If you were the bus driver in this incident, wouldn't you have evacuated the bus and called the police? Regardless of the nationality of the trespassers, wouldn't you take action in favor of protecting the children? What was the driver thinking, letting them sit on the bus and chat while taking them to the school?

Better yet, the kids should have "Flight 93'd" them!

"Ahmed Bedier, director of the Central Florida Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the St. Petersburg Times the incident sounded like a cultural mixup."

Translation: CAIR = Ibrahim Hooper's front group for terror

[Dr.Syn]

Ahmed Bedier, director of the Central Florida Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the St. Petersburg Times the incident sounded like a cultural mixup.

"Obviously, if they had recently arrived here and they are from Saudi Arabia, they may not be familiar with American rules and laws," Bedier said. "They might have thought it was some kind of public transportation."

Just like the "cultural mixup" of flying a Boeing 767 into the World Trade Center.

Mana Saleh Almanajam, 23, and Shaker Mohsen Alsidran, 20

Why are they in the U.S. ?

Why should they remain in the U.S. ?

[backhoe]

This just in from the blogosphere:

"I saw a post on Michelle Malkin, 2 Saudis (age 20 and 23) BOARDED A SCHOOL BUS in Florida, my blood ran cold...... and then they lied about their reason! check it out, there's pictures of these bastards... Do we want a Beslan (russian grade school) massacre here? "

SOMETHING DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT...

By Michelle Malkin   ·   May 21, 2006 10:29 AM

...with the story of the two lying Saudi men who boarded a school bus in Florida. And it is not racist to say so.

Just joy riders?

***scroll for updates... BAIL FOR SAUDIS REVOKED***

We have plenty of reason to be concerned about young Saudi men on student visas purportedly studying English.

We have plenty of reason to be concerned about possible terrorism operatives in south Florida.

And we have plenty of reason to be concerned about terror attacks on schoolchildren and buses.

Almanajam and Alsidran lied to Florida sheriff's officials. What else have they lied about? The State Department, JTTF, and DHS better be taking a close look at their student visa applications.

More details:

Asking questions: Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, American Future, more at Memeorandum.

Over in Arizona, another known hotspot for al Qaeda trainees, the doors are being thrown open to Saudi students at President Bush's behest:

In case you missed it, go read Nina Shea's piece in the WaPo on Saudi hate textbooks in the kingdom's public schools.

"It sounds like a dry run for a Beslan type of terror attack in the U.S.,"

That's my take -

Whether they were Arab, Finns or Eskimos, they did not belong on the bus and should have been asked to leave immediately.

If they refused, then was the time to let the students off - by all exits - and notify authorities...

[SandRat]

Just saw a news video clip on PoxNews of these two beign arrigned in court. One of the two was hanging his head down low as if asshamed and embarassed to be on camera the other was smiling with a silly smile/smirk as if this was all a joke.

"Someone should be asking why these guys went anywhere on the bus. Why was it not stopped and evacuated immediately, and police called then and there? Was the driver an imbecile?

Thats what I'm screaming! This is one of those stories that we will probably never hear about again. (unless someone gets on a bus full of kids with a trench-coat loaded with explosives in the future).

[Bon mots]

We have immigrants from all over the world coming to America. They don't jump onto school buses and lie about it.

If these guys are this stupid, they don't need college or studies, they need a brain transplant.

[maine-iac7]

and DHS better be taking a close look at their ALL student visa applications. (from MM's column)

They carried NO ID!

They're in this country on a visa - they KNOW they should have ID on them. The reasons for NOT carrying ID is not innocent

[Crawdad]

If they can get on one bus at a time, they can get on 100 at a time.

[maine-iac7]

Years ago, raising my kids, I had to have multiple jobs - the early morning one was school bus driving. If I had seen these two coming, as it was reported this bus driver did, they would seen a door slammed shut before they could enter.

And I would not have waited for questions - the bus would be rolling

[Publius6961]

Local and federal authorities are trying to determine the real reason two Saudi men jumped aboard a local school bus on Friday, alarming students as well as education officials.

Animals with primitive minds, simply having fun in a culture that tolerates, indeed glorifies insanity.

Just like the group of "musicians" on the airliner who were allowed to terrorize a hundred passengers for hours, and were allowed to walk away...

The truly noteworthy thing is to consider that although children are not expected to react, adults did not, either...

[Dr. Scarpetta]

possible dry run...

[Flavius]

the only good thing about this is that the students are the most armed sector of our society

[MissAmericanPie]

Diversity is our strength. Just keep repeating while counting to ten.

[Liberty Valance]

Somethin' fishy about them 2 saudis. Put 'em on a stringer and hang them off the dock for a few days see if the crabs will eat them. If not, filet'em and find out why.

[jimbo123]

Never forget these Saudis who entered the U.S. on student visas...
