SNIPPET: “WASHINGTON - Last week, German authorities discovered that groups of terrorists may have been dispatched from training bases in Pakistan to launch crippling attacks.”

SNIPPET: “They say as a minimum of 12 al-Qaida operatives who were trained in the tribal region of Pakistan have left the training camps and are headed back to their home countries. Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Egypt are just some of those countries.

According to the source, the threat levels also were raised for many other Western European countries to include concerns for “Turkish Airlines flying passengers from Istanbul to the U.S., the UK and Israel.””

SNIPPET: “Another source headed to Chicago from Istanbul said they were told that there was a specific threat against Turkish Airlines flights headed to those places.

In the U.S., Turkish Airlines flies to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Tampa and Chicago.”

Not surprising. We are sending a message to the world that we are weak. Just like we did when Clinton was in office. The outcome of this is inevitable. The only question that remains now is how bad will the attack be this time.

Well, this information is pretty specific. Much more specific than Bush's "warnings" about 9/11.

Bush was blamed by the left for not acting to stop the 9/11 attacks after being informed "Al Quaida is determined to strike inside America."

Now, armed with this new intelligence, the wise Obama can show us how to stop any attacks without the use of profiling, without infiltrating Muslim groups, without eavesdropping on international calls from terrorist groups, without detaining anyone, and by offering only loving words of kindness, apology, and respect. And all the while keeping the public fully informed of any clandestine activity the U.S. is involved in.

Good luck with that.

Oh, and I forgot, without the FBI sharing information with the CIA or military.

Apparently, the Bundestag election is September 27th. If AQ plans to strike before their election, it is mighty close to our 9/11.

I also find it interesting that WTOP is delivering this story. WTOP is the DC area radio news station. I don't see any of the MSM carrying the story. But, it shouldn't surprise me anymore.
