ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) -- Trucks packed with explosives blew up at a London-based bank and the British consulate Thursday, killing at least 26 people and wounding nearly 450. The worst terrorist bombing in Turkey's history coincided wit...

"I'm getting more and more pissed at the French and Germans and their non-commitment to the war on terror. I almost hope that the Eiffel Tower got blown up (and nobody hurt of course). "

I am ever more certain history will not be kind to either.

[CWOJackson]

Not exactly smart of them.

If you intention is warn Turkey away murdering "invited" diplomats under their protection isn't a smart move. This only insults the Turk pride.

[roses of sharon]

Yes, just as they have blamed Israel for decades.

My question for the left is:

Why do you support those who murder innocents if they don't get their way on a foreign policy debate?

Moderate” Muslims try to equivocate Islamofascists to the KKK or other fringe Christian groups. I’ve never understood why they make this comparison—it falls flat on it’s face when one studies the world wide population of Muslim.

Well, this type of equivication (to other situations that have little bearing to the topic on hand) is the kind of lame ass argument left thinking people always put forward. Their philosophy is if you can't put up a meaningful argument then make some off centre comparison in order to deflect criticism and to ignore the real reason something is occurring.

[Ashamed Canadian]

The ignorant masses, who can only think what the leftist press tells them to, haven't heard a call to wake up, but a call to appease the terrorists.

The ignorant and brainwashed masses.

[Truth Table]

Ashamed-

Yep. Thanks.

[RetiredArmy]

Mummmm. The religion of peace strikes again.

[Indie]

In addition, the Islamofascists who are not directly involved such as those working in US companies next to you and I everyday, are conspirators by their very silence. Where is their outrage? There is none.

May God gramt peace to the families of the victims. And may God give us the strength and the will to blow these sons of ****** to h***.

This is a war. A war for the control of the world. Nothing less. "Delete" them all..and let God sort 'em out.

Thank you for taking the time to post those accounts from the BBC Board. I noticed how many mention September 11, as if it has suddenly become real to them. I guess everybody lives with the sort of "can't happen here" fantasy, and but that's certainly gone now for the poor Turks.

[Smogger]

26 Dead so far. Over 400 injured.

May God grant...

Amen

Thanks for posting those comments.

The terrorists will never hit France. That's probably where SH and OBL are hiding. And maybe Michael Jackson as well. LOL!

[Truth Table]

...Come to think of it, I think that the only Muslim who has been frank about Islamofascism is Monsoor Ijaz. Not only does Monsoor acknowledge it, but so did his dad. Ijaz does not describe the religion as being "hijacked" he describes it as being eaten alive by cancer that is growing at an ever increasing rate. "HiJack" and "Cancer" offer two entirely different mental pictures.

As fate and Irony would have it, he is also a democrat. Go figure...

The prime minister responded to speculations that the synagogue bombings were meant as a message to his government by stating "We will slap them down and trample them.."

That should say it all...

[Flashman_at_the_charge]

They'll get what's coming to them.

[MARETHLINE]

Van I just as a Brit myself I almost felt like slapping that reporter who said that comment! There are a lot of 'foreigners' involved in the protest too which pisses me as well. I welcome Bush into the country and the protesters are a minority, if everybody hated Bush then Bush wouldn't have come here. There are a lot of pro Bush rally's going on too but our press like to see the bad side of things!!!
Michael Moore is not one them, he insisted that Britain should protest fully. Do it on your own turf mate!!!

"Pres. Roosevelt, how does it feel to know that people are dying today becuase you and PM Churchill are meeting?"

"Pres. Roosevelt, why do the German Nazis hate you so much?"

"What did the Jews do to make the Nazis hate them so much?"

"What did the Czecks do to make Hitler so mad at them?"
