"...and some are just annoyed at the delay."
Part of our Achilles heel is our demand never to be made uncomfortable, never to be inconvenienced. It's like a sickness. Sorry for the attack on your nation, my friend. Ours is a shared battle. We will win.

"I must say it bothers me that Al Qaeda was able to plan and conduct the attacks. Why did NO ONE have a clue that this kind of thing is to be expected when there's a summit of global leaders going on anywhere?"Unfortunately, the "clues" had been the Brits giving Al Qaeda and various Islamofascists groups carte blanche to openly assemble, organize, and spout their venomous hatred of the West in public with impunity.
Will all that now change?
Even if a high-profile summit of global leaders was a red meat cue for Al Qaeda to wreak havoc for maximum PR effect, was it really all that surprising to discover they conducted such attacks with alarming ease?
The only solution -- and damn "civil libereties" groups -- is to root out ALL known Al Qaeda organizations and members and deport them immediately -- whether it's Britain or the US.

Absolutely, and as long as these disgusting special interest groups of the anarchist get treated like royalty by the MSM and the DUMS, this C**p will continue.
The time for nicities is over. The can STFU, War is WAR, and we must demand that our spineless congress critters start taking as much responsibility for the security of the U.S. as our troops and the Minutemen Do.

They probably have been planning this for a while. They are looking for a Tet Offensive like event which American (MSM) Leftist Media can use for propaganda to weaken American resolve, straight out of the Vietnam playbook.
They will not waste the effort attacking secure targets, though, expect them to go after the helpless, the weaker elements of our society, and any society they attack. Schools, the average worker, children, whatever will give them the highest terror value for their explosives.
They have done this in Israel, they have done this in the rest of the world, hitting schools, nightclubs, and public transportation: hitting civillians, not soldiers.
They are cowards all.

I heard one person from WWII say this:
"While I hated the Nazi's, hated the Germans, that was not the object of my greatest hatred.
"My greatest hatred was what they made me become, in order to defeat them."
Wise words. Let us become savage in response to them. We will have the luxury to hate what we needed to do, later. I agree. I don't know who it was, but centuries ago a military strategist once said, "It is your enemy that determines where you fight, whom you fight, when you fight and how you fight. If you fail to meet your enemy in any of these, you will be defeated."
Seems that we have no choice but to "sink to their level", simply because that is where they are. That is where they've chosen to take this battle.

Just heard. Prayers up, I hope you and yours are ok. This is terrible, just terrible.
Bollocks, when will the Libs and the rest of the idiots in the world understand that we are at war.

Forgive my French but they're heartless BASTARDS!
As GWB said the contrast of what world leaders attending the G8 are trying to accomplish (rid the world of poverty, famine, disease) vs. those whose aim is to kill and destroy is mind boggling and defines good vs. evil.
Apparently they kill indiscriminately as foxnews is reporting that Edgware Rd is a Moslem area.

""We shall have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst, and we will do our best....We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder. Prepare yourselves then, my friends and comrades, for this renewal of your exertions. We shall never turn from our purpose, however sombre the road, however grievous the cost, because we know that out of this time of trial and tribulation will be born a new freedom and glory for all mankind." - Winston Churchill
Amen, amen, and right-on, Ivan! My heart goes out to you and your country! May the spirit of that great hero and friend whose picture you posted fill the hearts of everyone in Britain! I read some years ago when the first RAF bombers were going to take off to hit Berlin, a cockney from the East End said to Churchill "give it 'em back!" I don't know if the story was real or apocryphal, but from Virginia I say to you and your nation....GIVE IT 'EM BACK! And may the USA stand fully with you as you do!
To: MadIvan
MI, as you've stood with us throughout, I hope my countrymen stand with you through this--with you in pain, with you in prayer, with you in arms, with you in victory!

I think is simply titled 9/11. If you have never seen it, you owe it to yourself, just so you can keep that day in context. It makes you remember all the feelings you had that day. Not a good thing, I admit, but for some, necessary. If you have trouble finding it, freepmail me.

I would say it's time to fire up the nukes, personally. Don't forget the cobalt jackets.

Good luck and may God and of course the US stand beside you. I think the terrorists forgot that London has been through this before and stood strong.

Sounds like this POS Mayor of London who has been in bed with the Islamofascists may have finally woke up.
He will still probably blame GW, Tony and John Howard before the week is over.

The English have been through a lot worse. The amount of damage in this attack is not significant in either a military sense or in an economic sense. It may have some propaganda value, except the English still are allowed pitchforks and hoe handles and aren't about to give in to a group of 20 young people.
