No reason they couldn't have had all the plans laid (and similar ones for other cities) except for the date -- just waiting for the "Go!" signal. Weren't we finding all kinds of plans, subway layouts, etc. when we first invaded Iraq? (Here, too, I think -- on seized computers.)

The U.S. terror alert should be raised.

Injured tube passengers are escorted away from Edgware Road Tube Station in London following an explosion, Thursday July 7, 2005. An explosion destroyed a double-decker bus in central London during rush hour Thursday, police said. Two other blasts also went off in other buses, reports said. The explosion near Russell Square occurred not long after blasts on London subways earlier Thursday, police said. Dow Jones Newswires reported that police confirmed explosions on at least two others buses. One of the buses exploded near Russell Square, police said. A witness said the entire top deck of that bus was destroyed. (AP Photo/ Jane Mingay)

Well I'm not calm. I want revenge.

Yes, I do believe that this attack is going to have the opposite effect in London and the US, to what the terrorists hoped to accomplish. Our resolve was starting to slip. The left was beginning to gain ground with their anti-war, blame America first rhetoric. This will wake up the world to the danger that is Islam. I don't care if that sounds politically incorrect. Terrorism isn't politically correct, either.

Tony Blair expected to speak shortly. Likely to return to London.

Terrorists I would say. But who: IRA? (outside bet at the moment) - G8 Anarchists? (timing would make sense, but not really their style) - Islamists (That's the gut reaction).

Or a combination of 2 or all 3. Don't forget that a couple of years ago IRA members were training with Muslim terrorists in S. America rebel camps.

Then payback will soon be given, I'd say.

[Crazieman]

Hard to say - there's 4 possible culprits.

Islamonazis
IRA
Communists(anti-G8 people)
London getting the Olympics

If it's Muslims, they have learned to do their planning in person and not on cell phones.

I would still be asleep if I hadn't heard the Fox gong.

Call Howlin.

Call Howlin ! This is no small event.

The U.S. terror alert should be raised.

Yes it should, immediately.

Glad to see you on the boards, MI, stay safe...JFK

[leadpenny]

Tony Blair to speak momentarily.

It's a Muzzy attack. I heard some moron on MSNBC saying perhaps it was the IRA. Fool. It's the Muzzies. It's always the Muzzies. I have family in London. I just talked to one person there, but I can't reach the rest of the family.

[MadIvan]

Oh dear God.
