White House: Some Islamic State fighters have returned to U.S.

White House officials on Monday acknowledged for the first time that Americans who’ve fought alongside the Islamic State terrorist group in Syria and Iraq have returned to the U.S., raising concerns about an attack on the homeland as President Obama prepares to urge the United Nations to confront the threat overseas.

Counterterrorism experts believe at least 100 Americans have traveled to the Middle East to join the terrorist group, and a senior administration official said the total includes “those who’ve gone, those who’ve tried to go, some who’ve come back and are under active [investigation] — the FBI is looking at them.”

In a little-noticed speech last week, one lawmaker said as many as 40 radicalized Americans have returned to the U.S. after fighting with the Islamic State.

If they know they left for that reason, why even let them step foot back on US soil? We have nothing but REJECTS as elected officials and government employees.

The US is loaded with people who think someplace else is much better for one reason or the other.When they find out otherwise they think they can just waltz back in unnoticed.

Arrest them for treason. Put them in the same lockup with Obama because he is protecting them.

"O" may have asked them here. He does not care about us at all. My question is who do they hate more blacks or whites? If we had a real man in "OUR" white house how would things be different? I think it would be much better. map
