US Preparing for Islamic State's ‘Terrorist Diaspora'

As many as 40,000 foreign fighters from more than 120 countries are believed to have flocked to the conflict in Syria, with a majority of them joining IS while the group grew and saw its fortunes rise as it advanced across Iraq.

What's with the verb tense? They are already here. How are they so obtuse?

I strongly object to the term “Diaspora” being used in this context!

Kinda hard to do that when your boss has thrown the door wide open to Syrian "refugees".

Seems to me like we've got a great opportunity, while they're all there in Syria. It's not like we've never needed to do it, before...

Were importing hundred of them a month right now. Comey is insane or a bold face liar - neither of which acquits him very well.

He and the other natsec traitors *create* the “refugees” and then bring them to the US to facilitate the Deep State overthrow.

But even there, concerns persist as officials worry some may be heeding the terror group's call to stay home and find ways to carry out attacks where they live.

Of course that should be a concern.

I could not figure out why from the start ISIS didn't tell American Muslims to stay home and wreak future havoc here instead of tipping their hand by trying to go abroad to join ISIS, thereby drawing attention to themselves.

With over a billion Muslims around the world, ISIS has plenty of recruitment opportunities, without removing Jihadists from he belly of the BIG Satan.(USA)-Tom

“Will be???”

On the run, need to read entire thread & article, but on first glance it sounds as if he is breaking with the admin.

Yeah, right Comey. Like how you spotted the violation of law with regard to HRC? I suppose as long as there is no 'intent' all is good and well...

I wish I had something more intelligent to say other than my usual...

We’re. So. Screwed.

But, we are. For now, anyway.
