May 9, 2007 -- "WELL, here is the thanks we get. Eight years ago, America opened its arms to tens of thousands of ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo. The first planeload landed at Fort Dix. Military leaders worked day and night to turn the base into a child-friendly village. They coordinated medical checkups, mental health and trauma counseling and ethnic-food preparations.
Soldiers from Fort Bragg traveled up from North Carolina to assist the refugee operations. Then-U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mitchell M. Zais also assembled a team of about 80 soldiers from the U.S. Army Reserve Command in Atlanta. The New Jersey National Guard and American Red Cross teamed up to coordinate charity relief. The military also supported the relief effort's interagency task force, headed by the Department of Health and Human Services.
In addition to food and shelter, we provided translators, welfare consultants and Muslim chaplains. The base constructed prayer rooms and handed out Muslim "sensitivity" cards to the troops. Said Gen. Zais: "We want to welcome these people to America the way we might wish our grandparents and great-grandparents had been welcomed to Ellis Island."
Fast forward from 1999 to yesterday's headline: "Fort Dix Plot Aimed At Soldiers; Authorities Say 6 Islamic Militants Arrested, Were Plotting Attack At N.J. Base." Three of the alleged plotters were illegal-alien brothers from the former Yugoslavia. Another was a legal permanent resident from the former Yugoslavia. Another hailed from Jordan, and the sixth was a naturalized American citizen originally from Turkey.
According to the criminal complaint against Dritan Duka, one of the brothers accused of knowingly and willfully conspiring with the jihadi gang to kill U.S. soldiers, the plotters have schemed for more than a year to murder our troops. They scoped out Dover Air Force Base and Fort Monmouth, as well as the Port of Philadelphia, before settling on Fort Dix. One of the participants used to deliver pizza to the base - used to supply food to our men and women in uniform giving him business - and knew the military facility "like the palm of his hand."
How ludicrous is it, that we are in the middle of a war and allow pizza delivery men free reign of a military base? At least as brain-zero as Malkin expecting thanks from moslems.
