"They are all dead."
Actually I saw on a thread that the Brit’s did honor their own dead from the terrorist of 7/11 but NBC did not cover the tribute.
Glad to be spending my vacation money in Italy at this very moment!!!
Bravissima, Italia
Bravo Italy!!!
(Why didn’t the USA join them???)
What a manic-depressive Olympics that was
From Spitz/Wottle/Shorter to
USA Basketball to
The Munich Massacre
Who will ever forget ABC’s Jim McKay, that bloodshot and depressed look, telling us “They’re all gone”
’ Terrorism pays. Bomb something and the world respects you.’
Oh, the irony.
We could have done so in 1984 or 1996, and apparently did not.
I remember watching that Olympics. It was really, really wild, having sporting events and terrorists with hostages at the same time. Then, when the Israelis were ALL KILLED, I specifically remember the sportscaster, Jim McKay, come on and say, “They’re gone. They’re all gone.” For a split second, I didn’t know what he meant.
Bob Costas spoke of the Israelis: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jul/28/bob-costas-isreali-athlete-controversy
Operation Bayonet/Wrath of God.

The decision not to reflect was an IOC decision, not a British decision.
Kindly take your anti-british bile and shove it.
Note: Sicilians do not export their best wines, which are cheap and oh my.... oh so.... o sole mio wonderful.
If your Government had any balls they’d tell the IOC to take their stupid, politically correct road show somewhere else.

The decision is an IOC one, not a British one.
Find another scapegoat.

The IOC is like the UN, a bunch of Anti-Isreali, Anti-American morons trying to get us interested in table tennis and team handball. When the National Table Tennis League or the National Handball Association gets on ESPN, then Iwill watch it.
My comment was directed at the IOC and the “International Community” in general, not the UK, except to the extent that they at times mirror said “Community,” in looking the other way, knuckling to implicit threats, and otherwise following Burke’s formula for assuring the triumph of wickedness, which in this case the UK did not do much more than anyone else. Find another bone of contention. I am not an Anglophobe. But I am becoming an Italophile.
