These multiple, coordinated attacks have Al Qaeda's fingerprints all over them. They're obviously trying to do to our Brit friends what they did to the Spanish, hoping for the same political results, but I think the Islamofascists are going to get a really rude surprise since MI-6 has a number of go-getters like this on staff with which to deal with the terrorists:

[naturalman1975]

Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned.
God make thee mightier yet!
On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned,
Once more thy crown is set.
Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained,
Have ruled thee well and long;
By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained,
Thine Empire shall be strong.

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

Thy fame is ancient as the days,
As Ocean large and wide:
A pride that dares, and heeds not praise,
A stern and silent pride:
Not that false joy that dreams content
With what our sires have won;
The blood a hero sire hath spent
Still nerves a hero son.

No doubt the socialists in the U.S. They will blame President Bush and the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. They will demand the U.S.troops be withdrawn immediately.

I was so happy for them yesterday, the only down point was they would be open to terrorism since the world's eye was on them. Now terrorists picked the trifecta...the G8, Olympics site, helper of America in the WOT. All watched by the world. But they just messed up...cause if I know Blair...He will tell them to set their cajones on the table in that meeting (ala Bush 'either you're with us or against us'). Israel called to warn them about some intelligence on it right before the blasts happened.
God Bless Them...I know what they're going through and what they face. I hope some countries (except the frog of course), will really step up against terrorism now. Not because they're scared their athletes and tourists may be lost in the summer olympics...but because the jihadists are going for the dominion of the world. It will never happen though.

Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke;
More dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke.
As the loud blast, the blast that tears the skies
Serves but to root the native oak.

Let us not forget the Brits stood with us in the WOT, and now it is critical that America stand with them.

Sooner or later the entire non muslim world is going to hate all muslims.

Okay, tell me again someone why we should not lock up terrorists extremists at Gitmo. And tell me why the savages who did this are terrorists, but the ones who kill civilian noncombatants in Iraq are "insurgents." These "insurgents" say they're al Qaeda, so why are some al Qaeda terrorists, but some are not?

Yesterday when the story broke that London was going to host the Olympics my first thought was man this could be a security mess. I thought that it would be a perfect time for terrorists to strike at the Brits and was happy that the US did not get to host these games. Looks as though the terrorists are not waiting for the games to start and are sending a message to Britain of what is to come. Hopefully, they have shown their hand too soon and the British security and military can root them out.

It was not clear if the G-8 gathering [...] would have to be postponed.

The worst thing they could do would be to postpone this - why is the AP even mentioning it?

Oh.

Right.

Never mind.

Prayers with the victims and families.
The snake grew a second head and that's Syria. Destroy Syria with the FULL might of the US and UK's military.

They are showing Blair leaving and are saying where he is going. I hope that Blair's helicopter has the latest and greatest MANPAD countermeasures. The Moslems have these smuggled in to the UK for sure. Same as they likely do in the US since it's so easy to smuggle them across the border.
