Five Syrian men who caused international alarm when they were stopped in Central America on their way to the United States were only caught because their flight was delayed, Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively.

If the last Avianca Airlines flight from San Jose, Costa Rica, to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, had not been held up on Tuesday, the men would have been free to travel on.

But it was so late they missed their connecting flight to the northern Honduras city of San Pedro Sula, just 20 miles from the border. From there they planned to cross into Guatemala and travel by land through Mexico to the United States.

They may not be considered terrorists, but since they could do it, couldn't actual terrorists do the same thing they did?

They could.  Another problem I have is in the description that they aren't considered terrorists - I don't trust or believe anything I hear in the news anymore.  Zero credibility with me.  That means that even totally innocent refugees that are legitimately trying to escape persecution cannot be trusted because the news medias brazenly lie, twist and omit the truth to suit their agendas.

Not only that, but where are the women? Why aren't men rescuing their women and children?

Huge red flag for me.  Honorable people send their families out of harm's way and remain to fight for their homeland.  Extremely disturbing.

Not from the many pictures I've seen.  Who am I going to believe - Lying Joe or my lying eyes?

According to the United Nations, 72% of Syrian refugees entering Europe are men...according to this picture at the Hungarian/Austrian border, it's edging closer to 100%!
