Isis Fighters Flee to Syria On Instinct                    By: Kyzelle Jones


   Many Islamic State foreign fighters and they're families have left Syria, escaping the "American-led Campaign"(U.S forces sent by ex-President Obama during his second term to deal with offensives in Iraq). Using escape routes such as Syrian army lines to then hide in Damascus, who are now waiting for orders from insurgent leaders through channels that are encrypted. In addition to that, it has been discovered that battle ready individuals trained in chemical warfare have abandoned their Country just to join an Al Qaeda division located in Syria. A vice chairman, General Paul J. Selva, soon states that "Jihadist's are going underground, dispersing to other safe havens, including on the internet, and returning to their home countries". Jihadist's should not have the ability to just disperse and disappear when necessary. Some form of pressing Militant defense must be put in place enable to force a lock down, to stop any Jihadist or individuals from fleeing using any method.
   The concern is, since America are the World's "Freedom Fighters" is Donald Trump going to put a campaign into affect to stop this from happening? If he does, how would America respond towards this decision passed by the Congress originating from Donald Trump? Being that something needs to be put in place, does this trace back to Obama's decision in 2014 of putting the American-led Campaign?

  1. I think that Trump is gonna put stop them from leaving based on his character he wants to avoid any problems with foreign states but his choice of words isn't the greatest. I think America would be more horrified that in the Islam people point of view they want to go home and we are taking that privileged from them. I think that he will find a way to go around Obama's plan but a twist to it so he can have the glory.

  2. Knowing Donald Trump's behavior and his idealism of what an American is, he most definitely will try to step in and stop the jihadist from doing what they please. Also with the Jihadist being able to disappear so easily shouldn’t be able to happen. But my real concern about this is how the Syrian government is gonna handle help from America. In the past American troops were not welcomed to other country such as Iraq when they were hunting down Bin Laden. The Senate has had certain problems handling our foreign fears. I also do think that there will be a bill that adds on to Obama’s American led Campaign just to help reinforce the lock down on Jihadist.

    1. Being that Donald Trump wants to so called get America back on it's feet, I honestly don't feel as is he'll do anything about because it costs money and time. Donald Trump is a business man who invests time and money into things he will benefit in so if America is his product I honestly don't see why Donald Trump would care about this. If Donald Trump were to act on this, I feel that he'd let this problem climax and just blame it on the Democratic party because this was ex-president Obama's idea.

  3. I think that Trump with glorify this situation where as I think he would do something for this situation but do it just to show that he is doing it but not for the benefit for the people. I say this because Trump has put himself in a hole where he has no choice but to prove himself to the American people. I also feel that Trump will extort these people to also show foreign countries that he is a trustworthy president. But I also feel due to his past comments about foreign people he will stop America’s help. This is important to Government because it shows how a person or a president can change the lives of people but it leaves to the question of will they.

  4. I believe that Trump will in fact try to put a stop to this and like Richard said, sort of big himself up. Praising himself like nobody else observed this trend and brought it to the country’s attention. I also believe that he will put a stop to this as Trump has a huge issue with minding his own business. This is something very huge and if the government doesn’t plan to at least observe this, threats can sneak across any borders ultimately causing extreme harm to whatever country they may go to.
