An American Beslan? By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, March 20, 2007 4:20 PM PT

Homeland Security: As Democrats hold more silly hearings to embarrass Republicans, the FBI is warning local police to be alert for Muslim extremists hijacking school buses. Reality check, please.

We wonder if any of the grandstanding politicians on Capitol Hill are thinking in terms of one of these nuts driving a fertilizer-filled yellow bus up to a government building — or, easier yet, a school. Of course not. They're too busy swooning over Valerie Plame to even notice we're still under threat from the Islamic terrorists they say we shouldn't be spying on.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department last week sent out a bulletin to law enforcement across the country warning that Muslims with "ties to extremist groups" are signing up to be school bus drivers. They also noted "recent suspicious activity" by foreigners who drive school buses or are licensed to drive them.

Recent events come on top of several other school bus-related incidents involving Mideast men that raise suspicion of terror activity.

They include last year's surprise boarding of a school bus in Florida by two Saudi men dressed in trench coats. Authorities suspect they were making a dry run to see how easy it would be to hijack or blow up a school bus filled with American children.

Previously, an Arab man from Detroit was caught trying to obtain a job as a school bus driver in New York using fake Social Security documents.

Authorities fear the school massacre that took place in Beslan, Russia, in 2004 may be a dress rehearsal for what al-Qaida plans to do here. Chechen terrorists tied to al-Qaida seized a building in Beslan on the first day of school and slaughtered 338, including 172 kids.

Three years later, schools and local police in this country are still unprepared to deal with such an assault. Most don't have response plans for handling a single active shooter, let alone a cell of trained terrorists.

Yet terror cells secreted inside America may be planning to use buses as a Trojan horse to infiltrate school campuses and murder students and teachers. Floor plans for schools in Virginia, Texas and New Jersey have been recovered from terrorist hands in Iraq. Videotapes confiscated in Afghanistan show al-Qaida terrorists practicing the takeover of a school.

Simultaneous attacks on schools in multiple states would follow Osama bin Laden's goal of crippling the U.S. economy. If multiple schools were hit, parents would drop out of the work force en masse to protect their children.

A prolonged labor disruption would cost businesses billions of dollars in lost revenue.

It's a grim picture. But don't think for a moment that al-Qaida is above targeting school children. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed said in his Gitmo confession that while he may not like killing kids, they're fair game in jihad. He claims U.S. forces bombed and killed the children of bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman Zawahiri, and arrested and "abused" his own children.

These people have nothing better to do than sit around and think of ways to kill us and our most precious resource, our children. They have many helpers placed inside U.S. cities who canvass targets and perform other logistics for such attacks. And these people will stop at nothing to pull them off. They're just waiting for the right time, when our guard is down.

Are we witnessing with Muslim men trying to obtain bus licenses what some alert (but ignored) agents witnessed before 9/11 when they noticed a number of Muslim men training to obtain pilot's licenses? Are schools and children the target of the next wave of terror attacks?

Parents should be outraged that Washington would continue to play politics with national security. Instead of using hearings to score partisan points, Congress would best serve constituents by using that power to investigate the terror threat to schools and how best to protect our children from attack.

The three words here

[ought-six]

If they pull a Beslan here they are toast. There would be no holding back the American Street. The American people would take matters into their own hands, because it's pretty certain the government would not act against this scourge that is now becoming prevalent in our midst.

[metmom]

So much for your conclusion that the extremists probably weren't muslim at all.

[metmom]

I've had kids tell me what goes on on buses. Horrific. They're worse than the schools.

See the links I posted and think of the anti war protests.

SDS

ANSWER

Hitler's Islamic name was Abu Ali.

el Husseini who partnered with Hitler was directly related to Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa el-Husseini, or as we know him, Yassir Arafat.

Saddam Hussein was Kharaillah Tulfah's son in law. He worked with the pro-Nazi Haj Amin al-Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

The Nazi Background of Saddam Hussein

SDS worked with Goebbels and Huber during the WW2 era as their propaganda tool. They were raised up to be flash mobs and such in the Youth Camps.

SDS was also supplied by American I.G. (General Aniline & Film) during the Vietnam Anti War protests.

American I.G.'s parent company, I.G. Farben supplied Hitler with the concentration camps. Correct name of the camps were, I.G. Auschwitz.

WW2 never ended.

OMG, I didn't realize that there were hostages never accounted for from that mess. God help them.

Lebensborn was (or is?) a child welfare and relocation program initiated by Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler to aid the racial heredity of the Third Reich. The program was implemented in Germany and certain parts of occupied Europe. Acutally, MORE than certain parts.

Tidbits on Iran:

In 1991, the first war of the Gulf is the occasion of a new push of despotism. Under pretext of protect them from the dangers to which the engagements expose, 2 months old to 15 years, 800 children of the members of Moujahideen are separated from the parents and are dispatched in Europe. These children will become a means of pressure on the parents who were threatened never to re-examine them if they “disobeyed” Rajavi.

• RED LEBENSBORN

The “Lebensborn” of Radjavi worked beings without family fasteners, insensitive and superbly faithful to the Organization. In Occident, these children allow the movement to collect social assistances. They also take part in the collection campaigns of funds organized on the public highway.

If, in spite of these restrictions and handling, somebody tries to leave the Organization of Moujahideen, it is found in the prison of the camp of Achraf, then extradited towards Iran or carried out.

Good for you, Pandoraou812. I'm glad you don't want to override your instincts with words from your friends or the school.

[Calpernia]

Peter, the post I copied over from you, above, did they ever find the hostages?

[TigersEye]

Did you see Glenn Beck tonight? He was all over this subject. I don't know who his gooberment guest was but he didn't get it. He made some comment like "They've (the jihadists) have never targeted schools." Glenn missed his chance to say "Ever heard of Beslan?"

[MonicaG]

Good post about the blinding pride of the "open minded." Glad you saw the light!

[metmom]

They'd really have to try it in city schools, where people are less likely to be armed. Out here in the country, well, everybody hunts. The kids at school go hunting together, sometimes right after school lets out. Let's just say that an armed intruder in this district might be getting more than he bargained for.

[metmom]

Far as I know, muslims are the only ones who deliberately target children. If they ever do, none will be safe. 9/11 was bad enough.

[Calpernia]

>>>Far as I know, muslims are the only ones who deliberately target children.

Then you missed or didn't understand my posts.

Socialists target them too.

WHY? Why are we permitting this?

A good question. An even better question: with candidates like Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo in the race who have identified the problem and pledged to stop it, why aren't we willing to fight on their behalf? Why are the three frontrunners politicians who have pledged to make the problem worse?

Are they any examples of Muslims assimilating?

There are some. I fellow I know in Ohio converted to Christianity and runs a ministry to try and reach Muslims. Another friend of mine is a pretty good American - but an awful Muslim. At any rate these two gentlemen are hardly typical of what happens and are but a tiny minority.

[Monterrosa-24]

I'm in Hunter's camp. We so desperately need some real leadership and somebody with the guts to say no more student visas for students from Islamic countries with connections to Islamic terrorism.

I am going to watch him now...~P~

[pandoraou812]

Thanks...I am telling you though everyone thinks I am nuts. I really don't care, when my gut tells me something whenever I went against it I was sorry. Living in Brick NJ the so called safest city in the USA doesn't make me feel better. I wish they would stop that...I feel like it will our schools more of a target for those nuts. I pray now more then I ever did before..
