BERLIN -- Midway through a propaganda video released last month by a group calling itself the German Taliban, a surprise guest made an appearance: a cleanshaven, muscular gunman sporting the alias Abu Ibrahim the American. The gunman did not speak but wore military fatigues and waved his rifle as subtitles identified him as an American. The video contained a stream of threats against Germany if it did not withdraw its troops from the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan...
U.S. and European counterterrorism officials say a rising number of Western recruits -- including Americans -- are traveling to Afghanistan and Pakistan to attend paramilitary training camps. The flow of recruits has continued unabated, officials said, in spite of an intensified campaign over the past year by the CIA to eliminate al-Qaeda and Taliban commanders in drone missile attacks.
Since January, at least 30 recruits from Germany have traveled to Pakistan for training, according to German security sources. About 10 people -- not necessarily the same individuals -- have returned to Germany this year, fueling concerns that fresh plots are in the works against European targets...

Of course the Obomination will continue to believe that making friends with terrorists will keep the U.S. safe while we piss off our allies. Obama is a TERRORIST. Obama is also a LIAR. I offer NO APOLOGY for that FACT.

It’s not Zer0’s fault though! It’s not. Must be because of Bush!
End of sarcasm.
Yeah, I’m gonna need some help here justifying “Bush’s fault” on this...
anyone “speak leftie”?
bump
This would seem to open up some obvious avenues for infiltration.
“but but but...this only happens under Bush”
Oh, it’s still Dubya’s fault all right...well at least to Democrats,
Leftists, Socialist, and Obama-istas.
Because Dubya is the guy who wrecked the world economy, thus FORCING
these guys to get a job with the radical Islamists.
(/SARC)
While an entirely separate issue, I do feel that Dubya did have a
“slow-down” in his last couple of years in The White House.
But who can blame a guy that saved The West despite the onslaught
of the combined forces of the Democrats, the MSM and every weenie
in Europe and around the world...
that hated him for understanding the post 9-11 and having the
intestinal fortitude to do the right thing.
No good deed goes unpunished.
yeah, those last few years, yeah but then again. the rats took over Congress in 2006...oh wait....how coincidental
How could this be?
After the Cairo “Ich bin ein Muslimer” speech?
THREAD BUMP.
