FRANKFURT—The suspected gunman who killed two U.S. servicemen at Frankfurt airport Wednesday had links to Germany's radical Islamist circles, but German investigators say they currently believe he carried out the attack on his own.

Investigators suspect Arid Uka, a 21-year-old ethnic Albanian whose family moved to Germany from Kosovo, had an "Islamist" motivation for firing at U.S. Air Force personnel on a bus at the airport, according to the office of Germany's chief federal prosecutor, Monika Harms.

Among other leads, German authorities are investigating witness statements that Mr. Uka had befriended more than two years ago a known Islamist, Rami Makanesi, a Syrian-German currently in German custody on terror-related charges. Mr. Makanesi, frequented the radical mosque in Hamburg where leaders of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks met and prayed.

"Was the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords a terrorist attack? I mean, you have to look at the evidence and look at the motivation and then you make a judgment," Crowley told the Press.

The suspect in the murder of two U.S. airmen at the Frankfurt airport confessed that he specifically wanted to kill Americans as revenge for the Afghan war, a German investigator said Friday.

Prosecutor Rainer Griesbaum told reporters that 21-year-old Arid Uka from Kosovo said he went to the airport with the intent to shoot “as revenge for the American mission in Afghanistan.”

Griesbaum also said that Uka’s pistol malfunctioned during the attack, preventing further loss of life. After shooting and injuring two more.

Obama is right. He probably was just so angry about the way the tea party crowd is treating Obama that he lost his mind and decided to shoot American soilders.

Now that is disgraceful. Honest to goodness that piece of shit should be fired. Terrorism has a political motivation by definition. More incompetence by the Osama administration.

Worst fucking admn ever.

Not surprising. This guy has spent the last two years kissing Muslim ass at the expense of American citizens so why should the next two be any different? Best keep kowtowing to the supremacists as it's clearly working so well.

You really can't make up just how freaking awful this admn is. 

And yes, I consider those who still support it equally at fault and blame for the stupidity of Obama.    In fact, they are worse.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

If a campaign is run correctly/aggressively by his opposition in the 2012 election, they should be able to DESTROY him over the terrorism bullshit.  Can you imagine pulling up those type of quotes in a debate and the reaction it would get across the US?  If played correctly, it would cost Odrama a boatload of votes....even among blacks as there are a ton of blacks with military ties whether personal, thru family, etc...

(Mirror) — The airport worker who allegedly killed two US soldiers is claimed to have told police: “I did it for Allah.”

Kosovan Arid Uka, 21, is accused of shooting dead the airmen and wounding two others after attacking their bus outside the main airport in Frankfurt, Germany, earlier this week.

He allegedly shouted Islamic slogans and opened fire, later telling police he “wanted to do my bit for Jihad”. Officers said further deaths were only avoided as his pistol jammed.

Last night it was revealed that Uka’s Facebook page contained hate-filled rants against Jews. He was listed on the social networking site under his real name but had changed it to Abu Reyann, his “warrior” title.

The page is littered with references to a Holy War and attacks on “non-believers”. One message he posted said: “If someone would call you to Holy War . . . yeah, and? That is part of this beautiful religion. One is allowed to fight unbelievers when attacked.”

He calls German Chancellor Angela Merkel an unbeliever, claiming she has sided with Israel, which he described as “a declaration of war”.

Not an act of terrorism.

KCBaller - "Its an isolated incident" 

kcballer's post history regarding Islam looks like it was ripped right out of the Messiah's playbook. 

[Fury]

Ha. Even the Germans are calling it an act of Islamic terrorism. Then again, Merkel also had the balls to be the first to admit that multiculturalism has completely failed in Germany.

When the Obama Admn acts like it is lately, I feel completely vindicated in all of th things I have said since day 1 about this horrible admn, even when it was not popular to do so.

333- as each day goes by, you look less and less crazy. 

I've been less vocal about a lot of this stuff, but I agree with you almost completely.

[kcballer]

Define act of terrorism?  I mean any killing can be seen as an act of terrorism.  I'm not saying this guy is not a terrorist but just asking what makes one a terrorist and one a murderer?  Terrorism by definition is the act of the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.

Key word civilians.

He's excellent. 

Not surprised by the Administration's failure to speak the plain truth.  Reminds me of this:

Unarmed airmen sitting on a bus at a public airport in Germany = they're not combatants on a battlefield = they're civilians.

Quran 8:12: Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers.

Could you seriously kneepad for Islam any more than you already do? You are easily the most clueless and naive person on this board when it comes to it. It's almost nauseating watching you try to spin every negative thing about this off of Islam and onto something else (usually the US or the people who were murdered by some adherent of this totalitarian geopolitical ideology masquerading as a religion).

Committing premeditated murder for political reasons is terrorism. I mean, are you that fucking dense? Are radical islamist groups putting out newsletters, broadcasts on the internet and actively recruiting "Lone Wolf's" ( a call to arms to muslims around the world to engage in jihad) because they aren't terrorists seeking to radicalize and influence more terrorism? Get a clue reatrd. This was an act of terrorism. So was Fort Hood. So was the failed Times Square bombing. So was the incident at the airport last Xmas in Chicago. So was the failed attempt to blow up JFK a couple of summers ago. So was and so was and so was. Face reality and take your head out of your ass.

Wow.....I honestly did not realize that kcballer was this stupid or willing to excuse a blatant terrorist act because of empathy for the cause.....not sure which...

Must have been the climate of hate created by Palin, Beck, et al.

He does it every single time. I'm guessing it's a little bit of both.

He can't bring himself to admit he has been wrong all these years buying into the drivel and tripe from the likes of CAIR, MoveOn, Code Pinko, INTL ANSWER, etc.

Can't blame him really. He's one of those guys that also thinks Obama is doing a bang-up job.

[The Showstoppa]

There are certain cases that might come up that someone MIGHT have an argument.....but there hasn't been a shred of anything other than this guy was a terrorist who attacked Americans because of his political and religious belief......if that doesn't define it, then I don't know what does.  And trying to put "military" members in some type of separate category just further erodes and and all credibility.

[Soul Crusher]

Don't know about that BF - I see a fizzure now.

1.  People like Benny, Mal, Andre etc - who would support Obama no matter what.  We all know why.  

2.  People like KC, Straw, TA, and a few others are pissed at Obama because he has not even gone more over the cliff on the crazy WTF policies.  

I could be wrong, but it seems like there is a contingent of people not thrilled with Obama because he has not gone far enough for them.
