Honduras arrests five Syrians headed to US with stolen passports

[Lebron23]

[quote]Tegucigalpa (AFP) - Honduran authorities have arrested five Syrians intending to make it to the United States with stolen Greek passports, triggering alarm Wednesday in the wake of the Paris attacks launched by Syria-linked jihadists.

The Syrians were arrested on Tuesday as they flew into Toncontin airport serving the Honduran capital and failed to make it past airport security checks, a police spokesman, Anibal Baca, told reporters.

"Five Syrian citizens have been detained and will be taken to our offices to be investigated because it is suspected they are carrying false documents, passports stolen in Greece," Baca said.

They had traveled by air from Syria to Lebanon, then to Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica and on to Honduras.

From there they were to make their way to Honduras' second city of San Pedro Sula with the aim of going overland through Guatemala, then Mexico and on to the United States, Baca told AFP.

The reasons for the Syrians' trip were not immediately known, and Honduran police were considering the possibility that they were refugees fleeing the war in Syria.

That's what I always wonder about all these terrorists. I thought the middle east was poor as fvck except for the corrupt government officials? How do all these dudes get all this time to go mobbing around and shit, and planning out terror strikes and traveling around the western world?? Usually poor people's time is extremely occupied with just trying to survive. Farming is hard ass work, same with workin in factories or whatever basic lower level economic occupations. Who's givin all these dudes money?? How do they have all this free time??

ISIS is ballin out of control. They sell the oil they captured to enemies like Assad. They make upwards of $2 million dollars per day from that. They also get millions more from wealthy patrons in places like Saudi Arabia (our 'allies') who support their cause. With only 20-30,000 people officially in their organization... Those dudes are eating well.

I see.

So why don't we stop trying to just low-key, little-by-little, passively keep ourselves mildly inserted into the oil affairs over there while pretending our business is about some other purpose of 'liberating the freedom, and hunting the boogieman' and just immediately murder the fuuk out of everyone associated with ISIS and take that oil for OURSELVES.

From the liberal, atheist, evolutionary perspective... why should we not do that?

Like the Trumpster wanted, we're already bombing the shit out of their oil supplies (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/17/world/middleeast/us-strikes-syria-oil.html)

But what most people don't understand is that ISIS isn't just a random band of desert-dwelling terrorists, they've sent up an actual government that taxes the populations of cities/territories they've taken over. That's where the majority of their revenue comes from. They also took all the money from banks in major cities they captured. In 2014 alone, they raked in $1.2 billion outside of their oil interests ($650 million from taxation/extortion, $550 million stolen from Iraqi banks). They have a very lucrative trade in relics and antiques they've looted (the ones that they didn't stupidly destroy :facepalm ).

They have varied sources of income and are expanding and diversifying rapidly. So even if we destroyed or appropriated their oil interests, they'd still have plenty of money to keep their operations going.

These dudes have been kicking our asses for over a decade in Iraq, back when we had like 170K boots on the ground there and they were just a ragtag group of insurgents. They are infinitely stronger now and completely control some of those same areas we were in along with their new territories in Syria.

You won't be seeing any American boots on the ground any time soon. Our best bet seems to be trying to disrupt their economy and supporting the Peshmerga and other groups on the ground. This war will go on for years, even with the entry of Russia/France. And of course the bullshit with Assad and the Civil War obviously won't help matters.

Just a complete cluster f*ck that really, we should just wash our hands of and move on.

Not these lil firecracker ass "take out a little hut" bomb thatll just make them feisty like when you spit on a ant hill.

I agree, but I hope you're not insinuating that airstrikes/military intervention has no purpose in re-stabilizing the middle east... There are sides to be played in this mess and we obviously can't pick them all...

Right-wing nut jobs and Islamic extremists are pretty much the same thing--the similarities are eerie:

1. Oppose equal rights for homosexuals. CHECK
2. Don’t trust the United States government. CHECK
3. Believe abortion is murder. CHECK
4. Want a nation based on theocracy. CHECK
5. Believe women should be subservient to men. CHECK
6. Think our education system should be based on religion instead of science. CHECK
7. Want to oppress the religious freedoms for every religion besides theirs. CHECK
8. Oppose access to contraceptives. CHECK
9. Aren’t opposed to a violent overthrow of the federal government. CHECK

10. Favor complete annihilation of their enemies, civilian casualties be damned. CHECK

They're the same shit!

:applause: this will be the only fkn way these mkers 'listen' .. the only way .. they've gotten too big at this point .. they're not relinquishing power without drastic measures .. nukes are about as drastic as you can get though .. what about the ramifications of fallout and shit like that ? I don't know .. but I agree these little bombing missions taking out little buildings here and there isn't doing shit

Leftist tree huggers are just like ISIS, at least, the similarities are eerie:

1) Want to oppress religious freedom for all, except theirs (or their lack of). Believe in restricting religious freedom. CHECK
2) Will try and force people to think as they do. CHECK
3) Believe in indoctrination and distorting the past in schools. CHECK
4) Pick and choose which laws to enforce. CHECK
5) If you don't believe in the things they do, you are the enemy. CHECK
6) Wishes to stamp out free speech. CHECK
7) Believe in taking what doesn't belong to them. CHECK
8) Implements laws despite the rejection of the populace. CHECK
9) Believe you have no personal rights. CHECK
10) Believe the 'master' (or president or leader) will take care of you. CHECK

Really, you could replace ISIS with the Nazis and all of the above will hold true.
