Malcontents focus on Europe
I guess the terrorists haven’t taken time off from their escapades. There was a report of an attempted ETA attack in northern Spain on Sunday, the day after four ETA members were arrested. Monday, Denmark scooped up a couple of the sociopaths and today Germany halted an attack still in the planning phase on the German Frankfurt Airport and US’ Ramstein Air Base. Swedish Muslims (what are they doing in Sweden, for Pete’s sake?) are gearing up for protests there. The Dutch have their own problems with Filipino communists as well as Muslims.
So, I guess the Danes, Germans and Spanish are all in cahoots with Bush these days to spread the fear of terrorism. That’s what the Left says whenever a fledgling terrorist group gets scooped up here in the States – that the President is just trying to terrorize citizens into voting Republican (you’d think he’d get the timing a little better, though, and schedule the arrests near elections or something).
Yeah, the terrorists are fairly incompetent – but look where they come from, look at their ideology. They’re living in the 7th Century, they’re witing for a 1200-year-old Imam to rise from his magic well – you can’t expect them to be very competent when they have the minds of childrens. Yeah, they’ll get successful occasionally and they’ll probably get better (luckily, the few who live to learn from their failures are in Guantanamo) it’s inevitable. That’s why it’s best to kill them before they get much better – in droves – in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But Europeans should be asking themselves why they’re the targets when we all know that those radicals want to target the US. It might be because it’s too costly to strike the US these days. The terrorists can just bide their time until next fall when they might get a President of the US likely to strike at real targets and do real damage to their operations.
The Europeans, in the meantime, have proven to be handwringers who won’t face the truth or the problems in their own countries. I suggest that their terror problems stem from their weak-kneed reactions to pointless protests and “youths” who burn cars in their streets.
I dunno – just thinking outloud.
Just ventured out on the net for the first time today and it seems everyone’s talking about the “homegrown” German terrorists;
Once again terrorist attackers in the West are linked to Al Qaeda in Pakistan, and not, notably, Al Qaeda in Iraq. Our very tough, strong liberal war critics may argue this indicates that Al Qaeda in Iraq won’t “follow us home” if we stop fighting in Iraq, but this seems a farcical claim. Of course the Arab branch of Al Qaeda would be plotting against us at home were they not engaged with us more directly on what they consider more friendly ground.
Under the stating-the-obvious heading, the suspects are said to have a “profound hatred of U.S. citizens.”
Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive;
America-hating is a long popular pastime around the world, but we need to focus on any of these folks who decide to take action. I haven’t seen any indications that there has been an overall increase in terrorist acts around the world, outside of Iraq. In Iraq we have had the privilege to return thousands of America-hating fanatics back to room temp, and none of them are back home now bragging to their buddies about how coll it is to go Crusader hunting along the banks of the banks of the Euphrates.
Pamela Geller from Atlas Shrugs:
The three Islamic terrorists busted today in Germany fiercelynhate America. How long before Pelosi and Reid ask them to lunch?
All stuff I’d say if I didn’t have to work so durn hard today.
