The only thing we have going for us is that they all do resemble each other.
He sure "looks Muslim", doesn't he?

There has been an explosion at Aldgate East underground station in London, causing the closure of the entire Tube network.
There are also reports that a second incident took place at Edgware Road station in north west London.
The Aldgate East blast was caused by "some kind of power surge", according to Tube infrastructure company Metronet, which is responsible for maintaining the Metropolitan line.
A spokesman said: "We don't know the extent of the problem yet."
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene."
British Transport Police confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk".
"It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman.
"All we know at the moment is that staff reported a loud bang at 8.49am. No one is sure what caused an explosion, but it is thought it could have been a collision, a power cut, or a power cable problem."
One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from Kings Cross when there was a huge flash.
The train stopped and people were using umberellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.
He added people were milling around Kings Cross covered in soot.
Thank God. You're the first one I looked for.
Watching the tv and praying for you all.

I knew that would be their response. They just don't get it.
The Demo Rats are allies of the terrorists. They have constantly sought to undermine President Bush in the war on terror. When are voters going to get rid of Pelosi, Kennedy, Nelson (FL), Schumer, Levin, Clinton, Leahy, Kerry, Boxer, Feinstein and all the other treacherous, base, low, corrupt, members of the Jackass Party?
Give it a rest. The people who lived throuh WWII had to give up a lot more than that. But it ended. We no longer are rationing meat. We no longer are locking up Japanese in camps. That all ended when the war was over Get over it and understand that we are at war.
Yes, but where are the massed armies of Islamic terrorists to be found?
Speaking of trashing Constitutional rights, remember that the Second World War led to the detention of over 100,000 innocent American civilians of Japanese descent. We, indeed, knew how to win WWII, but we made our share of mistakes in the process.
Missed that. Watched the first half-hour but having been watching mainly FNC since.
do you think the Brits will care as much if we "abuse" the animals at Gitmo now..I bet today we may have to throw water ballons at the Koran again..and actually have a female soilder touch one.....
We just rounded up every citizen of Japanese origin west of the Rockies, rationed just about every commodity, and put a hugh muzzle on the press.
Thanks for the added information. This somehow doesn't surprise me.
Thank you for the pictures..
Prayers for the injured and those who mourn.
That's not true, either.
And the contract couldn't be clearer between the intentions
and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty, and those who kill -- those who have got such evil in their heart
that they will take the lives of innocent folks.

Such eloquent words! I hope the networks keep playing President Bush saying them all day long.
I'm certain over this as I'm sure you are. It's an argument stopper. The MSM and Democrats will need to explain themselves to everyone's satisfaction before they should be allowed to comment on the London bombing today.
Time to do away with the P.C. bullsh*t and institute rigid and uncompromising racial profiling.

Hear Hear!! Agreed!
We must also agree to allow a few of our "precious freedoms" to be somewhat compromised (like not letting our EMail be read by the government officials who are trying to protect us) and to get some others enhanced (for example by relaxing concealed carry laws)
Yes, DU, let's use your "Let's fight them nowhere" approach.
Better make that "when" the towel heads do such a thing.
Good idea.
The only thing we have going for us is that they all do resemble each other.

There is a marked difference between good and evil and evil will NEVER be tolerated.
