News came today that the Europeans are waking and discovering — mon dieu — that Al Qaeda is in their midst. And — even worse — the pervasive anti-Americanism of Western Europe seems to have acted as a recruiting machine for young Muslims in Europe to go to Iraq to kill Americans.

Once a weasel, always a weasel

The big question (no pun intended) is whether France and Germany and the rest of the EU will actually DO something now to stop al-Qeda...or will they be so paralyzed by fear of a Spanish train bombing style attack happening on their soil...that they do nothing. It's real easy to just talk about realizing the threat posed by al-Qeda...it's something totally different to actually move to STOP their terrorism.

Good point.Arresting a few jihadists to sweep the dirt under the rug is not even an effort at all.

...it's something totally different to actually move to STOP their terrorism.

Stopping determined committed terrorists amounts to tracking them down after they commit their deeds. Any idiot can be a suicide bomber, sniper, or toss Sarin bombs in the subway.

I LOVE that picture backhoe...Is it a poster sold somewhere?

What do you call people who supply your enemy with weapons? The friend of your enemy is your enemy. Western Europe is approaching that line everyday...look at suppliers of Iran and Syria's nuclear tech.

Our own Prime Choice did that graphic- I believe if you click his profile you can find a link to his excellent work.

And Jimmuh Cahtah helped the North Koreans jump start their program if they promised not to make bombs with it. Lets give him a prize for that genius bit, something like the Nobel Peace Prize.

[Marano NYC]

That is wishful thinking on our part. The Europeans are too arrogant to ever admit that they were wrong on anything.The extreme anti US sentiment is amplified anti Capitalism reflexes.
France knows there is a serious problem that will not go away . Chirac bombastic mouth and lack of morals have hurt his country financially. He will look for a way to make a gesture to reduce the anger of America towards France.

[Paul_Denton]

[Earthdweller]

John Gibson seems to be level headed and sharp. I find him to be right to the point most days.

[Paul_Denton]

Yep he is one of my favorite Fox News people.
