    Unless it is Obama. He would wonder why we can't all get along. Or order the justice dept not to go after them.

    Would not want to hurt their feelings now,,,,,,

    Mexico can't stop 100's of thousands of unarmed women, children, and peasants from traversing their country to get to our border so a division of heavily armed radical Moslems would get here in a cake walk. Initial advances into Texas would be relatively unopposed as the border areas have a higher percentage of residents who are here for the money and not for any particular love of country so initial resistance would be light as Obama golfs and Kerry sends out diplomatic feelers. I assume their targets would be the South Texas 1 and 2 nuclear power plants in Baytown or the refineries on the Houston shipping channel in order hold America hostage so it would be a dash by the Arabs to take and hold their targets. Once safely ensconced in the nuclear power plants they would be safe from air and ground attack and would surround themselves with hundreds of hostages. Same with the oil refineries. It's about 400 hundred miles from McAllen to Bay Town so ISIS would send an initial heavily armed assault group to take an hold their objectives while the main party followed closely behind. Feints would be sent up other corridors in Texas to sow panic and clog all the highways with refugees while disguising their actual objectives. In 8 hours, it would all be over. Allah Akbar bitches!

    Possible although I doubt it would hold in the long run. Assuming they could move fast enough to do this before citizenry responded? Maybe they could do as much? Assuming such a thing came to pass word would travel fast, and IF the citizenry knew they didn't need to fear retaliation from government at any level for defending themselves? Hadji might find they're not too well received....
    Once they're there, they still have to eat, sleep, crap, etc. That requires logistical support, try that in the face of the public here after multiple massacres or other such atrocities done along the way.
    Most of the videos I've seen of hadji in the middle east seem to be them standing around in the open while doing thier thing. Either thier victims are unarmed and helpless or for whatever reason they're able to stand around in the open.
    I doubt they'd be able to behave as such given it isn't that difficult to make a 300 yd shot with just about any off-the-shelf bolt action with even moderate quality glass on it. At 300 yds, there is damn little in the way of bonafide cover when it's something like that in 308 nato or 30.06. Even an AR with glass on it can do that range on a fairly effective basis, hadji hasn't yet faced an entire populace such as that......yet.
    The only thing stopping that and currently is would be government power to retaliate against ordinary citizens for acting in bonafide self-defense.

    Bit o truth.
    Consider your company parking lot.
    Think about it for a minute.

    5 come in the front waving weapons.
    2 minutes later, 3 of your coworkers come in the same door, firing.

    At least, I know my office and coworkers.

    Would you be able to fight off a brigade of Hadjis armed with RPG's, recoiless rifles, grenades, DsHKs, satchel charges, and Stinger missiles?

    I guess the least one could do is try, after all, what would be the alternative to not trying? You are looking at death either way.

    This wouldn't happen, but as a side note ISIS is already working cartels. Opium production feeds them money.

    We seem to be forgetting about Air power here. Remember desert storm and the Highway to Irag. I did not see any heavily armored vehicles Isis has . Toyota Hi-Lux does not Stand a chance against a fighter wing. I am pretty sure we would retain Air superoirity over the US.

    Air superiority would be easy to negate, simply place U.S. citizens in all the vehicles.

    Just wanted you to know how simpleminded your posts usually are. Figured pictures would be easier for you to understand.
    That's funny coming from a guy who's best response is to cut and paste a picture, by the way, do your parents know you're using their computer to be rude to adults on the Internet?

    I dont think we should be as concerned about radical Islamists openly invading from the south as we should be about the less "sexy" scenario of our socialist government trying to change the population of this country to one that is accepting of oppression (so long as there is security) so as to better gain control.
