Add this to Greece's list of problems: It's an emerging hub for terrorists
CNN ^ | 26 Jan 15 | Tim Lister and Ioannis Mantziko

The new Greek government has plenty of challenges ahead of it: A towering debt, chronic unemployment and relations with the rest of Europe. But it also has an urgent security problem.

Greece has become an unwitting crossroads -- both for jihadists trying to reach Iraq and Syria from Europe, and for fighters returning home from the Middle East.

And the MSM is just now discovering this?

Greece has been a supporter of terrorism as soon as the commies took over. Probably before that also.

Even the PLO used to discuss smuggling through Athens as an easy gateway to Europe.

The Greeks are about to revert to a “state of nature” where life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. They have spent all of the other peoples money they could beg, borrow or steal. They appear incapable of creating anything of value and will just be waiting for charity from others. They deserve a very long wait.

Athens Airport was terrorist central when the evil Andreas Papandreou was sucking up to the Sovs & the Palis.

Greece’s new leftie PM promises more of the same. Find a local Greek place to eat at & stay away from the Aegean.

Between the commies in Athens & the Shariah crowd in Turkey the whole region could go up in smoke.

Wow! That’s interesting. Thanks.

Am I the only one? This more and more reminds me of the years immediately preceeding WWI. Yes...WWI, not WWII. But before WWI, Europe and the Balkans were riven with terrorist groups, political warring factions, the rise of the Communists, etc.

Scary!

Uh...yea, brilliant (sarc/). Let the craven muzzies of Turkey do to a bastion of civilization like Greece the same they did to Constantinople.

Not my idea of a very good plan, actually. But then I guess, if you haven’t lived in a Muslim nation, (I have), you can’t quite imagine just how oppressive and retrograde their societies are.
