UPDATE: Casualties Rapidly Mounting
45 confirmed dead.
At least 300 injured, over 150 seriously
Terrorism very likely at this point (there was thoughts it was a transformer explosion at one point).
The British found many bombs in the tube; demolition experts are isolating them and setting them off to minimize damage.
The attack appears to be coordinated, time-sensitive attacks. First initial blasts to sow confusion, and disrupt the tube, then the other stations were targeted, then the bus was hit (it was a tour bus, btw).
There were at least 6 bombs, many are saying far more. Several stations appear to be hit (I've heard anywhere from 3-7).
Armoured vehicles have been moved into the city centre, which has been shut down. The army is patrolling in some parts.
I will have more for you folks as it develops, and as Canada Free Press gets more info.
Champagne corks popping at DNC & Moveon.org.

Of course. I know of a guy in another politics room who rejoices every time a U.S. soldier is killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. In another era, such rejoicing would be grounds for a hanging.
we should reciprocate with a few Trident missiles up their collective wazoos..
Standing right up there waving my Stars too!
I did laugh watching Fox this morning when Blair gave his speech, Martin was notably at the end of the line when they exited. Sigh. How far Canada has fallen.
The next election can't come soon enough. Let's hope we get it "right" ;)
Oh, heck I thought you were talking about the liberals till I looked at the reply that you were replying to.
Yes. It won't be long, I'm sure, 'til we hear this. In their cockeyed view of the world, up is down and down is up..
Shortly, I will pull a fast cull of links related to this- gathering them now.
Yep. Ignore the fact that hundreds of Jews died in 9/11 (and then consider the Jewish population of America and compare the proportions). Casualty wise, it was equivalent of a year or so of terror in Israel likely.
Also, by the weekend they will be blaming Bush.
You got that right. Hitlery, Kennedy, and Kerry doing the high fives, and tossing back a few with the subversive traitors and terrorists at moveon, and pfaw. Jail them all at Gitmo, and launch an invasion of Syria, and Iran coordinated with our heroic friends in Israel.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Time for them to die for Allah yet?
I don't think so. I am hoping the Brits will shake off their decades long funk and remember the virtues that allowed them to undaunted face the Nazi hordes alone and outnumbered, with courage and fortitude born of faith in G-d and country.
Rush predicted this when he opened his show this morning, although he thought it might take more than a day.
And lurking there, I saw people were suspicious of Israeli involvement, because Britain had warned their ambassador they had had word of a possible terrorist attack.
Satire gets harder every day.
As the world gets more and more absurd, it becomes a living(dying?) parody of itself.
It would work well for them too1
