Terrorists won't win: London mayor

news.com.au ^ | 7th July 2005

Wonder if the fact that London won the bid for the Olympics has anything to do with the attack.

[GarySpFc]

The mayor's statement was one of the best speeches I have heard in years.

[wideawake]

Not a bad statement for an anti-Semitic communist.

[Wiz]

Was it Ken Livingstone that was once bashed for antisemitism?

[Wiz]

Nevermind, question answered.

Apparently these attacks were planned for some time and since it was just announced yesterday that London got the Olympics, I would tend to think it has more to do with the G8 meeting. And the fact that terrorists want to terrorize civilized people, especially countries supporting the war in Iraq. Curious these weren't suicide bombers. I guess you just run out of them after so long.

Coming from Red Ken, an avowed Marxist, these statements are in direct contrast to his belief that everyone should be a communist slave.

[Gay State Conservative]

It's my understanding that Mr Livingston has been known for
years in the UK as "Red Ken".If correct,this would mean that he agrees with what the filthy 7th Century thugs have
done....despite any claims that he might make to the contrary.

[Dog Gone]

I frankly expected him to react like the Spaniards. The Brits must be made of tougher stuff.

[veronica]

Red Ken now gets to see what the Israelis, whom he so despises, go through every day.

[oyez]

I would extend to the terrorists the sentiment that they will succeed in their efforts, that is succeed in dying.

The mayor's statement was one of the best speeches I have heard in years.

... but ... wasn't London major an anti-american Communist (representing the left of the Lab Party)? Certainly, his election was helped by the friends of those who have attacked London today! Pay attention on this.

[SunnySide]

Maybe but I seriously doubt it. The news already said it was Al Quieda related.

I find the timing interesting though. The French were helping Sadam way back when, the French didn't get the Olympic gig so their muslim buddies bomb London.

France is probably thinking, who needs enemies with friends like Al Queida muslims.

Bombings so far, USA, Spain now London. And there are still people out there that say muslim extremists are "peaceful"?

riiiiiiiiiight

[alessandrofiaschi]

Surely! He is a liar (=leftist).

[LibertyThug]

I'm looking for the text of his last statement, it was very good. Does anyone know where I can get it?

[usmcobra]

It was great.

[joshhiggins]

"Nothing you do, no matter how many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our cities where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another,"

This excerpt seems incoherent to me, particularly in the context of people getting blown up in these "Harmonious" cities.

[stopem]

Bombings so far, USA, Spain now London. And there are still people out there that say muslim extremists are "peaceful"?

Now now you wouldn't want to be accused of being an insensitive racist now would you (SARCASM of major proportions) don't even get me started.

[Tolik]

I don't think he can. For people like Red Ken, Israel deserves the wrath. Its London that is innocent. So no, no comparison. Even more, people like that truly believe, that they would not be a target if Israel did not exist and was not a "source" of the whole terror problem coming out from the MidEast.

I'll eat a crow if he truly changes his mind.
