"We have contained them (ISIS)" - Barack Obama on Friday 11/13

That's a different story. Hungary has borders with NON-EU countries. You can seal those borders. But you can't seal borders between EU countries.

Think of it like this. California can close its border with Mexico. It can't close its border with Nevada.

Chezch Repub refusing migrants too. They are surrounded by EU countries.

As they should be. It's about time that countries started standing up to the EU.

Open borders is the dumbest idea ever.. After seeing these refugees first hand I feel sorry for all the cities being ruined by these scumbags..
They line the streets begging and camping and waiting out for a stupid govt to give them residency or welfare. If not, off to the next place..

Germany the stupid soft c0cks still embarrassed about ww2 letting in so many of them, enjoy your slums. Sweden taking on what, 80,000 and they think it's going to boost there economy ?

The average person in Europe is furious you have to feel bad for them. What makes it worse is half these pieces of shit have money, they are buying tickets etc, they all have smart phones, cash, clothes etc. They have no idea who they're letting in

Sounds similar to Bush landing on the aircraft carrier and declaring "mission accomplished!" during the Iraq war.

We all know what happened after that.

[bladefd]

Let's be fair, if Obumma was white you wouldn't be saying shit about all this.

Your "White men are the terrorists" narrative is clear to see here.

Have you been watching Fox News? Fox has been very quick in recent times to make white men seem like victims in all this when nobody is blaming white men other than ISIS.

I heard Obama say yet again that this will take a long time....really? It shouldn't take a long time at all if your real concern is too quell ISIS, who isn't a big force to begin with. I can imagine that U.S. leadership/military from WW2 could defeat ISIS faster than Obama. It's the will to get something done, Obama doesn't have any will.

[UK2K]

He's right though. This is the second mass shooting (both terrorist acts) in France, and both shut the country down completely because they are not used to stuff like that happening.

Wanna know how many mass shootings the U.S. has seen this year alone?

Compare gun deaths in France with gun deaths in the U.S.

Where was he wrong?

Gun deaths in this country, when counted for political reasons, would be half the actual number, but suicides are counted.

Obama's speech today has us shaking our head. He got defensive and found a way to blame Americans for their reservations on bringing over Syrian refugees.

This guy is the devil incarnate.

1. Get a paper bag. (Not a plastic bag!)
2. Place the paper bag over your mouth and nose completely.
3. Hold the bag with one hand towards the opening of the bag.
4. Breathe in and out of the bag.
6. Try to remain calm and breathe as naturally and completely as you can during an episode of hyperventilation.
5. Take no more than 6-12 breaths using the paper bag.
6. After taking 6-12 breaths remove the bag from your mouth and nose and breathe without it.

He probably was talking about the Caliphate, not some random sleeper cell terrorists in Paris.

The U.S. backed up the Peshmerga and Yazidi when they took back the Sinjar and cut off a major road between ISIS strongholds in Iraq and Syria on Friday.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/14/wo...tate.html?_r=0

Highway 47 allowed ISIS to travel freely and move supplies efficiently between Iraq and Syria. They controlled the region for 15 months. Now that route has been cut off, therefore 'containing' ISIS.

This is truth, the Peshmerga was our/their best hope at a moderate-leaning sustainable army in the region and they have been recently winning some major keystone victories.

Don going to work in this thread.

Whoa, let's slow down here. The Kurds are not moderates. They're fighting ISIS, but in the same kind of way that the Taliban were fighting the soviets. I think we should arm the Kurds for now, but let's not act like they're the Swiss or something.

Uhhh.... Looks like the islamophobia-phobia brigade is out in full force. (I.e. An irrational fear of islamophobia)


How come EVERYTIME one of these things happens, these "the sky is falling" types come out hysterical about some mythical landslide of "islamophobia"? Are these people genuine or are they putting this act on for other purposes?

There are definitely issues with racism in the police force. Probably some element of neo-nazi connection, they will flock to positions of power to carry out their sinister intentions.


I'll give you that.


But don't play into the victim mode. You will never get past it and accept that this is just a group of white supremacist nut jobs trying to cause division like ISIS

[Nick Young]

This will go down in history as being as stupid anything George W. Bush has ever said.
