Can I ask why there has been no retribution yet?..Its been 24 hours. More platitudes from our leaders. Very discouraging. Ifn I was in charge there would have been two tits for the tat already.

"Can I ask why there has been no retribution yet?"

One reason comes instantly to mind: Because I'm not in charge of the nukes!

Something that President Bush said during our dark, post 9/11 time. Wise words to the effect that we didn't chose this conflict; however, we'll respond at places and times of our own choosing.

I suspect that our British cousins will get info first, then move accordingly.

On a related note, someone opined on talk radio that there must be many people in London who know who the perps are. Ideally, there will be some arrests with the suspects "remanded to custody" as they put it.

A thorough and successful investigation is more important than revenge at this early stage, imo. Let the enemy sweat out just what reprisals might be coming their way.
