EGYPTIAN STUDENTSVANISH IN BIG APPLE
nypost.com ^ | August 8, 2006 -- | DAN MANGAN

Posted on 08/08/2006 6:02:19 AM PDT by PDR

Eleven Egyptian students who were supposed to travel to a Montana university after flying to JFK airport late last month disappeared in New York, spurring federal authorities to issue a nationwide alert, officials said yesterday.

The students - who were traveling with six classmates from Mansoura University in Egypt - had their student visas revoked for failing to show up at Montana State University in Bozeman, the officials said.

The other six students made it to the college.

"The FBI and ICE [Immigration and Custom Enforcement] would like to locate these 11 students in order to speak with them," said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko after the "be-on-the-lookout" alert was issued to all police in the United States.

Kolko said there is no reason to believe the missing students, all men around 20 years old, represent a threat.

"...there is no reason to believe that they are a threat."

Maybe it's just my raging paranoia or the images on the TV right now of the Arab Muslims fighting to destroy Israel and every last person there, or it could be my vivid recollections of the morning of 9/11/2001 or it could just be that I'm cranky this morning, but I have to ask, are you out of your mind?

Where are the photos of these "students" and why did it take a month for the gov't to release this info? The Muslims here have been silent as one atrocity after another has been committed by "military-age moslems", they have never issued one statement condemning the acts of the terrorists. Some people have suggested that the missing "students" are just off having some good old American fun. If that is the case, then the feds should check the Hooters in Bangor, ME. That's where some of the 9/11 "students" spent their last night. I can't believe that anyone who stays current with this War on Western Civilization could say such things.

Oh and...that "man behind the curtain" is a middle-aged white woman, Roman Catholic, taxpaying, gunowning, mother of a U.S. Marine and the grandmother of two American infidels who deserve to die because they are not Muslim.

Why TF are ANY muslims and I mean any - grandmothers, little kids etc. - ever being allowed entry into this country?

Rather than letting more in - I want them ALL out NOW!

Really? Then why is your agency looking for them, and issuing a nationwide BOLO, Mr. Kolko?

Perhaps every group of illegal aliens is going to be hunted in this way, FRiends. This is potentially good news!

Sure it is...

OK, I don't know which is more worriesome. The article states that they are no-shows, then says not to worry, but puts out a look out for all police agencies, but doesn't release their names, and says they are probably just harmlessly sightseeing, and checking out our historical landmarks, but don't be worried, they are only 20 year old Egyptian males...

I'm feeling better already.

Wasn't there an announcement last week on one of the terrorist videos that an Eygptian terrorist group was "activated(?)" and they were dispersing throughout the world?

Have we learned nothing from September 11th?

Of course not. Bush and Rummy are going to have to plan and orchestrate yet another 9/11. */end sarcasm/

What ever happened to those Pakistanis who jumped ship in Richmond, did they ever round them up?

Hmmm... this coming right on the heels of Ayman al Zawahiri announcing Al Quaeda's new alliance with the Egyptian terror group Al-Jamaa Islamiya, and two weeks before Ahmajinijad has plans to light up the sky over Jerusalem.

Kolko, you are fired for gross stupidity. There is every reason to believe they are a threat until proven otherwise. Patently absurd statements like that made by Kolko completely undermine the ability of the gubermint to reassure the public when it is actually necessary to do so.

And while I'm ranting, what is this crap with every agent being "special?"

They make terrible pizza, use the kitchen sinks multiple times daily for ablution - but still somehow manage to stay in business (with few customers).

Can I tell you a story? A real true story? Because what you've written above gives me the freedom, at least in my mind, to utter what's been bothering me for a couple of months.

I live in Delaware, near the ocean and all the tourists that brings to the picture. One day I was driving down the vaunted Route 1 and noticed a new bakery alongside the road. Well I was excited because even after a few years here in my adopted new state (I am originally from Merryland, land of high property taxes and outrageous liberals), I still am learning locales of new businesses and such that households use to supply their lives. A new bakery, I thought, great!

So one day I stop at this bakery and go to hell you should have seen it. The entire place was dusty and looked as if still under construction. The "owner" was there, however, and he did have some baked goods for sale.

The owner was a Mideast guy as hey, we've all learned to figure this out a long time ago, right?

Anyway, since I was the only one in the "store" and though I just wanted to turn around and leave toot de sweet, I went ahead and bought a few "eclairs", awful things that I threw away just as soon as I got home.

I've often wondered what that "bakery" was all about. Because if ever a business was NOT a business, it was this bakery. The pitiful eclairs, the dirty store...I really figured something was up with this place but I sometimes do need to be fitted with a tin foil hat, I admit.

This was about a month and a half ago and that "bakery" has since went out of business. I don't know what it was all about but what with your pizza example, what's up with that?

You are no longer allowed to call them "towelheads". What they wear more closly resembles a sheet than a towel. So, from now on please refer to them as "SHEETHEADS".

That poster was mockingly quoting the article..."Kolko said there is no reason to believe the missing students, all men around 20 years old, represent a threat."
