U.S. AND GERMAN OFFICIALS TELL ABC NEWS THEY BELIEVE A TERRORIST ATTACK
AGAINST AMERICANS IN GERMANY IS IMMINENT

this stuff gets worst every day. at least we have have brave
men and women defending our nation,i appreciate everything
they do 4 us.its always something.

its sad and depressing..dont even want to think about it.

What officials? And I gotta think, why would they say that, is it a
warning, is it in preparation, or is it the beginning of some new
propaganda ploy to bring us to our knees before these 'officials' and
allow them to continue to impose even greater oppressive restraints on
our freedoms?

Or is it a new hype trying to catch the attention of the public for the
sake of more viewers, more readers, thereby gaining funds from more
advertising??

The sky is falling...

The republicans will say - SEE we need this war.

The democrats wil say - SEE this war has increased the terrorist threat.

does any one remember the increase in terrorisim during the days of
Reagen. And the swift and decisive way he dealt with them. Followed by
a decrease in their activities.

Say what you want about Ronnie but i liked the old guy..To bad he has
altzheimers cause George could use his guidance now..

"does any one remember the increase in terrorisim during the days of
Reagen. And the swift and decisive way he dealt with them. Followed by
a decrease in their activities."

::::Kerry checks to see if Spock has a beard in this Universe::::

I seem to remember something about a clandestine arms-for-hostages deal
that got exposed and the Marines being pulled out of Lebanon after a
terrorist attack on a barracks.

Hardly what I'd call 'swift and decisive', but what do I know (besides
the fact that Reagan tripled the national debt from 900 billion to 2.7
trillion on his 8 yr watch)?


-Kerry O.

why would there not be that is the question

they have already said and have been saying

for as long as the u s has been around

that we are fair game because we are not

in islam religion

jefferson went over in the 1780s to confront them
for attacking american shipping

imagine that

and its the u s fault history read the history

it will never be over

as long as fanatics are still alive

any fanatics not just muslem hitler was a christian fanatic

i am sure there are many other religous fanatics
out there it is just that at the moment muslem fanatics
are taking center stage

but hey what do i know

KO? There goes the neighbourhood!!

false flag...

adj, I think I agree with you, if I can add, that fanaticism seems to be
more than just religious in nature. It seems to be a serious
personality flaw that causes the "disease". But as we've seen in these
post, nothing better to lather one into a fanatic frenzie, than
religion.

"KO? There goes the neighbourhood!! "

Whelp, you'll have this when you have people running about like a Bag
Lady with a megaphone singing "A Mighty Bulwark Is Our Ron",
broadcasting revisionist histories while picking up the spoils of War
like they're something to be treasured.

-Kerry O.

Yes KO you are right about the arms deal and the barracks they did
occure on his watch.

All of it went away after the bombing of the place they were using for a
base.

Imagine that.

Hey! This is not a religious thread. Nor has it been mentioned by anyone
except those that are against it.

I apologize for that last statement. I actually did not mean to say
against religion, I meant, that are not for it. Don't believe in it, or
just plain ole don't care. And the ones that are against it.

U.S., Germans Fear Terror Attack
May 11, 2007 12:24 PM

Brian Ross, Richard Esposito & Chris Isham Report:

U.S. and German officials fear terrorists are in the advanced planning
stages of an attack on U.S. military personnel or tourists in Germany.

Law enforcement officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com that U.S. air
marshals have been diverted to provide expanded protection of flights
between Germany and the United States.

"The information behind the threat is very real," a senior U.S. official
told ABC News.

German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble told reporters, "The danger
level is high. We are part of the global threat by Islamist terrorism."

Of particular concern, according to U.S. and German law enforcement
officials, is Patch Barracks, the headquarters for U.S. European
Command, near Stuttgart.

Security at all U.S. military and diplomatic facilities has been
increased in the last month following reports that suspected terrorists
had conducted surveillance of the Patch Barracks facility.

"The attack would be designed to create high numbers of casualties among
both Germans and the U.S. military," said ABC News consultant Richard
Clarke, a former White House counterterror official.

The 9/11 hijackers planned their operation out of Hamburg, Germany, and
the country continues to be known as a staging area for al Qaeda and
groups affiliated with it.

"There are 300 to 500 people who are suspected to be part of al Qaeda
cells in Germany," said Col. Andrew Pratt (Ret.) of the George Marshall
Center in Germany.

"In a democratic state like Germany, you just can't go out and
arbitrarily arrest people because they are under suspicion," Pratt said.

German officials have called for enhanced police powers to keep
suspected terror groups in check.

Several radical Islamist groups have threatened violence unless Germany
withdraws its troops from the NATO force in Afghanistan.

A radical Islamist group in Iraq took a German woman and her adult son
hostage in February, threatening to execute them if Germany did not pull
its troops out of Afghanistan. The two are still being held.

Late last month, the U.S. Embassy in Berlin issued a statement saying
that security was being increased at the embassy and other consular
facilities "in response to a heightened threat situation." The statement
also urged "Americans in Germany to increase their vigilance and take
appropriate steps to bolster their own personal security."

A spokesperson at Patch Barracks said they were not aware of any
specific surveillance on the location, and they are not under any more
specific surveillance than other U.S. facilities in Germany. "As a
response to the U.S. Embassy Berlin's recent warden message, all U.S.
military installations in Germany are urged to exercise increased
viligance," they said in a statement to ABC News.

When asked today about ABC News' report of a terror threat in Germany,
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said, "I don't have anything
new on that." He continued, "There was recently, within the past couple
weeks...a warden message that went out from our embassy asking people
in-country to exercise extra vigilance and caution although, at that
point, they didn't have a specific, credible threat, but they were quite
concerned."

Red alert, they'll be searching everyone comes on base

I just saw on the news, that it is an Islamic terrorist group. It was in
it's advanced stages. They were to use bombs and high tech weapons. They
have stepped up their training to protect the base and American citizens
living there. They have given a red alert to all Americans over there.

That long post up above was actually from a couple days ago. I wasn't
thinking when I pasted it. I should have looked for todays news on it.

" Yes KO you are right about the arms deal and the barracks they did
occure on his watch.

All of it went away after the bombing of the place they were using for a
base.

Imagine that."

Umm, no. Actually, it was those French who did that. You know, the
people Neocons now like to call 'Surrender Monkeys'?

In 2001 Caspar Weinberger stated: "But we still do not have the actual
knowledge of who did the bombing of the Marine barracks at the Beirut
Airport, and we certainly didn't then."

It would seem his statement is in direct contradiction to your version
of events.
