Yes...one is a picture from a desert and one is from a city.

I suppose you feel this means OJ is innocent?

NO ONE doesn't notice women and kids vs men. What is your point pretending not to?

C'mon Paul...it's one picture of one point in time. It doesn't prove a thing.

There are basically three reasons that I object to increasing the number of refugees that we receive as a result of this crisis:

• We become active participants in the ethnic cleansing of Syria
• Culturally, these immigrants are pre-disposed to settle conflict by way of genocide. The only thing that really distinguishes them from Assad and the Alawites is that they are on the wrong side of the knife (or barrel bomb, or WMD) in this case... that's more of a cultural difference than just the difference between Christians in the West and Muslims in the Middle East. This is essentially part of the same country that produced similar resolution at the Sabra and Shatilla camps in the 1980s, then at the hands of Lebanese Christians.
• The security risk and opportunity for ISIS to act on its threats against the west is pretty obvious
  

The Obama administration has been played by Assad and his Iranian allies at every single turn through this conflict, and this refugee crisis is yet another example of the naivety and miscalculations of this administration.

I would do nothing more than say "well admit 15% of the number of refugees that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States take in (not counting foreign workers allowed to over-stay their visas). In the best case, that would force the Saudis' hand to actually show some compassion and leadership. In reality, it would cap the increase at zero, because the Saudis aren't going to allow their country to be destabilized and they aren't foolish enough to allow Assad to play them like Obama/Kerry have.

It is simply an unfortunate fact that compassion toward innocent victims encourages and enables the ethnic cleansing of Syria and has a likelihood of causing real harm to western societies.

Assad Regime Fans Refugee Crisis - WSJ

http://on.wsj.com/1MpTqKP Wrote:The West has focused largely on those fleeing Islamic State and its atrocities, but Mr. Assad’s regime hasn’t relented with the intimidation and force it has used since the start of the conflict more than four years ago: detention, torture and mandatory drafting into the army for military-age men, along with starvation and an aerial bombing campaign of opposition-held areas. His government has also offered subtle incentives to leave, such as an easier time obtaining a Syrian passport and less hassle booking flights to foreign countries.

The regime’s tactics are pushing out its opponents and those perceived hostile to Mr. Assad, while friendlier groups are rebuilding from the wreckage of war. The cumulative results are broader demographic change designed to tighten Mr. Assad’s hold over the few places he still controls.

Many Syrians say the Assad regime, along with the Iran-backed Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, is specifically targeting Syria’s Sunni Arab majority. Syria’s rebels are mostly Sunni, while those defending the regime are mainly members of Mr. Assad’s Shiite-linked Alawite minority and Shiite foreign fighters.

Hey look guys. The Marine was used to further someone's agenda.

In other images taken at the same time, the border police’s blue uniforms can clearly be seen with “Australian Customs and Border Protection” written on them.

Marine?

BTW - Not surprising, but Fox 'news' is also lying to you. Are you guys ever going to wake up to their propaganda?

Relevant portion starts at 1:50 in the video linked here:
John Oliver Lays Into Fox News Over Anti-Muslim Refugee Warning

The people wearing winter clothes should have been their first clue.

John Oliver's take was a joke. Unimpressed. Even reddit wasn't amused by it.
