It's all about Iraq!

I see that the German authorities have busted a massive terrorist plot to blow up nightclubs, pubs and airports in Germany. That will teach those pesky Germans for invading Iraq. Had they not done that then it wouldn't have happened! errrr you sure - Ed?

Goes to show that " Something must be done" about terrorists

Or does it prove that the German government have been harbouring terror cells and that the country needs "regime change"???

they were going to target pubs, nightclubs and airports frequented by multiple nationalities. Bombs are not designed to check passports first.

At least, being joint targets for terrorist threats is SOMETHING that we have in common.

Are you suggesting we're no more of a target to these terrorists than if we had not invaded Iraq?

i dont profess to understand their logic, for sure others would have been injured, but the 'target' was to have been servicemen.

To be fair, the Krauts are in Afghanistan. In a safe barracks in a safe province. They check the rations in the morning und play folleyball in ze afternoons. Und zey get medals for zis.

The target was Frankfurt International airport. Saying it was just about merkins is bollocks.

Dizzy while I take your point (Al-Qaeda will target any western nation regardless of the being in Iraq) they were also targeting the Ramstein military base - Reason, its the staging post for US troops going in or going out of Iraq.

The targets as a total suggest that Americans are peripheral to the overall aim for these nutters.

And as anybody knows who has been to Frankfurt Airport, there is a separate gate and departure area for US troops, the entrance to which is quite conspicuous and obvious frm the main concourse.

Your point being?
