Syria: New Terrorist Training Ground... Up to 6,000 jihadists now fighting with al Qaeda groups

Thousands of foreign terrorists traveled to Syria over the past several months to wage jihad, or holy war, in what U.S. officials say is fast becoming a new international terror training ground.

Most of the foreign terrorists are fighting for the al Qaeda-linked group the al-Nusra Front and are coming from around the world, mainly from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, and Tunisia, by crossing the Syrian border with Turkey. The al-Nusra Front is the most well organized and ideologically motivated armed opposition group after the secular Free Syrian Army.

“The Syrian opposition is benefiting from a steady flow of foreign fighters who seem to be joining a variety of Islamist-oriented brigades or, on a smaller scale, starting up nationality-based units,” said one U.S. official familiar with internal reports on the region.

These are Obama’s allies. I wonder if any of them have or will receive training from US bases in Jordan or Turkey?

Just make sure we don’t hit any American troops Obama has training them.

I hope the Syrians have some chemical weapons left.

[Carriage Hill]

I’d be surprised if all of them weren’t already looted and in the terrorists’ hands, ready to use on us.

Yes, you are right. After all, these ARE Odumdo's friends. What a first class maroon.

These, and those like them, are who obama wishes to bring over here to practice their craft.
