Blast went off on upper portion of bus, but only blasted out windows. This per fox news & the bus company.

This is an AQ attempt to truely "terrorize" London by crippling the most used transportation system. If the mooselimbs can cause the Brits to not trust the Tube and the buses, so much that it affects jobs and businesses, the the AQ can use it as an example to the other Euroweenies. The last attempt as somewhat successful. This one is a comedy of errors. I am going to watch this one closely to see what the "bombers" are convinced to say.

The only security improvement is that the Chemist is in jail in Egypt, leaving the second stringers in charge.

Way too early for conclusions today.

What I'm getting so far on this is spotty. From what I see, it doesn't look very Al-Qaeda-like. Are you getting that impression?

I head to London in less than a month.

I was hoping to get away from bombs and terrorism. (Sigh...)

I was watching FoxNews and typing in what was on the bottom of the screen.

That's what they are saying now on NBC - panick only.

BBC Radio is reporting that only detonators exploded, no bombs.

The man looked extremely dismayed, alarmed and made some exclamation,

Anyone want to bet on what language was used?????

Stage Coach representative saying the explosion was on the top floor of the bus. Sounds familiar.

No way. They had good detonators and good co ordination and thats not a spur of the moment thing.

The chemist from the last batch is under arrest and this crew, and these detonators are what was left over from the first bunch.

Since the explosives were already all used up, they improvised in a somewhat amatuer fashion, using the detonators that they already had and perhaps wrapped in nails and such.

Explosives are not chem 101, and you don't get any chances to muck up.

Maybe there's a silent majority who'd cheer Bush...there is no maybe about it IMO...the cheer would be so loud that they could hear it in bfe.

Some of the talk show guys say that waging a "war" on a "religion" is crazy....Tony Snow and Hugh Hewett have both said this in the last week. They said this in response to the remarks by Tancredo concerning nuking Mecca and Medina. It would cause a billion crazed muslums to come over the borders with knives and pitchforks and kill us all. Maybe they are right, but I don't suscribe to the "better red then dead" theory. I will not live in any 6th century dirt.

Lets see...if there are 1.3 billion muslums and .3 billion of us...this means that each one of us has to kill 4.3 muslums. I think that I could do mine and about 10 other peoples.

"Fox News reporter in London says the Brits are not treating this as a major incident at this time."

ahh, so the networks here and in europe can "move on" and make the sheeple forget about it.......

Perhaps, as suggested before, the explosion was not meant to kill people - immediately, but carried something more frightening. Biological? Something that in the coming days will prove deadly?

One possibility, which cannot be discounted yet...

It is also possible that the intended explosives were made at the same time (same batch) by the terrorists and they screwed the pooch on the mixing job. If so, they should be good information sources, provided they can be apprehended.

Someone might have sold them bad or bogus explosives, too, with just enough to smell right, but not much bang for the buck.

Regardless, they have disrupted the transit system, even if they have not been generally effective in the murder part of their murder and mayhem campaign.

Observation:

1. 2 weeks exactly

2. 8:40 NY Time

I'd say the 8:40 +- time was used to get the USA immediate reaction. Most of us were sleeping when the last attacks occurred. It's also the approximate time of the first tower hit on 9-11.

Just curious, what's the difference between a regular cop and a specialist?

Advanced firearms training and counter terrorism training
