The Pizza Connection; Easy Access to Fort Dix

I feel we should not spend the time and money for a lengthy trial. try them and get it over, we don’t need to support them for the rest of their life.

With all the ignominious acts perpetrated in his name, Allah does not get my vote.

should have waited at the gate for them and slaughtered em. Why waste time on a trial. Maybe we would have gotten lucky and they would have brought more with em. Sorry allah not this time!!! GOD BLESS THE USA

Sounds like AL-CIADA

The Ethnic Albanian identity of the Islamic terrorists in this storyis going to be burried very quickly because the US is pushing for these same Islamic radicals to have Independence in Serbia’s Kosovo. The US is acting like it is afraid of these people. Something smells VERY bad here. These people are our enemies by their own choosing yet we are acting like they are good. Watch how this gets burried, IMMEDIATELY!

OK, they believe in their version of Allah. Here in the US, we have Christians who blow up other Americans, in the name of JESUS. The latest school shooting starred a fella who compared himself to JESUS! Should we lock up all the good Christians now? This is about despair and rage, not GOD. Lets address the real problem and stop being ignorant.

I enjoyed reading many of the comments in regards to this situation and if these individuals are truly terrorists, then it’s a great thing that we stopped them! However, I am quite reserved with radical comments of shooting to kill these people and the advocacy of violating our laws in bypassing the legal process as it is the best safeguard in getting truth to the public and protecting the integrity of our republic. The fact is, we lock up too many people (over 700,000 people arrested for marijuana for simple possession in 2006) and we chould have much more space in jail for real criminals. Our nation has compromised it’s values of justice and liberty for chains of security by the patriot act and many other obscure powers that were never intended for the government to behold. We are not being defeated by a small fringe group of terrorists, but rather within by ineffective leadership who sell fear and not empower the people to unite to watch together. Also, my concerns are deep in regards to our federal and local governments because on the federal level, we attack and overthrow a government in Iraq without articles of war which is also another violation of the Constitution and upon the voice of reason. I hope and pray that America wakes up and demands the cowards who run our country to step down. We need new leadership and people of character who will be honest to the people and lead the world by peace than by violent assertions.

I hope my fellow Americans know their history. The majority of terrorist acts here in the US, have been caused by Christians and US citizens. Wake up!!!!!! Do a little research.

The fact these were Islamists seems to be getting burried and it should be the big fact. Bush says we need an army in Iraq or the islamists will be here. Well, they seem to be here so the Iraq plan isn’t working and W is out of excuses.

Ya gonna metion they were islamic radicals? Answer, no. You people are impossible to get the REAL FACTS from. Long live Thr Fox News Channel.

You folks should read the undercover FBI agent’s affidavit about this conspiracy and how it was uncovered – It’s very detailed and it’s on The Smoking Gun. Read it.

The liberal media first reported that Yogoslavian’s were arrested for this terrorist plot. I wasn’t fooled though- I knew it would be Muslims for sure!

It’s time to get tough with these terrorists and put them in their place… LIBERALS won’t stand for it, but they are an ignorant minority so who cares? All people who came from the middle east in the last 15 years need to be checked out closely. If they show they have a hatred for our country then they should go back to the country they came from. We should not be tolerant of people who are hear using our resources and hate us…

Right on Lance

These guys are NOT terrorists. Terrorists attack civilian targets. These morons are spies, saboteurs, Islamic Militants but not terrorists. When you go to war with someone, you probably should expect them to attack your military.

Tell me again about “we’re fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here”? Looks to me like we’re still fighting them “over here” after all, despite what the Republicans tell us about Iraq. Also, it looks like John Kerry was right: fighting terrorism IS a law enforcement issue. Congrats to the brave men and women of LE who – ironically – ended up protecting the lives of our soldiers!

CNN has reported that several of the six are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Many of the other media don’t want to mention that fact..why? Because our illustrious Senators like Kennedy, Reid, Specter are about to reintroduce an illegal alien AMNESTY bill that would allow virtually all 12-20 million illegal aliens currently present with immediate temporary residency, amnesty from prosecution or deportation and a path to citizenship. Let’s not forget that the good Senators also want us to provide them with amnesty for all the identity theft/fraud felonies many have committed in order to work here illegally. Let’s not forget they also want to let them have access to social security and even in-state college tuition benefits not universally available to all U.S. citizen students. SECURE THE BORDER, ENFORCE THE LAW, NO AMNESTY, NO TEMPORARY RESIDENCY, NO PATH TO CITIZENSHIP. Enough is enough.

I see alot of people saying Christians are bad, Bush is bad. What does this have to do with the price of rice in China? I really do not understand the comparison. I am strictly agnostic but don’t think my Born Again neighbors are plotting to attack a Base or are taking flying lessons. The most important point is WHAT IF THIS REALLY TOOK PLACE? It would be another mini 9/11 in a US military base, at home. It would be painful and humiliating and cause us to be reactionary.

Fellow Americans, we have also been attacked by radical US Christian terrorists. What now? Should we arrests all the Christians? The attacks have been growing steadly for 15 years. This is a fact!!!!!!!!!! Ignore it if you want. But please, if you do, just go away. Most likely you’ll have nothing to do with the war you help start. Most cowards don’t.

Very scary… I live 2 seconds down the street from Fort Dix. Worked on base during 9/11 as well.
When 9/11 happened, the base shut itself down for several days until they could tighten security (before 9/11 you could drive through Fort Dix without being stopped to show ID… you didn’t even have to be military to pass through). Prior to 9/11, the base wasn’t technically operating… at one point the barracks were being used to house Kosovo refugees. So, it was quite a project for them to upgrade security… it’s 1000 times more secure now than it was then. It’s just ashame that now they even have to worry about getting food delivered (there are next to no food choices available on base which is why most chose to order off base).
Now Fort Dix is being converted to a Megabase… obviously making it more of a target. Luckily, this plot was able to be halted… but it really makes me wonder if this is just a glance of things to come.

3 were here illegally. You accidentially on purpose forgot to report that. It was also be nice to know how they became illegal. By crossing the border illegally or by not going home when they were supposed to. It would be sooooooo nice if ABC would report the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth. What are you afraid of? Afraid of offending someone? Afraid of not being politically correct? Are you afraid of the terrorists? This article is bad reporting, and written by a wimp.

Come on people, just because 95% of all islamists wish we westerners were all dead, that doesn’t mean we should judge them ALL harshly. If you want peace, you’re going to have to stop fighting them, then they’ll be nice to us! Didn’t you people learn ANYTHING from Neville Chamberlain?

I remember reading about another group of people that hated US foreign policy, had suicide pilots, conducted terrorist warfare against our troops, and slaughtered our citizens whenever they had the chance. I recall we vaporized two of their cities and now they are gentle as kittens. Oh, and the world REALLY respected us then.

Thanks Adam! For a moment there I was like huh? Yeah, you would think this blog would start with your name at the top, then your comments, but it is the other way around. Comments first, then your name.

Some good points being made. However, sad to say there are obviously some bleeding heart types as well who seem to sympathize with these extremists. It’s not hard to see why the U.S. could have problems trying to stop these nut cases when you have individuals siding with them and helping them out in some way or another. I see more than a few “sympathizers” who could be in for a very rude awakening if they are not extremely careful where they place their priorities. These nut cases will use any and all methods at their disposal to meet their goal and that includes eliminating anyone who might have knowledge of what they intend to do.

Look folks, the bottom line is this…. You can fool the American people some of the time, but not all of the time. The fact is is that there are nut case Jihadists out there to do us harm. So much so, they will dies themselves in order to kill Americans. So my point is, that unless the Democrats WAKE FREAKIN UP! They will get their ASSES kicked in 2008. This issue will not go away and the safety and protection of the American people in our own backyards will be the dominating issue in the elections. Whenever Hillary or Obama open their mouths, watch their brains fall out. They are too hell bent on destroying Bush and the “War on Terror”, that it will defeat them in November ’08!
(Run Fred Thompson by the way! The current field sucks!)

Thanks for having the courage to serve Matt.
Something Andrew woud never consider.

Since Al Queda is busy trying to throw us out of Iraq so they can set up shop there much as they did in Afganistan; these idiots are the best they can throw at us. Pull out of Iraq and the smart ones follow us home.

Albania is an Islamic country, why are we surprised to hear that Jihadist are coming from there?

Carol, the only reson we have science and breakthroughs in science is beacuse of secular goverments(the west) – religion and science dont mix

I say any 7-11, taxi cab, movie rental business, liquor store or anything else with a muslim owner we should boycott.

This article is pretty light on facts. All they really reported is hearsay from an FBI agent. If they’re really planning an attack, get a warrant and find some hard evidence.
All the other so-called “facts” are meaningless. Pizza drivers had MAPS??!! Call the President!!! A man suspected an FBI spy of being… an FBI spy??!!! He’s a terrorist, kill him!!!
Sheesh.

OK. Are you for America or not? I am SICK of all this tip-toeing around the truth. TELL IT LIKE IT IS MEDIA!! These are terrorists! What’s more important, your politically correct reporting or the safety of our country. Remember…the majority Americans want the truth. So STOP YOUR SUGAR-COATING of it!!!!! COWARDS!!!!!!

Nicely stated Bill Clinton!!

” If we pull out of Iraq, then the enemy follow us home”, that what neo-cons tell us. Guess what, the enemy is already here and the most amazing thing is that US actually brought them here. Remember when NATO was bombing Yugoslavia for 3 months protecting Albanians and then brought many of them here. I always knew that one day they will “pay us back”
I wish that I were wrong, but the reality is that now we are paying for our mistake.

Tatiana, Why do you supose they wanted to kill soldiers here and not in Iraq?

re:Tatiana, Why do you supose they wanted to kill soldiers here and not in Iraq?
We let the Genie Out of the Bottle in 1999, bombing Yugoslavia for the wrong reason and bringing Genie here.
It’s convenient to plot anything in US as there are a lot of people like those who got just arrested.

I read the compliant which was published in somking gun. These guys were islamic radicals. They have been under surveliance for over a year. Three of the men were here illegally. Seems I can do a better job of gathering the facts from my desk then ABC can with all thier resources!

It is time for fathers to take a wider role in their childrens life. In other words, fathers who come here from other countries with moslem faith should be aware that the Jihade or terrorist are looking for the young men and brain washing them to do their dirty work. Mothers need to unite, we mothers need to unite all over the world. Demand peace, demand dialogue. We are many, men are few and mothers are stronger willed not easy to fool, men are. This kind of ignorance is seen even in our own American culture. “Oh no, not my son” “Oh, I don’t understand?”, well wake up fathers because this is a new world order and the order for today is to kill. Moslums unite, change the attitute while you can. Fathers must take a wider role in knowing what their young sons are doing. check in just like we ask our kids to check in. Its getting to the point where Service personnel will be targeted no matter where they are at. Its time to change the way we do business in those areas. But it is also time for mothers to march for peace. To change what has not changed. Mothers all over the world, unite, peace walk, march together against the hatred in which men are showing. Even here in our own country. We must show love and compassion but also insist and put our foot down, enough is enough. Mothers everywhere, go on strike, walk, march for peace where ever you are.

To all those who keep comparing Islam and Christianity go do some reading. Before you defend Islam, read the Koran. Only in a book as sacred as the Koran will you find specific instructions on the proper size of a stone to be used to stone an individual (see stoning of women/honour stonings). All religions do indeed have extremists. Islam just seems to have a ton more. One Muslim going into a university in Baghdad and shooting 30 students would be buried on page 2. Another difference: the Christians committing these acts are extreme nutjobs; the Muslims in Iraq who blow themselves up on a daily basis are not insane at all; they are merely following the guidance of Islam, the religion of peace. “Islam” means submission. The Koran says peace will not be achieved until the installation of the caliphate/Sharia law and the world submits to Islam. So stand by and defend them, enjoy your stoning.

bonko: You misunderstood me to some degree.
And, yes, that might be a good idea until the undesirable elements are gone.
As to your question – like I said, a public delaration of allegiance(s). It could be done democratically. And should be.

By the way, why make such a deal about New Jersey? Let ‘em have it.
It’s mostly just guys in ’84 Camaros and Big Pharma company headquarters.
Pave it over when done; we need the parking in NYC anyhow.

Wait, these guys were caught by the FBI? But, but, I thought Rush and the wingers have been telling us for years that we can’t use law enforcement techniques to arrest terrorists???

It’s funny that the Chef in an Italian restaurant takes a stronger stand against terror than the guys who wrote the article.
Ross and Esposito, it’s not politically incorrect to call these “Albanians” what they are: accused Islamic Terrorists.

FACT
3 Were Illegal — not reported.
Yogoslavia has not been a country for over 10 years. ABC “NEWS” does not report facts they are propaganda for the left

Everyone deserves a fair trial. And their religion does not matter. To be honest radical christians scare me more than radical muslims. We don’t you go back to your jobs at Wal-Mart and go watch Nascar and stop screwing up my country by voting. I have a hunch you folks are part of the 29% of Americans who still believe that Presdient Bush is doing a good job…

Story has already been removed from YAhoo news. Don’t want to offend anyone especially illgeals.

also – there are two daves now.
Don’t think I’m the anti-American one.
I’m with Kevin, S of ’76, JelloB…..
Time for a Tea Party

==== father said. “I came here from Turkey in 1992, and this is my country. I ======
Herein lies the root problem. I feel sorry for the father, but we are fools for letting folks from this area of the world to be here for any reason. I can buy pizza elsewhere.

Ok, three were illegal. For the people for illegal immigrants and against protecting our borders…..how did they enter the country? For the people wanting gun control, what were they doing with AK-47′s? For the people against electronic surveillance……………………..

We should respect their love for Allah,That’s why I think we should arrange a meeting
Watch this get spinned into “It’s Bush’s fault”

Andrew: I honestly haven’t gone to church in a long time, but I do believe in God, and I am a soldier and I am in Iraq as I type this. After experiencing alot of less than admirable circumstances, I hardly believe that the overall majority of Christians including myself that you refer to are the “terrorists” we are fighting much less that anyone else is worrying about. Question: Are you an atheist, a radical Islamic fundamentalist, a Communist, a Socialist, or just a left-wing knee-jerk liberal? Sorry, but you sure sound like a anti-American kook and one of the above. You are either ignorant of the world because you’ve never been outside the US, or you’ve been spending too much time listening to Jihad and Hugo Chavez fan club tapes….if you dislike us that much do us a favor…please leave our country so my fellow soldiers and I don’t have to continue to defend America haters like you….

U guys have no idea what u are talking about…I have lived for a while in the Balkans and Kosovo which is 90% Albanian…Albanians are our number one ally in the Balkans. Just because there might be a few Albanians that want to do harm, just like there is on any other country, that doesn’t make Albanians terrorists. Besides, the population in Albania and Kosovo is not entirely mmuslim. There is about 30% Christians. I have always said that we were right to bomb the Serbs in the 90s and will say again because I have been there during the Yugoslav wars and have personally seen the genocide and massacres committed by the Serbian army and paramilitary forces. So, please get ur facts straight before posting anything.

These MUSLIM TERRORISTS are not tolerant of Christians, Jews and any other religion. They don’t believe in women’s rights and practice HONOUR KILLING if a women loves someone else of another faith or anything that she does wrong in the man’s eyes. They hate GAY PEOPLE too. Liberals this something to think about before you side with them!!!This is their Allah that they worship! We are INFIDELS and we always will be in the eyes of a sick radical Muslim. They should go back “CABRONES” to their country of origin, if they do not want to join the civilization of mankind.

Ivan the Serb….I can see why ur jumping on this story and blaming Albanians because ur a Serb and ur taking advantage of the story by making Albanians look bad…I know that Serbs support us against the war of terror and we admire that, but we also admire that Albania supports us 100% on the war against terrorism…I know better than that. Someone who doesn’t know might be influenced by ur propaganda…

If you do not like our country go back where you come from. It is not your country you were not born here.
Go back where you was born and leave inncocent us cicitzens alone.

Finaly the police the secret services and everybody who gets paid to protect this country have done their job well if not excellent. Having in mind the success that the British police had in operation Crevice (not so long ago) this is actually 2:0 for the good guys !! But there is one thing that bothers me.
I can’t understand why the media here in the States is trying so desperately to hide the nationality of these terrorist by using the confusing geographical location “Former Yugoslavia”. These men are Albanians from the southern Serbian province of Kosovo (together with one Turkish national). All of them are muslims and in the so called “Former Yugoslavia” they comprised a minority (only 8% of the population) while the rest of the nations were (and still are) Christians
(Croats,Serbs,Slovenes,Montenegrans,Macedonians etc.). I am afraid that something else is happening here. The media and officials are highly embarrased because these are the same people they helped 8 years ago when Serbia was bombed during the attempt by the Albanians to secede this Serbian southern province. How history tends to repeat itself
( anyone remember Afghanistan !!!!!!)

Mark Wahlberg, you know that there are Muslims killing Christians in Africa. You can’t be that naive!

I would like to see these 6 guys, who were trying to learn how to shoot guns by watching a video tape, even TRY to take on an Army base of our professional soldiers. They wouldn’t have lasted a minute.
The big prize should go to the super-alert, clear-thinking video clerk who tipped off law enforcement in the first place. Bush should pin a medal on him!!!!

They just took my posting off again, I am only trying to point out the hypocrisy in the radicalism of islam.

When the Left forced withdrawal in Vietnam and the South soon were faced with invasion what proceeded from that was something close to 3 MILLIONN people slaughtered for being things like Doctors! That is the international left at its core. That blood is on the hands of the same leftist who are leading the forth column in our country and internationally against the war in Iraq.
Those who were freed because of American efforts in the Cold War (including Vietnam) should be consulted as to the relevance of international leftist action to better individual lives.
To conflate Christians in this country with Islamic Jihadists is the most ignorant reactionary disingenuous turn of thought that one could make given the evidence everyday in news source from around the world.
Obviously if these men entered the country from the Mexican boarder then the issue of illegal immigration is important to the story. That boarder needs to be shut… then we can talk about what happens to the illegals here. Bush has not done so for 6.5 years and votes are the reason… so I can not excuse him.

McDonalds is not corporate owned, it is a franchise. Talk to the local owner next time you are in Jordan. Use another example that is not a Franchise and is Christian owned. In example, you won’t see a Chick-Fil-A there.

I have been all over Kosovo and Macedonia overseeing any wrongdoing against civilians there as part of the Human Rights Watch and have seen the genocide first hand committed by Serbian army and paramilitary forces.
U guys have no idea what u are talking about…I have lived for a while in the Balkans and Kosovo which is 90% Albanian…Albanians are our number one ally in the Balkans. Just because there might be a few Albanians that want to do harm, just like there is on any other country, that doesn’t make Albanians terrorists.

So, please get ur facts straight before posting anything.

To all who still think that NATO’s bombing of Serbia in 1999 was justified.
I remember how Henry Kissinger at that time (he opposed the war) said that during the civil war in Kosovo about 2,000 people died from both sides. For some reasons (!!!) Clinton’s administration called it genocide and took the Albanian side. The result now: almost all Serbs are kicked out from their land. If that is what Clinton wanted, then he got it.
But we are paying for his decision now

Why dont you all understand their pain. The U.S. caused this. More is probably going to happen and we cant stop it.

This comment is to World News Tonight 5/8/2007
I can not beleive hearing Charlie Gibson call the men in the recent plot to kill soldiers at Fort Dix “Home Grown Terrorists” Three of them are illegal aliens. This is why ABC news Sucks.
Start telling the truth.
Do you think we are all stupid.
This country has an illegal alien problem and for some reason the media ABC NBC CBS NYT….. will not call it what it is.
This is why we read Drudge and other internet news sites. Because we cannot trust the once prestigous main stream American media.
I no longer watch ABC News for News. I watch it to see how well you hide the truth.
But I think it’s time to stop watching. Because it’s more like a half hour of Anti American Propaganda.

Hi,
Why does Charlie Gibson call these guys “home grown terrist” earlier in the broadcast he stated they were illegal aliens from Albania. Were they U.S. born or Albanians?

I have doubts, and we will find out , they are from Kosovo. Probably macedonia and the other two from Turkey and Jordan.

Let’s get it straight….
“Allah Akhbar” means “God is Greater”

Maybe ABC News should have a special day called “Hug a Islamofacist Beheader Day.” I’m sure it would be far more acceptable to the lawwwwwyers at ABC News than something evil like “Celebrate White Inventors’ Day” or “Celebrate Jonas Salk Day,” etc. Farrrrr more acceptable.

Mark–Review Second Sudanese Civil War. Northern Islamic Arabs killed and starved almost 2 million Christian and Non-Christians in the 80′s and 90′s. They insisted on Sharia Law(sever limbs, stoning for offenses) and finally suceeded with Saddam’s and Osama Bin Laden’s help. Those who oppose the Iraq war should also review the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, which President Clinton signed into law.

For those of you who believe that Islam has no relation to Christianity, the Koran is based on the Bible as well as the Torah. And for those who think only the Koran describes violent instructions, have you read the Old Testiment? Obviously not. Terrorism is not religously motivated. It is politically motivated masked by religion.

Quite sad to see how American media portrays jihadists as from ex-Yugoslavia, knowing full well they are Albanians born in Kosovo. Too bad we want a independent Kosovo for Albanians…same people that tried to kill our soldiers. Sad to see our foreign policy at work.

Once again, these men are not from Kosova.

I dont know what article you all read but the one I read at the top of this post does say 3 were here illegally. I am from a family with soldiers serving and losing lives in all the conflicts, but my intolerance of your intolerant and idiotic statements does not make me unamerican. Yes this country has a lot of problems and some of them are from Christian factions in this country. I can support the troops and not support the war as right. Most of you seem to be blowing hot air and not dealing with the real issues.

This is not sense. Aaron thinks illegal means that the guys came through Mexico or Canada. Why not by sea in a Vessel or by plane with a visa. When anyone comes with a visa and stays beyond the the deadline the Goverment gives you at the airport then you becomes illegal.
The terrorist from 9/11 were here legal, they came with a student visa. So does it matter if they were legal or not. What about the others , they are US citizens.

Sorry fellow Americans. Our recent history is full of Christian terrorist attacks. To blame Islam on our current situation is laughable. We have been blowing up and shooting each other very well, for a long time, all by ourselves. This is a FACT!!! Some Christians have used the bible to murder and destroy individuals for hundreds of years. FACT!!!! I am a christian and former soldier. I also like living in reality. If we are to solve this problem, we must be honest and locate the real issues.

I am a Catholic Albanian native, and have been in this country legally for several years now. I can tell you that Albania is the most peaceful country in Eastern Europe. It is safer in my city than it is here. 1st of all, Albania and Kosovo are 2 completely different countries. They have their government. We have ours. It has been that way for over 10 years. 2nd of all, can any of you Albania-haters even tell me where Albania is? I will go fight for America before any Liberals will. Get your facts straight.

These people planned this attack because they hate America and Americans. Based on what I have read here, a bucnh of arguing people who have no grasp on the concept of compromise, I am beginning to dislike many Americans also. America needs to start working together in government. Democrats and Republicans need to start to make more compromises and work towards fixing this nation. The current generation in power is completely shafting the future generations. I am 18 years old. My generation and I have the responsibility of fixing the Climate, winning the war on terror, and fixing our economy, thanks a lot old people.

Why wasn’t the fact that some of them were illegal aliens mentioned?

Most of the language being used in quite a few of the posts above are filled with rage, hate, fear, loathing, disgust and menace.
I think a reasonable arguement could be made by the Christian posters that the New Testament is the most accurate portrayal of modern Chrsitianity… but not when their words are so closely aligned with the vengeful, fearful, rage filled God of the Old Testament under Who’s guidance so many acts of barbarism were committed.
I know it’s probably not to be found here, but I hope someday I will be able to read the posts at the end of a news article and see different opinions being expressed with both candor and rational thoughtfulness, whatever the religion, creed, political affiliation of the poster may be.

to patriot2
you should really open up your eyes and stop feasting on everything the media feeds you

mike i could not have said it better myself, it really does seem as though ivan the serb is trieing to take advantage of an oppertunity.

Let’s live in peace, shall we??? Let’s join hands together we can save this island, the very world, for our children and the next generation.

It is so easy for these people who would do us harm to enter and remain in this country. Countless illegals are stopped everyday by law enforcement and it is the Federal Government that is sitting on its hands. They have a hands off attitude when it comes to state, county or locals stopping illegals. They tell LE officers to let them go and to contact the local INS reference their illegal status. In the eighties foreign nationals were given the same rights as natural born citizens! Why!!!??? It used to be if you were an illegal, you were arrested, transported to the nearest international transportation facility and deported to the home country. Caught again and it was a direct trip to a federal prison and upon release they were deported again. The Federal Government at this time has neither the will nor the means to deal with illegals so they have adopted the head in the sand method.
9/11 will be small in comparison when these people will have enough manpower and material in place to cause this country significant damage. When it happens, and it will, the greatest noise with be the “Harumphing” in Washington on who dropped the ball.
The jurisdictional lines need to be dropped, inter-agency bickering to stop and everyone get on the same page and get the job of eliminating safe entry and haven for all illegals. It’s time America concerns itself with its citizens first and not political and world whimsy.

I have to clear some of this for a lot of you reading these news. Several items in this story do not connect and are a bit out of place. First let me give you the big picture that will bring some extra info for you. Kosovo has a status that will be decided shortly. They want full independence from Serbia. The names of the alleged attackers are albanian, that’s true, but you need to know the fact that these are the first “albanian terrorists” that attack like this. Now the only thing they know for sure now is their origins and their name. Do you know how easy is to get a fake albanian passport or a passport belonging to former Yougoslavia??? They could very well not be albanian at all, just happend to have used a fake one to get in the US. Option 2: Since Kosovo is fighting hard to get western government approval for full independence, especially from the Bush administration, doesnt it seem a bit weird that kosovars would take these action towards a country that could possibly decide their fate??? If you think of fanatic religious extremists, albanians are definetly not in that category. As an Albanian, I am not really proud to say, but it’s true we are known more for other illegal trades, like drugs etc but in no way extremist religous fanatics. We albanians have our issues but we put our own national pride before any religion.

I agree with filan above. What people do not realize is that albania is a post-communist country and as such religion was forbidden for the past 50 years. Hence, albanians in Albania do not give a crap about any religion. Over 80% are not affiliated with one religion or another. Religion in albania is more of a label that people recall from their grandparents rather than a true religion.
These guys are from former yugoslavia–north of albania. No one can be too sure which province of former yugoslavia. And if they are ethnic albanians from the province of kosovo, then most certainly (100%) these guys do NOT represent the views or interests of other ethnic albanians who were saved by the US during the 1999 genocide. Ethnic albanians in kosovo are eternally grateful to the US for saving their women, man, and children. And more importantly, the province’s fate now depends on the US’ support. So why would they do such a stupid thing? Do they not want independence? we all know that’s not true. who doesn’t want independence from a country that oppresses you? so what is left? These guys are not albanian in the first place!!! But rather, they are serbs–the same who committed the genocide–the same who do not want to loose Kosovo land. and they’re trying to blame it on albanians of course. If this won’t work to push the US against Kosovo what would?

Yes Mike, O lot of Serbs and pro Russians are using this sad story to enflamate todays Kosova independence.
Albanians are against any kind of terror conections. They are part of coalitions troops in Iraq. Albania is a strong bone against slavo-russian invasion of Ballkan.

RE:They could very well not be albanian at all, just happend to have used a fake one to get in the US.
I have one problem with your post. Those guys were under FBI investigation since January 2006. FBI had about 15 months to track down all guys involved in the plot to the days when they were wearing diapers. So please don’t make any hints that they are Serbs. No one is going to buy that.

Why doesn’t the military teach our young men and women true on the job training skills, like making their own pizza? (btw who at abc is censoring…we’ve been running tests over here and notice some or our posts make it through while other don’t.hhmmm)

I posted a blog before stating my opinion on how many people were attacking the Albanians for what these four people did, now there is something else that I want to say. I heard some people write that these people might not be Albanian because they wouldn’t risk Kosovo’s independece. I do believe they were Albanian, but that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what they did, they could not care less about Kosovo’s independence, they did this for their own gratitude, so please don’t tie their ethnicity into this because it has absolutely nothing to do with what they wanted to do. (by the way as someone stated above, they aren’t even from Kosovo.)

In response to the overwhelming number anti-illegal immigrant posts in conjunction with this story, I would like to point out that half of the arrested suspects are legal aliens. The claim that allowing illegal aliens into the country will open us up to internal attacks is preposterous. Need I remind everyone that, 9/11 aside, all other acts of terrorism against the United States in recent history have been from Americans (i.e. Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczynski, etc.)? Attacks aren’t limited to radical Muslims, either. Eric Robert Rudolph, an American and a Christian, was responsible for the bombings of a number of abortion clinics and homosexual nightclubs, but you might remember him better from the bombing at the 1996 Olympics in Georgia. Terrorists are not exclusively Muslim nor non-American, so please stop in perpetuating and defending the stereotype to support unrelated political beliefs.

All of you folks responding on this site. Have any of you made a contribution to Steve Emerson’s organization, who has been interviewed on tv and radio and heads the finest antiTerror organization in the world? “The Investigative Project On Terrorism”. He has testified before congress and has been risking his life to get inrformation on these terrorist groups and bringing them to the publics notice. Put your money where your mouths are.

If you are concerned about illegal immigration nobody is doing more than Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo. While he is a long shot, he can FORCE the other candidates to deal with and talk about the problem.

The MSM never wants to acknowledge any relevant facts that since CLINTON launched his war on Serbia, the crooked Albanian Muslim mafia that deals in the international sex trade/kidnapping, drug-smuggling, and pornography have run rampant. It was the Serbs at Kosovo that kept Europe from being turned into a Muslim stronghold against the Ottomans–not the Albanians. These Muslim s are all crooks. From Musharraff to the mullahs in Iran and the corrupt “royals” in Saudi Arabia. They are hypocrites, all have Swiss bank accounts, snort coke and engage with prostitutes–some double-standard. And they pretend to be oh so pious!!! PLEEEZ! When will the MSM wake up??

Matthew, I enjoyed your rant, but there is something that you do not realize. First, Milosevic and several other members of the Serbian government were proven to be involved somehow with the Serbian mafia. What do you think Arkan was? A soccer club ownwer? Give me a break. They tried to keep the borders for themself so that they can continue their drug trafficing. From what history tells us, Serbs fell pretty quickly to the Ottomans. If you do not read much, you can always watch Crni Gruja. He makes great fun of Ottoman occupation in Serbia. Another thing, if it is any country that would hate America, it would be Serbia. They seem to still be bitter. As for Albanians from whatever country, they support America 100%.

Put these men on trial, convict them, and send them to Egypt and let them take their heads off.

This is so depressing. First, my professor said that America is one of the most racist countries in the world. Then, my brother comes home and his dean tells his class not to trust muslims. They’re trained to be nice but are actually evil. Then he looks at my brother and suggested to the rest of the class not to trust even their friend. Tell me, what should my opinion be? How should I feel? Everyone hates me and I’m innocent. Yes, it is true. I am muslim and of Albanian decent. No, I am not a radical. I’m from a sect of Islam that do not wear the hijab. We’re open to all faiths. We also consider Jesus as a very important figure in Islam. Almost everyone I know is educated and not vullnerable to cults. That’s what I see these people as. Many Middle Esatern muslims do not accept us. I once had a friend from the Mid East. Her mother called me a fake muslim just because I did not agree with her. (BTW, I’m not saying that everyone in the Mid-East is like this) Mohammed preached about going with the times and not segragating ourselves into our own group. Basically, fanatical ideas are like an orthodox religion. I;m not a fanatic. I love being American. When I visited the Balkans, I received special treatment because I’m American; except from Northern Montenegro. A woman from Cetinje was very unhappy an American was siting in her chair. I honestly don’t know what to feel right now.

Didi,
It’s clear to see that you are a freedom-loving Muslim and folks like you are in a unique position because you are more likely to overhear or notice something suspicious that may help prevent a terrorist attack in America (or even overseas)!! Radical Muslims like your Middle Eastern friend’s mom may say something suspicious in front of you that she wouldnt say if she was with non-Muslims!! If you would have had any sincere reason to believe she or anyone in her family was/is involved in planning or conducting a terrorist attack, you should call the FBI or go to their website to leave an anonymous tip that could help prevent another 9/11!! Thanks for being an American, the country needs more good folks like you!!
BTW, ignore the rants of your leftist professor, who is only providing cover (not necessarily intended) for Jihadists to do their evil deeds, so can blame it on Prez Bush if and when another terror attack occurs on American soil!! It’s because of good folks like you, who HAVE prevented another 9/11 so far by contacting police or FBI with their valuable info!!
