3. "If the pizza guy don't get you, the shoe bombers will." - Commander AWOL

"It's a dangerous world, what with all kinds of shoes and pizza and shit. So sit down, shut up and give us all your tax money so we can distribute it to our corrupt and incompetent cabal of republicon crony war profiteers. We republicons will pretend to protect you."

- Commander AWOL

2. There's got to be a Clinton connection here somewhere

Clinton likes Pizza? There is a C in Clinton and a C in Pocono? Trying. Hard. to think like a conservative. Must. not. take responsibility for anything. bush. good.

5. Good detective work, Boss

You could qualify as an honorary republicon with that line of reasoning.

Has anyone offered you a radio show yet?

P.S. Here's some documentary photographic evidence:

[NewJeffCT]

10. I knew a pizza delivery guy from Algeria once

and he was Muslim. And, since I'm a Democrat, I must know Bill Clinton. So, there is the Islamo-fascist connection to Clinton right there!

4. Did they have heart shaped beds in their hotel rooms?

[KoKo]

13. LOL's.... Yep....the idea of terrorists training in the Poconos

:spray:

[global1]

16. They Learned How To Swim In Champaign Glass Tubs Too.....

but I guess the honeymoon is over.

[yellowcanine]

19. Yep, with a mirror above the bed also.

[gatorboy]

6. Are these the Yugoslavians they were talking about this morning?

[babylonsister]

17. Yes. nt

[Bitwit1234]

7. So....if they hadn't got a tip.....

The Homeland Security Department, the FBI and the Bush Administration proclaim loud and clear THEY ARE THE REPUBLICANS and they will protect. If they hadn't gotten a tip, how in the devil would they have found them....some protection.

I am glad they did get them, who ever tipped them off should be rewarded.

11. Yes....I found the article here's a link:

Caught in sting
A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because documents in the case remain sealed, said the men were arrested while trying to buy automatic weapons in a sale set-up by law enforcement authorities.

The official said that the men had lived in the United States for some time and were arrested as part of a joint federal and local investigation.

The Star-Ledger of Newark reported on its Web site that the men had agreed to buy AK-47 assault rifles from an arms dealer who was secretly cooperating with the FBI. It cited a law enforcement person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak about the arrests.

Intelligence officials told NBC News' Robert Windrem that they do not believe the plot was directed by al-Qaida because it did not match the key al-Qaida tenet: spectacular multiple simultaneous attacks.

However, the idea that the men were using al-Qaida training films and following al-Qaida goals shows that there is a large number of people who can create such plots inspired by the terrorist organization, the officials said.

FBI spokeswoman Jerri Williams said U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie and J.P. Weis, special agent in charge of the FBI in Philadelphia, planned a news conference later Tuesday to discuss the arrests.

8. More evidence that counter-terrorism is police work....

not a job for the military.

[Toots]

9. Oh my God and I let my stock in duct tape go......

Let's see how terrified America becomnes of six guys and a pizza delivery man....

[Zywiec]

15. I don't think all of America should be terrified of 6 guys

but if you know people who live and work at Fort Dix, you might be a little concerned. I do not automatically discredit everything that comes from the FBI like it seems so many here do.

[dogday]

12. I wonder if the terrorist had a room with a

heart shaped bathtub... You always see those rooms advertised in the Poconos.... Hell of a place to train for terror....

[jsamuel]

14. This is actually a good story. It seems that they were tipped, did surveillance

waited until they had enough evidence, then arrested them. Now they are going through the courts to be convicted, not to Guantanamo. That is the way it should be done.

Thanks.

18. I hear they were in the Poconos looking for a mogul......
