BRUSSELS — Belgium's interior minister and justice minister tried to resign Thursday ahead of an emergency meeting of European security chiefs held amid growing questions about why authorities couldn't prevent deadly Islamic extremist attacks on Brussels despite increasing signs of a threat.

Prosecutors announced a direct connection between the Brussels bombings that killed 31 people and injured 270 others and last year's attacks on Paris, which appear to have been carried out by the same Islamic State network. The attacks have laid bare European security failings and prompted calls for better intelligence cooperation.

Interior Minister Jan Jambon said after a government meeting Thursday that "If you put all things in a row, you can ask yourself major questions" about the government's handling of the threat from Islamic extremists.

The only difference between Europe and the USA is time and sheer numbers.

There was no will to stop the attacks by means other than extensive kumbaya

the outpouring of kumbaya by the belgian people in the form of flowers and candles and other crap on the pavement is outward manifestation of that driving principle

Because they let in millions of vermin and allowed them to plot to kill humans.

muslims and unbelievers cannot coexist on/in the same piece of geography. Their own teachings prohibit this. They will never assimilate. There are no moderate muslims. They are all taught to hate, harm, conquer or kill us infidels and Jews.

Boots, web-gear and fatigues for each of them.

Rifles and ammo. maybe a smattering of crew served weapons.

Six weeks of training.

Presto - a company sized force of straight leg infantry.

Until then, they serve as “chaff” or background clutter to help the terrorists evade detection.

Politically correct cowardly pandering jack-wagons. That about sums it up.
You could stack up ALL the European leaders and it wouldn’t amount to a single red-blooded man.
These are the cowards who don’t deserve freedom because they are unwilling to earn it.

Why were they in Brussels in the first place
PC politicians to blame
JUST LIKE THE FBI LET THE BOSTON BOMBERS HIT US
WARNED 6 TIMES AND IGNORED THE WARNING
THAT IS EITHER INCOMPETENCE OR PARTICIPATION....
just like the FBI ignored the informant warning of 9/11...
See the pattern....
LET IT HAPPEN
MOP UP THE BLOOD
get your promotion and retire....
What’s a few BUMPS IN THE ROAD
ITS TANGO, PARTY WITH MURDERERS COMMIES AND REBUKE REAL AMERICANS......
hence the rise of the PEOPLE

The answer to the question is simple: All Governments: Federal,State and Local are populated for the most part by a pack of low grade morons who could not survive in the private workplace.

I say this after spending most of my adult life dealing with bureaucrats from city, county state and to a lesser extent federal.

The British police considered it worse to be called racist than shut down Pakistani Muslim rape gangs that targeted 10-14 year old poor white girls for grooming, rape and even prostituting - and they were left alone for over a decade.
To make things worse with the Rotherham rape scandal, police actually covered it up to protect their image by telling social workers and teachers to shut up and sending the first female investigator looking at the problem to sensitivity training.
