitants to object, only a few scientists studying Globull Warming.
Can?
Or will?

“Brother of Paris jihad murderer worked in Belgian immigration department”
The FBI already ADMITS they cannot Vet the retreating ISIS forces from Russian attacks in Syria through Turkey into Europe and the United States.
I think it’s pretty clear the ESTABLISHMENT is no longer interested in protecting this Republic. They are more loyal to the United Nations than the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.
The STATES delegate their Authority via the U.S. Constitution. The States reserve the RIGHT to find the current Washington DC Establishment..... Null and Void.
Elections need to be called for immediately.
The only people he wants removed from our country are conservatives and gun owners.
The obama team vetting muslim refugees will be like Headley Lamar team vetting criminals.
