For those Surrendercrat still living in the fantasy world were the Islamo Fascists will not be coming to our shores if we surrender Iraq to Bin Laden we have a serious wake-up call on our hands. An Islamo Fascist attack force has been discovered in America ready to attack our military: http://www.wnbc.com/news/13274813/detail.html?dl=mainclick
Six men from New Jersey have been arrested in an alleged terror plot against soldiers at Fort Dix, according to law enforcement sources. Investigators said the men planned to use automatic rifles to enter Fort Dix and kill as many soldiers as they could at the New Jersey military base. Fort Dix was just one of several military and security locations allegedly scouted by this group, authorities said.

The Dukas, believed to be Islamic radicals, are in the United States illegally, while Shnewer is a U.S. citizen born in Jordan, according to the Justice Department.
The U.S. Attorney’s office has told NewsChannel 4 that one of the suspects was born in Turkey and four in the former Yugoslavia. Investigators said most of the suspects have spent several years in the United States.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said Tuesday there is “no direct evidence” that the men have ties to international terrorism.
“They are not charged with being members of an international terrorism organization,” Snow said. “At least at this point, there is no evidence that they received direction from international terror organizations.”
Personally I fail to see the importance of whether these people were taking day-to-day direction from Bin Laden or not. They planned to attack us. Those who dismiss this as a low probability attack fail to see the precedent and inspiration such attacks could provide. We either tolerate some deaths or we have zero tolerance. But one thing is clear - jihadists want to kill us and would come to our shores in droves if they won Iraq. We can pretend this doesn’t matter, but that implies we pretend the deaths they would cause do not matter as well.
wow - how can we blame this on Giuliani?
Were the “ring-leaders” named REID and PELOSI?
Uh -- I don't think we need to worry about that.
As the little girl said in the movie Poltergist, as she stared at the television snow:
Except we weren’t bombing the Muslims, we were bombing the Christians.
It is of no importance whatsoever that these people were not taking day-to-day direction from Bin Laden. They were in our country. They hate us. They planned to kill in the name of Islam. That’s all we need to know.
After all, these undocumented peaceful immigrants were only going to kill soldiers... (major /sarc)
Personally, the fact that they may NOT be associated with any known existing international terrorist organization bothers me more than if they had.
Muslims unassociated with terrorist organizations that just decide to start killing non-muslim people would be bad, and not only for non-muslim Americans.
“... were only going to kill soldiers..” that Americans wouldn’t kill.
