I can't read this whole thread...but :) I can't understand how FOUR bombs did not work? Was this just because they didn't know how to put them together or what?
al Qaeda sent out their A-team two weeks ago. The amateurs that followed must have had a bad chemical mix in their explosives or they screwed up making the detonators. I want to see these bastards hang.
Many people have wondered about that. It is believed that the bombmaker in the first group has been snagged (in Pakistan, IIRC), so possibly these were simply wannabe's egged on by the local mullah. However, if they had at least the basic concept, they were perhaps a little closer than that - but obviously had not been trained. If it's true that one guy threw his backpack into the train and then tried to escape, I'd say they've dropped to second or third or fourth tier.
But even a low-level attack can still kill, and I think the British gov is being nonsensical in minimizing this. Have the Brits now decided that it's going to be okay to just terrorize them, make them lose under 3000 (obviously the new threshold) people every now and then, and then just buckle their bomb-proof vests closer?
My question: why do Western nations think this is an okay way to live?
Myabe they were all assembled by the same guy?

I haven't kept track of the whole thread either, but has anybody brought up the "missing explosives" from Iraq? Wasn't it Al-QaaQaa? I can't believe the DUmmies haven't been screaming about it.
