No fire needed. Just an Al Qeada battalion traveling into Europe firing nerve gas artillery clearing the way for the suicide gas squads.

Ugly from our perspective, but the Islamic Terrorists wont think it is ugly at all. They will be getting their tickets to paradise. The Israelis are keeping a close eye, while Obama is checking basketball scores on his blackberry.

And of course our allies are doing everything they can to stabilize the situation.
