Terrorism Alert: This Is Not Good

From Fox News: A nationwide alert has been issued for 17 members of the Afghan military who have gone AWOL from a Texas Air Force base where foreign military officers who are training to become pilots are taught English, FoxNews.com has learned.
More disturbing: "I can confirm that 17 have gone missing from the Defense Language Institute," said Gary Emery, Chief of Public Affairs, 37th Training Wing, at Lackland AFB. "They disappeared over the course of the last two years, and none in the last three months."

So, we have 17 Afghan military personnel possibly roaming the U.S.. Considering that the Taliban have infiltrated the Afghan military, it is certainly possible that these 17 AWOL Afghans are part of the Taliban. Further, it would not be difficult for these 17 to blend into the large Muslim communities in the United States.
This apparently or possibly started during the Bush administration. Considering how much the Obama likes to blame the Bush administration, they could be fudging these numbers as well.
However, most of the time, it has been on the Obama administration. When it became apparent that people were going AWOL, this program should have been stopped or put more restrictions on the participants of the program. If any terrorism happens from these 17, it will be on the Obama administration.
