From ABC News' The Blotter:
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.
Read about Masaryk and Benes. Read about the Benes Decree, and of how the most tolerant and civilized and advanced state in Central or Eastern Europe decided, after World War II, that its people would never again have to endure the security threat from the ethnic German minority --the so-called Sudeteners -- about whom Hitler had been so solicitious (along with the "Arabs of Palestine" he always mentioned in the same speeches), who had been used by Hitler and Nazi Germany before the war, to stage "peaceful" demonstrations that would be put down by the Czechs, making them look bad for papers in London and Paris, and during the war, as Volksdeutsche, were given German rations and treated by the German army as full fellow Germans). And so, with the Benes Decree, a decree that no Czech at the time or since, and no Western statesman at the time or since, has found wrong, has found it cause for reproach, and they took care of their security nightmare, as they saw it, once and for all. And it was a solution that only unrepentant German revanchists have dared to attack in the six decades since.
Thanks Hugh,
Very informative....Regarding the missing Germans...at least the German govenment has not surrendered as fast as the Spanish govenment did...
The Muslims are "still holding?" Israeli soldiers, BBC reporter, German citizens,and possibly others. Abductions are reported in almost every area that is held by Muslims, most are just kidnappings demanding payment...Most will probably end up with dead captives...
....never negotiate with terrorists, it only emboldens them to do it again....
Model letter to your Senator:
Dear Senator Q,
We have fought two world wars over Germany. This has dragged on for over 80 years and lost 500,000 American lives, as well as countless British, French, and others. We need to do the following:
1) Cut funding to our troops in Germany to defend themselves.
2) Set a deadline to withdrawal in 2 months.
3) Find an Islamist army to turn Germany over to. Since Turkey's is too secular, for now, I suggest Iran's Revolutionary Guards. They will be stretched to take Iraq and Germany at the same time, but until Rice gets the Turkish army taken care of, they will just have to do the job.
4) Iran can use the oil revenues from the Iraqi, Kuwaiti, and Saudi oil fields to fund this extended deployment in Germany.
Peace Be Unto Surrender (PBUS),
Your adoring constituent
Smug Surrender Slave(Your name here)
P.S. Please introduce a resolution to change the Ode to Joy to the Ode to Surrender.
Eastern Europe decided, after World War II, that its people would never again have to endure the security threat from the ethnic German minority --the so-called Sudeteners --
Hugh this is a good point, and you seem to bring it out when ever the theme about deporting muslims comes around, which is everyday now. which l agree with btw.
but you note "this was done after WW2" not before in the the thirties, when it would saved millions of lives, but it had to wait for millions to die. Hugh you make logic points, but humans do not follow logic unfortunately, Hugh are you a Vulcan related to Spock? because it will take many more millions of deaths, if not more for the West to wake up about deporting muslims from Western lands.Humans are basically lazy or maybe not so mean to say humans do what it the easiest way to deal with things, until somethings happens so tragic that horrible cures are used, ie wars.
l think after WW2 people were so tired of war, that kicking out the Sudetners had not met with any resistance. try it now, see how far you go with it.
"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."
Since the article failed to mention a specific affiliation of the terrorists, I'm just going to take a wild guess here and say Amish?
But just like in America there are plenty of German fuckwits who blame the Americans for 'bringing it onto themselves'- and this view is hammered home mercilessly by the usual far left lunatics who are controlling the news media, like everywhere.
Beyond pathetic.
Nope, some other minority Christian terrorist group we hear so much about!
“Model letter to your Senator…”
Oh, and let’s add a fifth point:
5) Forget about all the contributions German immigrants have made to American culture and society.
Shouldn't the Germans be able to defend themselves by now?
It's been more than 60 years since the Nazis were gotten rid of.
Haven't they built up their own military yet?
They should be getting blown up by their own Muslims themselves.
As we should be allowing the Iraqi forces to die for their own country ....after 3 years of "training".
Basic training in the U.S. Army is only 9 weeks.
And, for a rigorous speciality, another year or so.
The Iraqis, by this time, should all be special forces wizards.
Instead, they're pretty much invisible, corrupted or useless.
Time to let the Iraqi government invite us to move our forces to the Kurdish region and allow the Iraqi military and police to show their mettle:
Mutual Muslim genocide with nice new uniforms.
We can help those who appreciate us in Kurdistan.
And keep the cruise missiles and predator drones ready for the rest.
Germany isn't the only imminent target.
Just glad they're up on it now.
Germany has the largest army on the continent.
WE are still there because we want to be there.
The germans are our allies and have proven it on more than one occasion.
This german bashing is plain old stupid.
Get a life.
