How anyone can say that stopping and checking men, that fit this profile, is a bad thing drives me nuts.

We need to close the borders and question all men of Middle Eastern decent right away. What will it take to get this done? A nuclear attack on an American city?

If Saeed and thousands others just like him were not stopped in Bosnia, where a whole terror recruitment and terror base exists, under the nose of thousands of US and NATO troops based there how do you expect any security stateside?

Not even that would do it as long as the media has transmission capability.

expectation and reality are two different things. Ask your Senator or congressman if they supported Bosnia and Kosovo and have him explain why helping those people made you safer.

Previous generations of foreign students from Britain's private schools and prestigious institutions went on to become Prime Ministers, Presidents and CEOs!

There is a report on one of those Bosnian Islamic terrorist camps today from Tanjug. These "young Bosnians" will, many of them, be radicalized for the rest of their lives. Decades more terrorism to come.:

ITALIAN TV STATION SAYS ISLAMIST EXTREMISTS TRAIN IN JABLANICA

BERLIN - The Italian intelligence has discovered an Islamist extremists' training camp in Jablanica, 80 km southwest of Sarajevo, Italy's RAI-3 television has reported.
According to the exclusive RAI-3 report, carried by the German radio station Deutsche Welle, young Bosnians are tested at the camp to determine their ability to take part in Jihad.

There are so many ways for Muslims to get in and out of Bosnia, or stay there for extended periods of time and no amount of NATO troop presence will change that.

And yet it's interesting that the US government has known for years that the Bosnian Muslims were issuing Bosnian passports to any terrorist who needed one. There's no reason to believe the practice has stopped at all.

TIME Magazine

Former President of Bosnia Alija Izetbegovic talks to TIME about about allegations of terrorist links in the Balkans

BY ANDREW PURVIS/SARAJEVO

October 31, 2001

Reports have long circulated - actively fuelled by Izetbegovic's former enemies in Belgrade and the Serb Republic of Bosnia - that he met with bin Laden and openly courted potential terrorists during the war. TIME met with him last week and asked him about those allegations. Excerpts:

TIME: According to several reports, you met with Osama bin Laden or his chief deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri during the war. Is that true?

Izetbegovic: During and after the war I met with thousands of people coming from the Islamic world but I can remember the faces and names of only a few. Neither of the two you mentioned are among them. And if, by some chance, I have met them, then they could not have talked with me about terrorism.

TIME: Do you believe there is an al-Qaeda cell in Bosnia?

Izetbegovic: There are suspicions but no proof. Personally I do not believe that al-Qaeda has cells in Bosnia.
