Glad we have troops in Iraq? Trained in terror camps in Pakistan, don't see how the war is helping issues like this, but good The Germans were on top of this!

Again, foreign law enforcement is on the job...and Americans are where?

Isn't Islam great?

Foreign law enforcement rides to our rescue yet again.

Kerry was right - policework and intel work are the real first line of defense against terrorism. Iraq is an irrelevant sideshow.

The biggest problem for the President may be that he has done such a good job that we have not been attacked since 9-11. Liberals have short memories. Sadly, had we been attacked a few times and maybe 10,000 more Americans had been killed the Liberals in this country might finally get it.

Congrat's to the Germans on a job WELL DONE.This is a worldwide threat & ALL countries need to be onguard.
Its my personal opinion that slowly but surely were leaving the politics out of this issue......Go get THOSE swaggards!

Maybe instead of closing military bases in Germany we should be beefing up our presence.

I am always glad to see the authorities apprehend the guy before he blows himself and many other up. People do hate us, as Americans. It is good that we defend ourselves.

You've got to give big Kudo's to the Germans for being so sharp!! We know cells of these hate-filled, murdering whacko's are all over world and it's reassuring to know that people are taking this threat seriously and preventing another slaughter. I just hope they get a severe sentence and spend the rest of their lives in jail and not just slapped on the wrist by some milk-toast judge. Congratulations to the Germans - we are in the debt forever!!!

Terrorism is global, we have the capability to fight more than 1 war. Get used to it cuz no matter where we are they are always going to want to kill us. Its sad

See what we've done in Iraq? We've gone and made them all angry. We've made them angry everywhere - even in Germany. If we just leave them alone, I know they'll just leave us alone too. We've made them so mad that some them will wear explosives and blow themselves up - that's how mad we made them. The next thing you know, they'll hijack planes and fly them into buildings. Afterall, they're people just like you and me - only angry.

I always wondered where our billions of dollars were used for over in Pakistan. Thank God we are in Good with the President/leader of Pakistan. Thanks for looking out for us Americans and taking our generous donations to fight terror. Maybe we should give that money to the Germans for finding and foiling the attack on Americans in Germany and our U.S. Bases.

Do we really need bases in Europe anymore? We make ourselves sitting ducks. Keep in mind, Bush & Co. already plan to keep at least two huge military bases in Iraq, troop "withdrawals" or not. It costs a lot to run a base. Most of our military budget is corporate welfare, pure and simple.

bobh.. While going to Iraq may have been wrong, it has proved to be a fertile ground for Islamic fascist to congregate giving us more targets.. And the more that come to Iraq the better. Also in case you forgot this is a world wide war on terror, not just a American war. They want to wipe western civization off the map.

We can hope the Germans will be able to extract valuable information from these three terrorists that will ultimately prevent other major attacks on US military facilities and on other places around the world. I'm sure they delayed capturing them until they could find out as much as possible about their support network. It would not surprise me to learn that the Germans have much to teach us about dealing with these kinds of people. Keep up the good work.

bobh, clue into reality...and that reality is that international law enforcement and various governments (civilian and military) are cooperating with each other, working together to make these kinds of busts. Go to Germany and you will see how closely the two nations are working together. Iraq is irrelevant to what? In what sense is it irrelevant? They really need to throw in courses in international diplomacy in the public schools.

I'm feeling really timid right now. Yesterday ABC's PC editors deleted me twice for suggesting that Jerry Lewis's comment wasn't all that horrible, after all. Here's one that seems to get by the PC police:

I like popcorn.

Thank goodness for the Gestapo ! Good job Germany !

chas, the reason we went to iraq is because they flew into our buildings. if you knew anything about history we tried to help the taliban defend themselves against the Soviet Union but they turned on us and now use all the weapons we gave them against us. 655Bcro, the base in iraq that is the best thing that could come from the war. there are 4 political figures who absolutely despise the United States, Castro, Ahmadinejad, Chavez and the crazy little korean guy better known as kim jong ill. well we have a base in south korea so that helps with that threat. the US has Guantanamo Bay in cuba. central and south america wont ever wage war on the US... 1-they dont have big enough armed forces 2- we give them more aid then anyone else. the last threat is ahmadinejad from Iran. If you know you geography Iran borders Iraq. good idea to have a base in iraq??? the base in iraq could help stop a war in iran because of the troop presence in iraq.

i am sure if we leave them alone they will leave us alone

yes Sir Isam is great if you know the meaning of Islam.This for bobh

Chas, I hope you're being sarcastic when you say we should just leave them alone and they will leave us alone! Their aim is Islamic globalization, so they won't be leaving us alone. This isn't the sixties, ya know, peace and love will NOT heal all.

Chas are you for real? If we leave them alone they won't bother us - really? Radical Islam has only one goal - to dominate what they percieve as territory conquered in the past - from the Persian Gulf to Spain, and if you oppose them you are an infidel and are to be killed. There is no middle ground if you don't submit you die. It is amazing when I hear someone say what you have. I don't like the situation we are in, but i am realistic enough to know that no one on the planet is safe with the Radical Islamic movement on the loose. It is amazng who 99% on us seem to be able to live on this rock and allow each other to have our own beliefs, but there is no way we should try to appease a group bent on our domination or destruction. As a world community a stand has to be made - it is also time for the moderate voice of Islam to be raised - if you truly believe in peace then the Islamic Leaders world wide must condemn the actions that are taking place, but if by your silence you are condoning these radicals then you are just as guilty.

Sue, I wouldn't go that far. I'm thinking this Iraq thing is making more line up, but they're still going to have issues with us. It's about all they can agree on over there.

Hey bob to quote a portion of your post "if you knew anything about history"... YOU would know that "the reason we went to iraq is because they flew into our buildings" was NOT the case. Look it up. They were Egyptians, Saudi's... all Al-Queda soldiers.
At the time Saddam was busy keeping Al-Queda OUT of Iraq and we went and blew away the complete infrastructure of a non-threatening country. Oops! Our bad. We should have concentrated on the Taliban, Al-Queda and that turbaned mad man who directed 9/11. He was and is the problem... not the Iraqi's.
Don't let the Bush spin taint the truth for you. Just look for the REAL truth and you'll find it.

Chas is being sarcastic, people...

Hey, hey, calm down, I was being sarcastic. No one could be that dim . . . I take that back there are plenty that dim and many of them are right here. Listen, those sub-human degenerate murderers who flew those unwitting men, woman, and children to their deaths on 9/11 are rotting in hell and today's cave dwellers who carry the same torch around the globe will get that which they too so richly deserve - and you can bet that it won't be seventy-two virgins.

Congrats to the Germans ! It would have been awful to have such a loss of life . As Sept.11 grows nearer,this is a reminder of what could happen again.Living in the U.S. is getting very scarry as other counrties are feeling this too.I'm just happy there are dedicated people worldwide who care enough to ensure global safety as much as they can. I would also like to thank all who have gave their lives to keep us safe, God bless you!!

Wake up folks - it's back to (terrorist) school time again!

What we need right now is more global unification to stop the plague of Islam from spreading any farther.

Perhaps if the 'G8' signatories had assisted poorer countries earlier, this spread of Islam would not have been so fast or wide.

It is by far the fastest growing pandemic we know of....

None of what you read is real.

...including you statement?

This is a global war we can’t stop or do everything but we manage to keep all of sleeping nice and safe in your comfortable beds. Stop criticizing from the comforts of you coaches. And to the cowards who hide underneath the skirts of their women and children confronts us we are waiting.

Reading the comments here is more than interesting...
Here we have Bin Laden himself saying that the only way to end the war is for Americans to become muslems and the war won't end until the world is subdued and still knowing that their stated goal is to dominate the world with Islam...Terrorist attacks for years and I am trying very hard not to come out and call some people lame brained but, come on...
The comment I am refering to is the one saying basically, "Here we have gone and made them mad and now maybe if we stop fighting terror they will stop being terrorists!!"
The fact that we have people in our own coutry who think like that is frightening in itself...That some people can be so dumb and still breath is amazing too...LOL...
They aren't going to stop murdering people and their known goal is to dominate the whole world...
That the U.S. and other countries still let them into our country when they are congregating here to plan the biggy like just was exposed in Germany and happened in the U.K. and around the world is amazing too, especially after 9/11...You have to kill a mad dog first okay...
Bin Laden just told us that the only way to get them to stop is for the U.S. to become muslem...We know that is a lie...They kill their own family members who tick them off and teach their children to hate Jews and Americans from childhood and have been doing it for years while lame brains keep giving into them more hoping they will stop!!??...
LOL...What planet do some people live on? They won't just stop...Did you need to be told that? If so, get some serious mental health help...
I want to thank my country men and woman who keep me free and the ones in the world who are watching out against crazed nut cases who think they are on a mission from God to control the world and who would stoop to any low to do it...
God Bless the U.S.A., our service people who battle terror and other countries in the world who do the same and Germany for being awake at the wheel so to speak and protecting many lives as well as Americans who were the prime targets of these phycos...
Carne heads wake up...The Spirit and the Bride say, "Even so come Lord Jesus"
Prayer time for all of us is way past due and waking up to the fact that the world is at war here and cutting and running from these murdering mad dogs isn't the answere...
It's all winding on down as far as the Bible predicts with complete accuracy...Add up the clues now and I don't go falling for the man of so called peace when he shows up on the scene...It would help us all to read up on the Bible, even Non-Christians...
The funny thing is that the bad guys all over the world do read scripture to see how it all comes out...LOL...There is a huge clue right there that although they hate God, Jews and Christians they still know there is something to Bible prophesy that says they lose by the way..Read Exekiel 37 and 38 and look up what those countries names are today...
I

woops! I meant Ezekiel 38 and 39

For those of you supporting the Military in its endeavors around the world, thank you. Some of us are just as torn up as everyone else at the situation we are in..but despite the situation, our personal motive is and has always been the same, to protect our loved ones at home, and our country. We have to deal with the way it gets done, bite the bullet, and protect the best we can. So making comments from across the ocean, in your house, protected by distance, freedom of speech, and the U.S. MILITARY EVERYWHERE, enjoy every worry free moment you have, even if you use it to type up ignorant lines of what you assume to be cleverness... How about you learn your facts and try to put yourself into the head of my brothers and sisters, our soldiers. Months apart from family and even that warm feeling of safety that they miss almost as much as their family, and U.S. soil.

Having done my part to "protect Freedom" for all Americans, I always find it ironic that all these people like to yell "go get them, boys" but they do it from their computer desks. If everyone feels sostrongly about this fight, I suggest you all go enlist in the military and you go take a little live fire and incoming and then you can say that you really believe in this. If Bin Laden thinks this cause is just, then why does he lead from a hideout in Pakistan, much like Pres. Bush leads from a hideout in DC. They can bleed for this cause just like these poor souls in uniform.

I don't understand why people join up for the army and then complain about fighting? Enlisting in army, means sensless murder all around the world. Didn't they expect this?

Thank you Germany, for being on top of this one! We can never let down our guard, and all in the world that just want to get up, go to work every day, have a LIFE must help tip off the officials to those they suspect are extremists.

Again, the ultimate thanks to you.

Thank you for your insight LB Tartaglia, since the Liberals of the world (especially in this country) are as dangerous as the terrorists. Though they are obviously not as intelligent as the terrorists.
