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.

All the more reason to let this thing drag out until no-one is left.

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

I hope the Syrians have some chemical weapons left.
To: woodbutcher1963
I’d be surprised if all of them weren’t already looted and in the terrorists’ hands, ready to use on us.

“Hey, this worked so well in Afghanistan. What could go wrong?”
all the more reason for the U.S. to back off - all the way off
