#1 Awww. What happened to the fruits of popularity and vigorous diplomacy of the empty suit president? No magic protection from idiot jihadists? I'm stunned.

Still unlikely I'd read beyond the headline if any Euro country were hit with a mass-casualty attack. I would look for hilarious gymnastics from the idiots now passing as journalists and pundits and analysts, however, between bicycle and handgun shopping errands.

#2 Obama has never suggested diplomatic outreach to AQ, or that diplomacy should be our ONLY tool.

#3 Report: Barack Obama's Al Qaida initiative began months before his election
Barack Obama was working with Arab intermediaries to establish an unofficial dialogue with Al Qaida long before his election as the 44th U.S. president, according to a report in the upcoming weekly edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com.

Al Qaida has offered what has been described as a truce in exchange for a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to the report.

Obama has deemed the U.S. reconciliation with the Muslim world, including Iran, as his main foreign policy goal, sources quoted in the report said. The president has been aided by several Persian Gulf Arab Muslims with ties to Al Qaida's leadership in Pakistan, they said.

On his first day in office, Obama ordered the shutdown of the U.S. Navy prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which where 245 suspected Al Qaida members are detained.

#4 Yes, he pretty much lied when this was raised during the election, didn't he Ed?

A deafening silence from the left on such things, of course.

#5 Hopefully, it doesn't come to pass.

AQ doing anything except dying is detrimental for the free world.

#6 The terrorists had better watch out. The German police have no tolerance for terrorists committing unlicensed acts of terrorism. There are rules for everything in Germany.

Terrorists who break the rules probably wake up with their head surgically attached to the body of a pig.
