Terrorism in London

[Remey688]

London sufferent a major Terrorist Attack. Early reports indicate that 6 undergraond rail stations were bombed along with a single double decker bus. Information continuing to come in.

At least 6 bombs were planted, 5 in the "underground" (subway to us Yanks) and one on a bus, be interesting to know if that one was a homicide bomber.

We know 4 bombs detonated, the bus bomb and 3 subway and 2 failed and were found in the post explosion site search along with pieces of timers and bomb parts.

The forensics guys are probably having a field day with the two duds and should be able to give Scotland Yard some real good info on our bombers. When bombers fuck up, it's usually here.

33% failure rate on these bombs indicates knowledge, but not a lot of experience. Maybe these turds are linked to the bunch that managed to blow themselves and their row house to Mars when they fucked up.

Good to hear from you Remey.
Take care buddy.

How long do you think before we get hit here at home again?

Hopefully we will find the scum responsible for these cowardly attacks.

It's times like this that continue to convince me of the importance of finishing our job in Iraq and Afganistan, and furthering our policy.

I hate to predict on things like this, but perhaps when the Dems start to come back to power and we see a return of deplomacy at all costs type government, we'll see ourselves gently sway back into a situation which the terrorists will take advantage of.

Other than that, I dont know

This is why it is important to eliminate the terrorists and their supporters before the Dems can come back to power. Remember in last year's election when Bin Laden vowed any state that went to Kerry would be safe from terror attacks? Of course this was reported very briefly in the media and never repeated. Do we really have to wonder whose side the terrorists are on?

Hunt down and kill every terrorists before the Democrats make a comeback? Please tell me you don't actually buy into that line of bullshit.

It's frightening to see that you bought into Bin Laden's claim that states going to kerry would be safe? This is actually the first I've heard of this one, but if it's true, then you're playing right into the hands of these terrorists. They don't give a rat's ass if your a Republican, Democrat, etc. They hate all of us equally. We're westerners. That's all they see. FOr you to buy that crap is exactly what they want. They'd be pleased to see that their biggest ally is the gullability of Americans. They don't always need massive, catostrophic attacks to be happy. Creating division, fear, and uncertainty is also a key weapon in their arsenal.

More to the point it's necessary to take away as many sources of funding and support as possible prior to the inevitable Dummycrat comeback. Hussein's regime was a major one as was the Taliban (support and safe haven more than money in their case,) as well as the Saudis and Iran.

Diplomatic pressure on the Saudi Royal Family (about as "ROYAL" as I am BTW) and ministries is having an effect and we are seeing small steps in the right direction there, though they still have a long way to go before I would be satisfied. A majority of the sheethead foreign fighters and homicide bombers now in Iraq are Saudis slipping into the country though Syria, recent products of the Madrasas Schools.

The real bugbear is now Iran and it's radical theocracy. Once the Mullah's running the place are ready I think we will see them become more open in their support of the Islamist terrorists and we will also see them make threats against any of their neighbors who support us, even a little.

Once they have nukes it's a whole new ball game. They already possess missiles capable of reaching throughout the entire mid-east, covering most of Egypt, parts of Europe, most of Asia and points east well into Indochina.

All they need are warheads. I have to wonder how long it would be before Telaviv grows a mushroom cloud after that.

I think CS probably meant that we should keep up with our aggressive policy towards terrorists while conservatives still hold power. Perhaps even step it up a notch.

I hadn't heard of the Bin Laden quote either, but I agree of course that the terrorists couldn't care less who we vote to lead our nation.
