This was clearly a terrorist attack.

Crap. I was just there a few weeks ago.

And I thought my final destination in Iraq was the dangerous part of the trip.

For the sake of accuracy, these military personnel were AIRMEN not soldiers, USAF Security Force members on their way to deployment in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Rest in peace, Defenders.

No, it was just a poor Amish boy, ticked off after a hard day of work and an argument with his boyfriend, blowing off steam at an airport. It’s not his fault that there was a gun in his hand. That’s all a part of the German gun culture, which they get from nearby Switzerland, of course. The airmen just happened to be on the wrong bus at the wrong time, and the sight of those imperialist running dogs on a bus made the Amish youth go berserk. There is no terrorism, just man made disasters. President Obama will arrive shortly to do a shout-out at a friend in the audience, and then say a few words of comfort with an annoyed look on his face to the berieved, as Westboro congregants picket the funeral.
