Uh-oh

This can't be good:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States condemned an attack that killed Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, a U.S. State Department official said on Thursday.

"The attack shows that there are still those in Pakistan trying to undermine reconciliation and democratic development in Pakistan," the official said.

Bhutto was killed in a gun and bomb attack after a rally in the city of Rawalpindi on Thursday.

Still ruminating on what the outcome(s) might be, but I figured I'd get this out there for comment.

This is Why Illegal Immigration is a Problem

Can't say it better than the article linked above.

When Elvis and Dritan Duka, two of the three brothers arrested on terrorism charges in Fort Dix, were kids, they were neighborhood bullies. When they got a little older, they became drug dealers.

How do I know? They grew up in my neighborhood, my brother and his friends used to brawl with them on a fairly regular basis. My brother's best friend's mom was friends with their mom. Then they moved to New Jersey and became Jihadis. Of all possible paths for the Duka kids, that one didn't seem the most likely.

They've been here since they were kids, illegally it turns out, lived American lives, went to our public schools, and then decided to try and kill some of our troops. I don't know that I'll ever get used to this world.

If memory serves, weren't many of the 9/11 hijackers also here illegally? I think I remember something about some of them overstaying their student visas, but I could be wrong.

And people wonder why people like me are so up in arms about illegal immigration.

Hat Tip: Wizbang!

Terror Arrest in New Jersey

Details are still sketchy, but it looks like the news is conspiring to show that the war on terror is still going on.

Six people were arrested on Monday in connection with an alleged plot to murder as many soldiers as possible at Fort Dix, according to various media sites.

The men, ethnic Albanians, allegedly attempted to purchase automatic weapons from an arms dealer working with the FBI and were arrested in New Jersey after officials learned of the plans, a law enforcement source said.

The undercover investigation followed the men, three of whom are brothers, from New Jersey to the Poconos, where they allegedly practiced firing automatic weapons.

Officials raided the homes of the men, described as Islamic radicals, and said there is video showing some of the alleged planning.

Betcha some surrender-now Democrats are going to be really upset at this reminder that many Muslims still want to kill us.
