:facepalm:

And there are people who find his deliberately offensive, obnoxious rhetoric appealing.

Our Nation has become a reality tv show, replete with combover and orange spray tan.

Oh. And the worst kind of racism.

But, I agree. Not at all surprised. :notgood:

While the Pentagon weighs its approach, pressure may be building from both sides of the aisle. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, speaking in New York Thursday, also indicated a desire to expand the air campaign against ISIS and loosen the rules of engagement.

“It is time to begin a new phase and intensify and broaden our efforts to smash the would-be caliphate and deny ISIS control of territory in Iraq and Syria. That starts with a more effective coalition air campaign, with more allied planes, more strikes, and a broader target set,” she said at the Council on Foreign Relations.

BIB No i really don't know , that is why I asked you- this is getting awfully cryptic.

My "gaah" frustration emoji is due to a key fugitive is walking around on foot & they haven't caught him yet. That is all, cotton.

Not for a second. We don't have the resources. IMO

I don't either. My son, ex-Navy, can't find a job even with military time & degree in business admin. He'd be there vetting if there was such a job. All that's left is the big no-no--defense contractors.

CAPITOL HILL—

Amid furor in Washington over the admission of Syrian refugees, senators of both parties say that the easiest path for foreign terrorists to enter the United States is the visa waiver program.

Without visas, nationals from dozens of countries in Europe and elsewhere need only a passport to pass through U.S. customs at airports and other entry points, bypassing the screening process to which visa applicants are subjected.

“Twenty million people each year from 38 countries, including France and Belgium, use the visa waiver program,” said Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein. “Terrorists could exploit the program, could go from France to Syria, as 2,000 fighters have done, come back to France, use the visa waiver program and, without any further scrutiny, come into the United States.”

The UNHCR vets refugees, in the best of circumstances, but their massive and rapid movement hit so fast and all at once, whereas it is usually at levels they can deal with more efficiently it seems.

To Mom and Tony, several weeks to a month ago (before the Attacks in Paris) high ranking FBIpersonnel made a statement to the press (can't remember which news agencies reported it and which didn't) that they are literally scrambling to counter the terror threats, both domestic and foreign, that they are expected to deal with. He stated honestly and emphatically that they were overwhelmed, understaffed and losing the battle and can't get in front of this growing issue.

SWEDEN ARRESTS ISIS-TERRORIST IN ASYLUM CENTER


http://www.d-intl.com/2015/11/20/ni...c&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork

The suspect IS-terrorist Mutar Muthanna Majid and two other persons have been arrested in one of the Immigration Service asylum lodgings in Vasterbotten - how the 25 year old war-trained Iraqi man has ended up in an asylum accommodation, is still a question no one can answer.
The investigation is under secrecy and therefore I can not answer that question, says Fredrik Milder of the Security Service to the Dispatch International.

Security Service and police have arrested the IS-terrorist Mutar Muthanna Majid in an asylum accommodation in Västerbotten - unconfirmed reports claiming that eight persons have been arrested in the same asylum accommodation. Shortly after 21 o'clock in the evening the Security Police, Säpo, confirmed that they, together with the Police Authority had made a raid in Boliden - and arrested the suspect 25-year-old Iraqi IS-terrorist Mutes Muthanna Majid, who has been charged in his absence, on suspicion of terrorist crimes.

Dear Swedes, let me assist you in your thinking about how a terrorist from ISIS might end up in a Swedish refugee center.

:thinking:

How about posing as a refugee? Wouldn't that be the quickest and easiest way to find lodgings with the Swedish Imigration Service? Hey?

Gawd, the $$ is where?? He's been applying for a year...nada.

Tony, is/was your son in the US Navy? I understand if you prefer not to answer.

As a person who uses the VWP every time I visit the U.S, I think this is a little misleading.

To be clear, what I'm about to post is not intended to cause controversy about the rights and wrongs of entry to the U.S., I just want to help people to understand the process of entering the U.S under the VWP.

In order to use the VWP we have to apply for an E.S.T.A before we travel. The E.S.T.A is good for two years, after which time we renew it. We also have to reapply if our passport is reissued.

I most recently applied for an E.S.T.A about 3 weeks ago, ahead of my trip to the US next month.

Information I had to give included all the details on my passport, my address, my employer's name and address and the names of both of my parents, even though they're both deceased.
A contact address in the U.S is also requested.
This information is all submitted electronically, and then authorisation to travel to the U.S. is granted. Or not granted. If it's not granted, the applicant then has to apply to visit using a Visa.
NB, This authorisation does NOT mean we will necessarily be admitted to the U.S when we arrive. We are still subject to questioning and scrutiny on arrival. We can still be turned away and sent back where we came from.

If I didn't complete this information and obtain the electronic travel authorisation, I wouldn't be allowed to travel to the U.S.

This is the E.S.T.A webpage :

Was.. In Hormuz & then Pacific fleet. Then he did BS in business. He steadfastly refused to use the military time as a step-up for job. Now he's scrambling, trying to avoid defense contractors. No win solution.

That was an excellent article, thanks. But, be forewarned, there was a graphic part or two.
