Obama not ‘reconsidering’ plan to bring in Syrian refugees

The French had been getting more involved in attacks on ISIS in Syria, including blowing up a training camp in September.

The operative, a Syrian in his thirties with a close-cropped black beard, said ISIS is sending covert fighters to Europe – as did two smugglers who said they have helped.

Approximately six vibrant, but virtually unprotected, locales across the city on a peaceful Friday evening – cafes, a sports stadium, a music venue – came under attack as Islamist militants threw grenades, carried out suicide bombings and shot hostages dead in their tracks in a whirlwind of violence that paralyzed Paris, leaving 127 or more dead and 180 wounded.

That is a switch from Rubio’s other statements this fall, in which he voiced skepticism about proper vetting but still left the door open to admitting refugees.

Not everyone shares Rhodes confidence.

Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley – said the USA should admit far more than the 10,000 Syrians to which Obama has committed, but only with proper screening.

“The question is, really, will this change the British Parliament?” a U.S. official said. The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security has scheduled a hearing Thursday on the Syrian refugee crisis and its implications for USA security.

Clinton chided him for including Jordan in the list, saying it was “very unfair” to include the kingdom – one of only two Arab states with a peace treaty with Israel – because it has suffered for the lead it has taken against extremist Islamist groups. ISIS said the attacks were over Syria and both AFP and BFMTV reported one gunman yelled “It’s for Syria” and “Allah Akbar” at one of the sites of the attacks. “Right now, there is no responsible way to do the vetting, and that’s the reality”. “As well as my grave concern about the unreported diffusion of Syrian refugees in the United States”.

Last month, Republican presidential contender Donald Trump referred to the Syrian refugees as a “Trojan horse”. “It would be in Iraq”, Carson said. “We all have heart, and we all want people taken care of and all that, but a few of them are going to have problems, big problems. This growing threat is a failure of USA foreign policy, and if the Administration does not get more serious about combatting it, our nation and our people will pay a grave price”.

The Paris attack comes less than a week after France’s military said a French airstrike had targeted an oil distribution center in Syria controlled by Islamic State militants in an attempt to cut a crucial source of the group’s funding.

ISIS stated that the attacks were a retaliation for France’s campaign against them.
