CALL THAT SUPPORT? YANKS FOR NOTHING (Bash America alert)

"Might it have something to do with the fact that were he captured, your mythical War on Terror would begin to be over, as would the trillion-dollar budgets handed to the men who really run your country and our world. The US military. The ones too frightened to step inside the M25 for nearly a week. But heck, guys, maybe I'm just a cynical Brit. "

OOH, that's a good one .. we let Bin Laden be free so we can continue this war on terror that we enjoy so much... LOL.

Question: If bin laden were in custody, do you think it would have stopped the London bombings?

Best to remember that this is the Guardian- a paper that has even LESS credibility than the NYT and THAT is saying something.
I do not believe that this paper speaks for the majority over there.
But just to address a point or two...
My guess is that the military over there has been told not to travel IN UNIFORM (something not mentioned in the article). They were so ordered after 9-11 here as well, and they are discouraged from traveling in uniform in Germany all the time.
I have NEVER heard London referred to "Londonstan" until reading this article. I wonder how long the writer took to think this one up?
I, like probably a million others, sent a letter expressing sorrow and empathy for their losses. We know what it's like to have a bunch of sub-human savages attack for no reason.
The writer claims that UBL is hiding in a cave in a "friendly nation"? By all means, let's give HIM a few bucks and HE can go get him, if he knows so much.
Just don't forget folks- THIS is the Brits' version of MoveOn.org...
As to the comet- I have one question for this twit...Don't you wish YOU had the technology? and doesn't it just kill you to have to depend on US to drag you into the 21st century...?

When we catch Usama, Brian will complain that we're mistreating him.
When we hang him, he will complain the rope was too bristle-like.
Our treatment of his body will be an affront to Islam . . .
and so forth and so on.

One day, President Bush stepped out of his boat and walked across the surface of the lake to fetch some bait for his party. Headline in the Mirror? (see tagline)

"This is not a war on terror, terror is an emotion. It's a war on radical islam."

Right. It's been said that to strike back at the innocent among the muslims 'helps the terrorist win'. This is nonsense. I am NOT advocating wanton discrimination or retaliation and think it is harmful, but frankly the terrorists don't 'win' if that happens and mosques get torched - they don't give a toss one way or the other.

The terrorists win when the west is afraid, due to terrorism, to dare criticize nor stop the hate-mongering of the Jihadists, so they can 'breed' their ideas with impunity amongst the alienated youths of the muslim (and western) world ... we are partway down that slippery slope already.

One of our key weapons in the fight is to completely isolate the radical islamic element ideologically.

oops..sorry- Daily mirror...not a whole lot of difference between this and the Guardian. This is the one with the half-naked pics on page 8, right? I guess they have to have something to get people to buy it.
