You want to keep toying with the middle east and supporting regimes like Saudi Arabia, Saddam Hussien, Hosni Mubarak (egypt). You are going to get slapped back. Terrorism is wrong but you have to remember for ever action there is a reaction. Why do we support the dictators that turn a blind eye to terrorism. We as Americans help fund terrorism by continuing to buy oil from the oil rich regimes. Why are we still talking to Saudi Arabia? Oil. Bush loves it and will continue dealing with them. Can u imagine if we spent the money that we are in Iraq to help produce an alternative fuel so that we wouldnt have to rely on them? What a concept! You texans love that Saudi Regime you are part of the problem.

Good post.

How soon people forget that we supplied weapons to Iran a few decades ago, and that we supported the Afghani Muhajadeen (sp) so they could fight against the Russians. The very people we are fighting today were people the American government was in bed with just a few decades ago. The US supplied weapons to Iran (Iran contra affair). Bush (senior and junior) have been in bed with Saudi oil pins, and they are merely puppets.

And now for a word from our sponsors.




Eight terrorist suspects arrested in Denmark had links to Al-Qaeda - police
09.04.07, 8:54 AM ET



COPENHAGEN (Thomson Financial) - Danish police said they had prevented a terrorist attack with the arrest overnight near Copenhagen of eight men believed to be linked to Al-Qaeda, and suspected of possessing bomb materials.
The director general of the Danish intelligence service PET, Jakob Scharf, told a press conference: 'We would describe the main suspects as militant Islamists with international contacts, including leading members of Al-Qaeda.'
Scharf would not disclose any information about the possible target of the planned attack, but said there was 'no direct link' to Denmark's military involvement in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Police raided 11 homes in the early hours of Tuesday.
'We made our move now because we had gathered enough evidence to make an arrest, and because several of the suspects had created an unstable explosive in a densely populated housing area,' Scharf said.
The eight, aged 19 to 28, were of foreign backgrounds from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Turkey, and six of the eight held Danish citizenship, Scharf said.
Two of the men were to be presented before a judge on Tuesday and could be placed in temporary detention.
This is the third time in two years Danish police have conducted operations resulting in the arrests of suspected terrorists.

Ahhhh...and just what alternative fuel do you propose that will be readily available and economical? You talk as though a little money (or a lot for that matter) and effort towards that direction will make it happen overnight...well...it won't. People smarter than you or me have been working on it for years,,,there is no answer yet. So, like it or not the world's economy runs on oil...and if Bush were gone tomorrow that would not change, so quit blaming everything on on big bad Bush. Have you ever considered what your life without oil would be like? You wouldn't like it very much.

So please fill us in on the quick solution. My Master's degree in Chemistry is awaiting your ready solution to the quest for an alternative fuel.

 

[Hvy]

And you, sir, are angry because you can't get that "Bush/Cheney '04" sticker off your bumper.

That must chap your hide to see people driving around reminding you of Kerry's (where is he now)defeat.

 

[Hvy]

Africa has needed help for a LONG time, and the US has never bothered with Darfur. Do you know how many MILLIONS have been killed, maimed, and/or displaced?? No one raised a finger for them. Make no mistake... the Bush cowboy (both dad and son) will act for whatever interests best suits the Republican party and oil corporations.


It's beyong me why people have to be paranoid and hate, distrust, and fear all 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. Why can't be as Americans just be vigilant? Not paranoid, but vigilant.

You do realize that Darfur is a slaughter of thousands by Muslims, don't you?

 

[siucavflight]

Good for her, speak English in America and you will not have this problem.
And Dearborn MI, is a breeding ground for terrorist here in the US.

 

[pkober]

My point was that although the US gives lots of aid as a superpower, we often don't get involved unless US interests are directly involved. That helps to explain our heavy presence in the Middle East, and virtually none in Africa. Also, investigate the links between Bush and the Saudi Royal family.

Can you imagine what SA would be like if the royal family were removed. Osama Bin Ladan has made that one of his priorities. If that happens and another Iran like regime gets into SA then what?

Oil is a fact of life. Don't think that only Republicans are addicted to oil. Democrats are also. I don't remember any major advances in alternative fuels during the Bubba years. Hopefully we will get a big enough public push to get home made fuels so we can get away from the mid east. Until we as consumers speak with our wallet it will never happen.

If you mention the Bush/royal family connection then don't forget the Clinton/Chinese (another very repressive regime) connection. We could have a repeat of the 90's China connection if we aren't careful in 08.

 

[Flyer1015]

Yeah, Islam is a religion of "peace".

Looking at the actions of 8 radical Danish Muslim terrorists to label an entire religion of 1.5 billion Muslims doesn't say much about your own intelligence.

Ahhhh...and just what alternative fuel do you propose that will be readily available and economical? You talk as though a little money (or a lot for that matter) and effort towards that direction will make it happen overnight...well...it won't. People smarter than you or me have been working on it for years,,,there is no answer yet.

So please fill us in on the quick solution. My Master's degree in Chemistry is awaiting your ready solution to the quest for an alternative fuel.

You're missing the point. Oil is one of two big US interests in the Middle East. The Bushes (Sr + Jr) are in bed with oil king pins of Saudi Arabia. Plus, the Republicans must satisfy oil corporations and corporate leaders, and never have them held accountable for anything... like how Ted Stevens dismissed a democratic call to swear in oil corporate people during a session.

That must chap your hide to see people driving around reminding you of Kerry's (where is he now)defeat.

Nope! On the contrary, the Bush-Cheney sticker chaps the hide of ALL those who voted for them in 2004, but now REGRET that decision due to the continual f*** ups of this current administration.

You do realize that Darfur is a slaughter of thousands by Muslims, don't you?

Well, it's true that the Second Sudanese Civil War was fought primarily between Muslim (in north) and Christian and Animist (in south) But almost all of the combatants and victims in Darfur are Muslim. But the cause of the conflict is not religion, as you seem to infer. The causes are fast population growth, desertification, environmental calamity, political opportunism, and to some degree, regional politics.

And Dearborn MI, is a breeding ground for terrorist here in the US.

Siucav, I'm shocked to hear this kind of thing from you. People who say that are 1. Never been to Dearborn, and 2. Don't know anybody from Dearborn. Do you really want to know the breeding ground for terrorism in the United States? It's the White House. Due to the actions of the Bush administration in the White House, there are now MORE terrorists in this world, despite Bush's remarks that the world is now 'more safer.'

 

[puddlejumper101]

There were 8 years between HW Bush and W Bush. It was called the Clinton years. Nothing was done in Africa during that time. We are always told that Dems are for the minorities, especially during elections. The Bushes didn't, and havent, acted because there is no oil there, right? Why then did Clinton not act? I think there were a few murders in Rowanda during the Clinton years. I'm sure those were Bush's fault also.

Africa has plenty of oil. So with your line of thinking we should be in Africa now.

If Iraq is all about oil, why haven't oild prices dropped? Let me guess, Haliburton is raising prices to make a profit for Cheney.

While I was just a lurker on this particular thread, I could not help but bring somethig up. You can blame Clinton all you want but the problem was, and still is a certain group called Al-Queda. Last I heard Al-Queda is up and running...6 years after 9/11...why??????????? That's what REALLY bothers me...and thats the problem I have with Bush and all of his cronies. We have done NOTHING about the problem except invade Iraq and make more problems. That stinken organization should have been history already. Had we invested all of the resources and efforts on Al-Queada instead of Iraq...we might not be having this conversation. Clinton made mistakes...but Bush has done NOTHING to fix the real problem. As long as Al-Queda is up and running, Iraq will never get fixed...why? Because they booby trap every accomplishment the U.S. makes over there. No progress will be made there...and it will only get worse. How do you fix Iraq???? Eradicate these radicals...starting from the top over there in Afganistan and pakistan...I know at this point al-queda might never go away, but if you cut the head off the animal, it might take a while to grow a new one. That's my two cents...and that is why Bush has made the worst blunder in U.S. history. This is beyond democrats and republicans...it is something all of us will have to live with for God knows how long. If my neighbor breaks into my house and steals my stuff...I go after my neighbor...not the guy accross the street who saw this happen. Apperantly Bush forgot who attacked us on 9/11...good thing he is gone soon...whoever comes in republican or democrat will have quite a mess to deal with. Because Al-Queda is still a threat (bigger than before) I have to racially profile when at work...what a bunch of crap...Al-Queda should be history.

 

[Flyer1015]

puddlejumper101, I agree, and you bring up great points.

To everyone else, lets just end this thread.

Agree to disagree.

If you really fear, hate, and distrust ALL Muslims, then Al-Qaeda is winning, for it is their goal to instill fear/hate/distrust into the hearts of Americans. I, as an American, will not distrust all Muslims simply because of the actions of the radical Islamic terrorists.

 

[atafan]

I agree with Flyer1015 on everything!

The world's problems are all caused by the Republicans and the Bushes. So what if just 10 to 20 % percent of the world's Muslims are radicalized, that's only what a hundred million or so, what kind of problem is that? I also choose to ignore any behavior issues with Muslim people because I wouldn't want to offend anyone because I'm not ignorant like all you right wing whack jobs.

All is well, go hug and kiss your neighbor's pit bull today!

My intelligence? Suggest you go to the top of this page and start reading post 91 and work your way down.

I would say I'm pretty much on the mark. Perhaps it is because, unlike you, I have put my butt on the line for this country and have seen the other side of tyrany.

 

[Guppy Guy]

Well I for one can't wait to see the total extermination of all Muslim infidells. It's our obligation to protect the Isrialites in the Holy land to prepare it for the second comming. We must destroy the non-believers and be ready for the rapture. Only then can the world be a truly safe place. Jews of course are OK because once they are taken up before God they will instantly see that Jesus is the true Lord and repent. After all, it says so in the Bible so it must be true. At least that's what the late windbag Jerry Falwell was preaching.

I actually had some idiot recite this to me in the cockpit one day a few years ago. I embelished the last sentance though. He apparently was a big fan of the late looser Falwell.

How many times over the last few years did I hear guys say how much they were looking forward to going to the middle east to show those "towel heads" who's boss. Let them feel the fury and wrath of "my God" was also a popular sentiment.

Sounds like they all deserve each other to me. Maybe Darwin had it right. The fundamentalist Christians and Muslums can all remove themselves from the gene pool and let the rest of us with more profound values of life move on.

For those of you who are over there trying to help a dire situation I have the utmost respect and wish you the best. Those of you over there who fit the previous mold who get some pleasure out of "killing the non believers" quit being part of the problem and be part of the solution.

As for the lady who wanted to get off the plane. She had every right to not get on a plane if she wasn't comfortable with the situation. I for one do not want anyone on my aircraft who doesnt' feel good about the flight. A number of years ago I taxied back to the gate to let a customer off who was anxious about flying and "had" to get off. It's easier to defuse that on the ground than in the air for sure. Beyond that it sounds like AA messed up and tried to blame her for their screw up.

This problem will probably never be resolved in our lifetime. It's been 2000 years so far. It can only be managed. Keep alert and stay informed. Thanks to the policies of the current administration it is more dangerous out there today than it was 6 years ago. This war was a really foolish idea. Diplomacy 101 says:

1) never get involved in a ground war in the Middle East.
2) see rule 1.

Somone wasn't reading their history books.

Good luck to us all.

 

[stonewall]

I don't blame the woman for getting off the airplane.

There was no way to tell these guys were training Marines.

I think it's comical when people who fly jets for a living bit*h about oil.

Darfur has lots of oil. Lots and lots of oil. China and France are in big...not the US.

The only sure way to prevent slaughter in Darfur is to roll in with gunships and troops. Arab militias are the responsible parties in the "genocide" and they only understand one language.

If we send troops, we get accused of being imperialists and "inciting terrorists."

I just got an FCIF from my chief pilot telling me to be extra special sensitive to Muslims during Ramadan or they might go batsh*t crazy over every real or perceived slight and cut my head off. I did not get that FCIF in December.

I'm not a knee-jerk "right wing, KKK, racist nut-job named Bubba from the South who blindly supports Bush" (although all of you that think I am betray the principles of tolerance, understanding, and respect you claim to possess).

There is nothing wrong with what she did.

It's not 10%-20%, it's lower. The world's problem isn't all caused by Bush/Republicans, BUT in the last 7 years, they have had a huge hand in it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not major Clinton fan either.

Read back what I posted. I've said over and over again that we should ALL remain VIGILANT. That does NOT mean ignore. Be vigilant (I say that now for the umpteith time), not paranoid. If you don't know the difference between vigilant and paranoia, then I can't help you.

With idealogy like this...

In your opinion, what will it take for there to be peace in the Middle East? I'm not looking for platitudes, slogans, or anything of the like. What kind of specific actions and attitudes do you think will lead to peace in the region? Not a cease fire, but lasting peace. What are your ideas?

I was going to stay away from this, but I'm going to bite. The way I see it, she exercised her right of "freedom" and got off a flight she felt was unsafe. I'd do the same if I felt something was not right and I hope all of you would too. Maybe she "broke the chain". I don't know if she did and I really don't care about how "they" feel. I know "they" don't care how I feel and would rather see me dead! And that is the truth, I do not care what you believe.

I've been to those parts of the world and can tell you what they think of the good old USA and the "non-Muslim" I went there with an open mind and well was shock at how that side of the world operates. If you as a born US citizen have never been to the Middle East and are not Muslim, you cannot talk about what they are thinking and I suggest you go there for your next family vacation and gain some knowledge! If you think 9/11 is a hoax, well I feel very sorry for you.....

I think everyone needs to go back and look at history. Thomas Jefferson studied the Middle East and we should too. Get off of CNN and FOX, etc and read the history books. There you will find the real truth. One example is:

http://www.khouse.org/articles/2007/691/

We have been at war with these guys since our Independence and "we" did not not even know it! I'm not big into conspiracies but this is our history.

I ask you a few days from now on 9/11 to remember what happened to you on that day in 2001. Remember where you were and how you felt. Remember what you said you wanted to do and do you still feel it? I'd like you also to remember that was the first time that we were attack in the lower 48 since WWII and that defense is still important.

I'd also like everyone here to step aside from all your technical stuff (i.e. cell phones, ipods, internet , etc) and just be family and normal people. We in the US rely on too dam much communication. That is going to be our end. We need to know everything right NOW. NOT! We can stand to get the info a little later on some things so we can relax and give and intelligent answer.

Remember 9/11/2001......I do, it changed my life!

 

[BigMeat]

Al-Qaeda is everyones enemies! They have killed more moslems that what happened on Sept. 11. The one the stands out in my mind is the guy who made the Halloween movies. He was an arab and during his daughters wedding in Jordan, the terrorist struck. No one is sticking up for terrorist. I havent seen one person do that on here yet. Al-Qaeda wins everytime we hate each other, scare each other or attack each other. Dont believe me? How many rights have we lost because of them. How much have we suffered and lives lost because of our fear of them. Now Bush has made a breeding ground in Iraq for Al-Qaeda. Afghanistan was legit. All Al-Qaeda has to say is boo and the stock market takes a crash. Just to tell you how much Americans are afraid of Al-Qaeda I had a redneck tell me that he was terrified that they were going to start flying airliners in his grain silo and thats how they are going to attack America next.

So, like it or not the world's economy runs on oil...and if Bush were gone tomorrow that would not change, so quit blaming everything on on big bad Bush.

A masters degree in Chem. wow. I am so impressed. I guess you have to have a masters in chem. to think it would be a good idea to invest billions into finding alternative fuels. We dont have an alternative now. Thats the problem. We wont find another alternative unless we throw money at the research for it. But hey if you want to keep supporting Saudi Arabia where most of Al-Qaedas money comes from then great. Kudos to you for supporting terrorism. Damn Saudi (I mean bush) lover.

And yet another word from the peace loving Islamic folks.

FRANKFURT, Sept. 5 — The police in Germany have arrested three Islamic militants suspected of planning major terrorist attacks against several sites frequented by Americans, including the busy United States air base at Ramstein and the Frankfurt international airport.
Skip to next paragraph Enlarge This Image
Wolfgang Ratta/Reuters
One of the suspects, left, with German special police officers today.



The suspects — two German citizens and a Turkish resident of Germany — were in advanced stages of plotting bombing attacks that could have been deadlier than the terrorist strikes that killed dozens in London and Madrid, police and security officials said Wednesday.
“They were planning massive attacks,” the German federal prosecutor, Monika Harms, said at a news conference, outlining a vast six-month investigation. She said that the suspects had amassed huge amounts of hydrogen peroxide, the main chemical used to manufacture the explosives used in the suicide bombings in London in July 2005.
Ms. Harms said the two German suspects were converts to Islam who had trained in terrorist camps in Pakistan. They had amassed 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide to make explosives, which they had hidden and were preparing to move when they were arrested on Tuesday afternoon. Officials said they also had military grade detonators.
“This would have enabled them to make bombs with more explosive power than the ones used in the London and Madrid bombings,” Jörg Ziercke, head of the German Federal Crime Office, said. Mr. Ziercke said the suspects belonged to a radical Islamic group with “close links” to Al Qaeda.
German officials were visibly relieved by the arrests, which they said were a six-month investigation involving 300 people from the police and prosecutor’s office. On Wednesday, police raided 41 houses and apartments across Germany, seizing computers and other evidence.
One of the suspects, Fritz Gelowicz, a 28-year-old German born in Munich, was under surveillance by German investigators as early as December 2006, after he was seen scouting American military barracks in Hanau as a possible bombing target, according to court documents.
The arrests were made at a vacation home in Oberschledorn, a remote village of 900 people in North-Rhine Westphalia, north of Frankfurt. The suspects had rented the house to store chemicals to make explosives, officials said, and were preparing to leave when security forces swooped in.
One of the three men fled and, in a scuffle with a police officer, wrested a pistol from his holster and shot him in the hand before he was subdued. The officer was slightly wounded, officials said. Residents described the raid, by an elite police unit, as something out of an action movie.
The arrests came a day after Danish police arrested eight people in a suspected terrorist plot there. The German interior minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, said there was no evidence of a direct link between the plots, despite similarities, including a suspected link to Al Qaeda.
Germans officials said the attacks could have come within days, noting that the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks falls next week and that the German Parliament will soon take up a politically sensitive debate about extending the deployment of German troops in Afghanistan.
“There was an imminent security threat,” the German defense minister, Franz Josef Jung, said on state television.
Ms. Harms said the three suspects arrested Tuesday belonged to a German cell of the Islamic Jihad Union, a radical Sunni group based in Central Asia that split from the extremist Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
While this group has not been linked to terrorist attacks in Europe, it has claimed credit for suicide bombings in July 2004 near the United States and Israeli embassies, in the Uzbek capital, Tashkent. The group has called for the overthrow of the secular government in Uzbekistan.
For months, German officials have warned that the country was under threat of a terrorist attack, in part because of Germany’s involvement in Afghanistan. Officials said they were particularly worried by reports of Germans taking part in terrorist training camps in Pakistan, near the Afghan border, and then returning to Germany with a goal of carrying out attacks.
“The modus operandi looks pretty much like the one we had warnings about,” said an official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Mr. Ziercke said the United States aided German authorities in their investigation. Another security official here said the Americans tipped off the Germans to the existence of the Islamic Jihad Union.

An American intelligence official said Wednesday that suspicions that the cell might be plotting an attack in Germany that led the American embassy in Berlin to issue a warning earlier this year. American officials, who have spoken publicly about Al Qaeda’s growing abilities to attack western targets, believe that the group in Germany likely has ties to Al Qaeda operational figures in Pakistan. American spy agencies believe that Al Qaeda leaders have established a safe haven in the western mountains of Pakistan, where they have set up small compounds to train operatives for attacks on western targets.
American military officials here said the Germans contacted them on Tuesday evening to warn them about the plot. They did not have further information about a threat to the Ramstein air base.
“This was a German-led investigation,” Lt. Cmdr. Corey Barker, a spokesman for the U.S. European Command in Stuttgart, said. “We do appreciate their commitment to safeguarding us against a terrorist attack.”
Ramstein is the largest American air base here and a transportation hub for troops deploying to Eastern Europe, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Commander Barker said the base had not lifted its force protection level, which is currently at “bravo,” the second-highest designation.
Frankfurt’s airport, the second-busiest in Continental Europe after Charles-de-Gaulle in Paris, was operating normally on Wednesday morning, said a spokesman for the airport, Robert A. Payne.
Last April, the United States warned Americans living and traveling in Germany to exercise special caution because of security threats. A spokesman for the American embassy in Berlin, Robert A. Wood, said the State Department had not decided whether to issue a new warning.
“The successful operation carried out by Germany reminds us that the threat of terrorism is real and requires close cooperation by all like-minded nations, in order to put an end to this scourge,” Mr. Wood said.
Germany narrowly missed a terrorist attack in July 2006, when a pair of suitcase bombs left on commuter trains in Cologne failed to explode. German officials said that attack was motivated by anger over the publication of satirical cartoons about the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper.
Unlike in that case, in which police said the suspects used crude materials to make relatively small explosives, these suspects amassed enough hydrogen peroxide, which when mixed with other chemicals, could yield a bomb with an explosive force equivalent to 1,200 pounds of TNT.
Last June, Mr. Schäuble and his deputy, August Hanning, warned that the terrorist threat was comparable to that in the months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. That plot was largely hatched in Hamburg by a circle of Islamic militants posing as students.
Mr. Schäuble coupled his warning with a call for stricter anti-terrorism measures. He would like police to be able to conduct surreptitious searches of computers belonging to suspected terrorists.
“There is a growing problem with home-grown terrorism that’s also evident elsewhere in Europe,” Mr. Schäuble said at a news conference in Berlin.
Some critics here have accused Mr. Schäuble of ratcheting up fears of terrorism in order to push his tougher measures. The debate has been particularly fierce because of Germany’s deep aversion since World War II to law enforcement tactics that threaten individual liberties.
