That attack on US airmen in Germany
I knew if I waited long enough to write about this, it’d be more than “an altercation on a bus” like it was being reported in the early moments;
The suspect, Arif Uka, is said to be a Muslim man with family in Kosovo who was born in Germany and was working at the airport at the time of the attack. He reportedly said “Allah Akbar” before opening fire on a bus outside the airport, a source told Fox News. The deadly attack also wounded two others before the man was taken into custody.
American officials in Washington told the New York Times that there was no immediate evidence tying the gunman to a terrorist organization. German police originally said that they had no such evidence either, although they didn’t rule out the possibility of a link.
But a member of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Patrick Meehan, said in Washington that it looked like a terrorist attack, though he noted that he still was being briefed on the details of the shooting.
I expect someone like VoteVets to charge that it’s Bush’s fault because he didn’t up-armor the Blue Bird buses while he was president.

“…there was no immediate evidence tying the gunman to a terrorist organization.”
Muslim male from Kosovo + Shouts “Allah Akbar before opening fire on unarmed US servicemen = a MUSLIM terrorist.
Whether or not he’s affiliated with a Muslim terrorist organization is certainly of interest to the LE, Intel and AT communities, and intellectually stimulating for others, but when you get right down to it…it really doesn’t matter.
Color me surprised…not.
Prayers out for the servicemen involved.
gosh.
I wonder what on earth could have caused him to act in such a matter?
I am sure the President will get right on this.
Dutch–no doubt the pres__ent will claim the German police, “acted stupidly.”
