Former Syrian rebel leader joins exodus to Europe (barf alert)

He is accustomed to being in command — he led a 700-strong rebel unit in Syria's civil war — and he is now keen to help others dealing with exile.

"Everyone wants to leave Syria," he said. "My (home) is the most dangerous city in the world. About 70 percent of the city is destroyed ... In Syria, Al Qaeda want me, Daesh (the Islamic State extremist group), the government — I fought them all. I don't care. Some people are afraid. I'm not."

As a seasoned fighter, Al Saleh moves fast. He clandestinely crossed Syria's porous border with Turkey, walking for several hours, proceeded by bus to the coastal city of Bodrum, opposite Kos, and got on the first boat he could find.

And the next we hear from him will be when he machine guns a dozen or so Germans during Oktoberfest.

This fraud knows what happens when ISIS takes control. People like him end up with their head on a pike. Time to get out of Dodge, “patriot”.

“In Syria, Al Qaeda want me, Daesh (the Islamic State extremist group), the government — I fought them all. I don’t care. Some people are afraid. I’m not.”

Yeah, hotshot, and that’s why your ass is popping smoke for Europe... another psychopathic loser that the Left will undoubtedly embrace as a poster child for the West’s complete failure to just love the rest of the world enough...

He will hire a lawyer using Germany’s generous welfare benefits and sue whatever city he resides in because his Muslim faith is being violated in some way. The EU is really setting themselves up for a disaster, imo.

I am hoping it marks the dissolution of the synthetic EU and the return to sovereign, authentic European nations. Transnationalism running between DC and Brussels has been a stealth WWIII. If the Euroskeptics can’t beat their adversaries flat with this, there is no hope for doing it at all.

HALTING THE IMMIGRATION INVASION OF THE WEST!
Pack ALL the muzzies among them back aboard a ship or train BACK to whereverthehell they came from along with a rifle and 500 rounds of ammo for each military age individual — male and female — and any older men who want to fight for their freedom.
During the trip back, REQUIRE them to watch a short video of the sort linked below (with subtitles in their language).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkyEtw8lBtI
Once offloaded, and under armed military control to prevent them from turning the weapons on their “liberators”, pass out the weapons and ammo with a map pointing out where current satellite images indicate the folks they’ve fled are located, pat them on the back and wish them luck!
BTW, why wouldn’t that work for the Mexican and Central American illegals here? Only difference is that the folks they need to take out are the crooked politicians and drug cartels now running their homelands?

Mark Steyn on talk radio this morning said that this wave of 'refugees' is nothing like after WWII where whole families moved. Mark said that the numbers now show that 75% of those flooding into Europe are young males.

Compare: Some people are afraid. I'm not."

With:

As a seasoned fighter, Al Saleh moves fast. He clandestinely crossed Syria's porous border with Turkey, walking for several hours, proceeded by bus to the coastal city of Bodrum, opposite Kos, and got on the first boat he could find.

The guy sounds like a Monty Python skit - all brave, puffed-up chest, etc., and then something happens and he's "Run away! Run away!"

At least he fought ISIS, I'll give him that - but will he make a model citizen of Germany? I think not, but time will tell.

I wouldn't bet on it, though I'd like to believe that. Most of those fighting ISIS (or any other radical Moslems, for that matter) who are themselves Moslem, tend to be nothing more or less than a competing force...which is to say, the same level of ideologue/butcher, just less successful. They are, however, smart enough to tell us Westerners that they opposed or fought whatever group of the day that we Westerners are the most concerned about.

Let's let time tell on this particular guy, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for a Moslem version of Jefferson or Madison.

early on, there were many Syrians that crossed into turkey and were working with Syrian officers that defected. they were working with the coalition then in opposition to assad. this revolutionary group was overcome by the radical Islamic wackos that in effect stole the revolution.

for reasons we have not been told, obama abandoned this effort and deserted the coalition. that was a terrible error in judgement on his part. I believe that he wanted to be the all knowing commander and left in a huff when he had opposition from regional leaders with a much better grasp of the situation

remember, obama summoned the Kings and they did not come. that was a terrible slap in the face. he now seems to be attempting to admit his error and rejoin the effort as a player than supreme commander
