#1 "mistakenly boarded the school bus"

If you believe that, I've got a bridge I want to sell you.

#2 They have a very limited command of the English language

IMO, it's more of a fundamental difference in world-view, Ahmed.

#3 This was a dry run for a suicide bombing. Make no mistake. It was to test the response. Sure, these chuckleheads will get deported, but they weren't planning to stay, anyway.

#6 I sure hope this doesn't discourage other aspiring Saudi students from coming to America to broaden their horizons and build bridges of friendship and brotherhood between our two peoples.

#8 In the original story they lied about more than being from Saudi Arabia. They lied about why they were going to the school, why they got on the bus, where they were from, how long they were in the country, all sorts of shit. CAIR steps in to bail their asses out, explain it all away as a "simple misunderstanding", yeah right. They were casing the joint and got pinched. With the current Politically Correct mania in Tampa do you really think a cop is going to put himself through that hell for nothing by arresting a couple of arabs for nothing??

#9 The problems resulted from a language barrier.

The problems resulted from a VISA and IMMIGRATION POLICY debacle!

#10 How can they be on a scholarship if they "have a very limited command of the English language"?

#12 So, why hasn't this simple mistake occured several times in the past? We've had plenty of Saudi stoonts here in the USA for some time now. I smell dry-run-for-an-another-mass-murder-atrocity. The Saudis have already proven their proclivity for substantial mayhem. What do you say that we stop giving these two any more chances?

#13 You guys are being way too cynical: its Tampa just on the eve of what the gov't says will be a very active hurricae season, Tampa is in a prime location to be ravaged by a storm and these guys are obviously aware of what happened to the New Orleans bus system when Katrina stopped by. they just want to see that these busses run. C'mon, give 'em a break......
