Obama: Battle-hardened militants pose threat to US

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama sees a rising threat that battle-hardened militants who have spent time in Syria and Iraq will be able to enter the United States on European passports.

Obama says these militants pose a danger because they won't need a U.S. passport to make such a visit.

He tells ABC's "This Week" that the U.S. must improve surveillance, reconnaissance and intelligence gathering to neutralize the risk, and U.S. Special Forces are going to have a role.

Obviously, border security is a big Barry priority.

Bambi is fine with “militants” entering and taking over. But I wonder if maybe some of the military have spoken to whoever handles him (when he’s not on the golf course) and told that person that Obama has got to start at least pretending to take this seriously.

Also, maybe Baby Barry realized that the “militants” don’t like him, either, despite his best efforts, and they’d really rather take out the WH occupied than unoccupied.

Oh, please take away more of my civil rights, I’m so frightened! And be sure to send more diapers down to the Border Patrol, no jihadist would ever think of coming in through America’s non-existent Southern Border.

“battle-hardened militants”

Since it’s always been hard to tell which side Zero’s on,
is he talking about his muzzie buddies or American vets? Of course his buddies won’t need passports.
They just walk into Arizona until they meet a government lawyer, a hot & a cot, then a govt. ride to their target.

Of course we must realize that “The Great ObamaNation” is really speaking about our own veterans. Hence the “War On Veterans” that he has been waging since he took office.

It’s his doing.
Guess what, they aren’t going to do much damage in red states.
Probably next to none.
Blue cities and states are another story.
DC is their grand prize.

He is preparing executive orders for bypassing the laws regarding governmental invasion and privacy, and citizen snatch-and-detain orders. The latter is to neutralize his hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition purchased by the various federal departments and offices.

This man and his henchmen are pure evil.

That would identify the smell, I just can’t see why he would do anything that might protect America, unless as you said someone is forcing the issue.

This may just be a ploy to keep out white European immigrants, more than he’s already doing.

That’s okay, Pajama Boy. Putin will take up the slack for your cowardice, as he’s doing today in Iraq. They will be so grateful for his help that he’ll wind up with a lot of their oil, but you don’t care because you don’t want us to use oil anyway.

This must be why Barry and his ‘RATS are trying so hard to disarm the American people. They don’t want any of these “battle-hardened militants” getting seriously hurt or anything while visiting America. We’re going to be their “hosts” and we need to look out for their safety.

The Boston terrrorists ALSO did not need passports.

The DH”S” and DO”J” ALSO knew they were coming.

The difference?

Obama and McCain and the Treasous EXEMPT have
armed THESE terrorists with MANPADs, SAMs, Sarin,
and given them maps and a list of soft targets.

This will be Odumbo’s excuse to order martial law. And you know what that means, he will use that to order that all privately owned weapons be confiscated! Here it comes.

Maybe one of these days Obama will realize that those
battle hardened jihadis are a threat to HIM too.

Of course there are a lot of battle hardened folks
out there, not just jihadis.
