Want to sneak into a European country and wreak havoc? Just pose as a poor refugee. It seems to work for many, though this group of eight did not have as much luck.
Eight alleged members of an extremist ISIS group were detained by police in Istanbuls Atarurk Airport on Tuesday.
The plot to sneak into Europe, posing as refugees was foiled, as police grabbed them after they had flown from Morocco into Turkey.
The police were told that these men were just tourists spending a few days in Istanbul, but upon investigation, no rooms had been booked under their names. They also found on one of the suspects a hand-written note describing the route to take from Istanbul to Germany, and Serbia to Hungary. Included in this plan was smuggler boats across the Mediterranean and various trains and buses for travel.

America’s Veterans would like to thank the Republican Congress for your support.
In a shameful display of partisan obstruction, the Mitch McConnell led Senate Republicans a blocked a bill that would have improved veterans benefits.
Senate Republicans blocked the veterans bill by using a procedural maneuver to invoke the 60 vote rule. The final vote to waive the budget point of order failed, 56-41. Only two Republicans (Sen. Dean Heller and Sen. Jerry Moran) joined with Democrats on the vote.
Republicans claimed that they blocked the bill because Majority Leader Harry Reid would not allow an up or down vote on an amendment that would have attached sanctions on Iran to the bill.
Sen. Reid said, “I hope all the veterans groups have witnessed all the contortions the Republicans have done to defeat this bill. Shame on Republicans for bringing base politics into a bill to help veterans.”
The chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, Sen. Bernie Sanders, said,
The only message that can be taken away from today’s vote is that Senate Republicans think it is more important to deny President Obama a “win” than it is to help our nation’s veterans. The bill contained provisions that would restore the COLA for vets, and protect them from losing their benefits in the event of another government shutdown. It also would have authorized the construction of 27 new clinics and medical facilities, and it would have provided tuition assistance to post-9/11 vets.
It is the kind of legislation that used to be a no brainer, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the same group of Republicans who think that they shouldn’t have to pay the nation’s bills also want to renege on their obligations to our veterans.
Senate Republicans committed a disgraceful betrayal of the promise that has been made to those who put their lives on the line for this country. I hope this is a wake up call for vets who think that the Republican Party has their interests at heart.
The Republican Party doesn’t care about veterans. This vote stabbed veterans in the back, and should make every vet question why they would ever vote Republican.
