Just read this from the NYT

quote:

WASHINGTON — Militants for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have traveled to Mexico and are just miles from the United States. They plan to cross over the porous border and will “imminently” launch car bomb attacks. And the threat is so real that federal law enforcement officers have been placed at a heightened state of alert, and an American military base near the border has increased its security.

Let's say they cross and blow up a vehicle here, is the border immediately sealed? Are thousands of troops sent to the border? What would be the play?

First Obama will hold a speech where he will lambaste Bush, and the House of Reps for their actions in allowing this to occur.


Then, golf.

The play would be a solid 18 holes.

Better question....

Why does the federal government think it is in our best interest to not secure our southern border?

I'm thinking an assload of rednecks will descend on the border locked and loaded.

Love reading dumb shite like this.

Did they bring their jet planes full of christians who all have Ebola too so they can crash them in America and ruin whole cities?

That's what you get when a worthless federal government refuses to secure the nations border. A government that will send it's own young men to die fighting in shitholes like Iraq and spend billions of dollars there refuses to protect the sovereignty of it's own borders. This makes me furious.

False flag precursor to martial law. No country has leaders this incompetent regarding border security if it wasn't.

Through Texas?

In Texas?


I'm sorry but carrying out a terrorist attack in Texas seems ill advised.

I wonder how the cartels would feel about a large armed group of foreigners passing through their territory.

Talk about blowing your wad too soon. Would immediately get our defenses up and completely squander their "element of surprise". Repubs should do this themselves if they are really serious about getting the country behind them on boarder security.

It's easy to joke about his golf schedule etc., but it would more than likely be a very chaotic situation. Troops would be sent immediately and all incoming traffic/trucks/border crossers triple screened. Border crossings would be at a standstill, rumbles of impeachment would be forthcoming and CNN/FOX/MSNBC would rehash old new stories of "what we should've done" rabble rabble

i doubt they would blow it up. the administration is using OUR tax dollars to send these guys all over the country. they will prob just get on the bus with all the other criminals we're letting in. why go boom in the desert when we're offering to bring them right to our schools/hospitals/malls?
