The Washington Times<\/a> reports that foreign jihadists are flocking to Syria in greater numbers than they did when the Afghans were fighting the Soviets in the 1980s. The worry is that they’ll return to their home countries with training, confidence and weapons that will cause more problems than we saw in the early years of this century;<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clearly more serious today than ever before,\u201d [Michael Scheuer, a former CIA analyst] testified at a congressional hearing in Washington last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey return with confidence that victory is possible. They and their colleagues now know that they inflicted humiliating defeats on the United States military in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that knowledge will boost both spirits and recruitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they come home with a list of contacts among their fellow mujahedeen from whom they can seek advice or more material forms of assistance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, this administration is looking at the problem day-by-day instead of looking into the future, just as previous administrations have done;<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been very vocal and clear in denouncing the presence of all foreign fighters,\u201d State Department spokesman Edgar Vasquez said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boy, that’ll teach ’em. As I’ve said, and you’ve said previously, the only thing we can do at this point is make sure that they have enough guns and ammo to wipe each other out. They want to kill the shit out of each other and we need to make sure that they have means to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
