4 Turkish terrorists caught in Texas after being smuggled across border

4 Turkish terrorists caught in Texas after being smuggled across border.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...n-border-befo/

If there is four of them, then there are more right behind them looking to do the same.

Love to see this STRAC-D Report on these cats.

Grabber headlines?

Kurds - yep.
Turkish citizens - yep.
Illegals (since caught illegally entering the US over 2 months ago) - yep.
Terrorists - ???

Their capture by the Border Patrol in Texas set off a fierce debate over the men’s intentions, with some members of*Congress*saying they were terrorist fighters. Homeland Security officials, including Secretary*Jeh Johnson, countered that they were part of the Kurdish resistance which, like the U.S., is fighting the Islamic State’s advance in*Iraq.
The Turks have always had it out for the Kurds. These guys just figured the sooner than better to get the hell out of there. Of course illegally entering our borders is the real issue here.

They are moving from a secular Islamic state to a more radical one.

The Turks refused to allow us to transit forces through their country for OIF.

They refused to allow us to launch and recover aircraft for strikes in ISIS.

The Turks have not permitted their Army to intervene in Kobani, even when civilians were being killed.

The most recent incident with our sailors on shore leave comes to mind as well.

Yepper! Real soon our tolerance-prone, PC-minded, kiss-the-worlds-ass foreign policy is going to get America in deep kimchi, and no amount of wishin' an' hopin' is going to get us out. It's going to take boots on the ground and an armed force to do it, and that'll be in our cities, suburbs, and all along our Interstates. Stand by...a hard rain's gonna fall. Just a matter of time.

Speaking of tolerance. This just happened at the house floor.

Allah Praised House floor. Its beyond me that people don't see "religion" for what the theocracy it is.

If only this tolerance was a two way street.
