I still say it is time for all those so called MODERATE Muslims to get off their tuffs and go after these 400 and then down to Syria to wipe out ISIS. They do that and I will trust them if not then profiling is the way to go.

If I lived in Europe, I would be so pissed at the U.S.! We started all this crap well before 911 by sticking our noses into the Middle East where it didn't belong! We got involved in this mess just because of Middle Eastern oil. Now who's paying the price? Our friends and allies in Europe! They're being flooded with immigrants, and their countries are being attacked by terrorists.
It's bad enough we destabilized that region of the world and supported dictators, but now we're supporting terrorists (moderate rebels?) in Syria! We continue to consider Saudi Arabia a friend even though their human rights record is terrible! They follow Sharia Law, and treat their women like second class citizens. All of this to keep the pipeline of oil flowing. A fossil fuel we should have been weaned off long ago.
Our government is full of neocons, who want to infiltrate and change foreign governments to suit American interests. These conflicts are a direct result from us meddling in foreign countries. Enough is enough! This is exactly what our government was declaring the Soviet Union was doing back during the cold war! The U.S. was warning us the Soviet Union was influencing and spreading communism. Isn't the U.S. doing that exact same thing with democracy?
Our government and the world needs to stop looking to us to police foreign problems. It's not our neighborhood, so let their neighbors mediate the problem. It's like someone from New York trying to settle problems in California. There's a reason why countries have revolutions. When the majority of its citizen's have had enough with government corruption and the abuse of human rights, they will over throw it.
Installing a puppet government is not the way to get a long and stable peace.

This group wishes to finish what their ancestors started in Europe.
Wonder if Europe will do the same as theirs.

I wonder how much they paid the cartels to sneak people over the border?
Does ISIS sell heroin?
www.rt.com...
According to our estimates, IS makes up to $1 billion annually on Afghan heroin trafficked through its territory," he added. The FSKN in November said that the sale of Afghan heroin in Europe could generate upwards of $50 billion for the militants.
What this tells you is that they already have connection with Mexican Cartels and established trade routes from Mexico to the US through the southern border.
