CNN - reporter says Londoners weary after this incident - jeez
hmmmm .... excellent point.
The problem I have got is that the BBC are trying to portray us as liberal, care-for-all, symphathisers for these murderers.
My views are quite simple, being someone from the left of the political spectrum and being alone on this issue, the only thing that this government can do is to fight fire with fire. I think the response by the governement since 7/7 has been nothing short of pathetic, I'm not a fan of Sharon, but I think he has the right idea in attacking them head-on, (nothing controversial, there, unless you read the Grauniad)
I've gotten to know many quite well, the attitude supportsexcuses terrorim jihad.
Come on Vaca to NYC, Jersey City and Paterson NJ.
And then spout your assertion that Muslims aren't a problem.
Hey, look at it this way...you had the privilege of reading one of my many media rants.

LOL
thanks for our bonus rant of the day!
The Brits have the best counter terror troops...it is worrying that a cell is flying under the radar undetected.
Martha-the-conservative.

Very well said! Let the jihadist apologists try and refute the facts!
Your facts will not dissuade him.
Great research work, by the way!!!!

Actually you can go back at least as far as 1973 when U.S. Ambassador to Sudan Cleo A. Noel and other diplomats were assassinated at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum by members of the Black September organization.
Or, also in 1973, when five terrorists pulled weapons from their luggage in the terminal lounge at the Rome airport, killing two persons. They then attacked a Pan American 707 bound for Beirut and Tehran, destroying it with incendiary grenades and killing 29 persons, including 4 senior Moroccan officials and 14 American employees of the Arabian-American Oil Company (ARAMCO). They then herded 5 Italian hostages into a Lufthansa airliner and killed an Italian customs agent as he tried to escape, after which they forced the pilot to fly to Beirut. After Lebanese authorities refused to let the plane land, it landed in Athens, where the terrorists demanded the release of 2 Arab terrorists. In order to make Greek authorities comply with their demands, the terrorists killed a hostage and threw his body onto the tarmac. The plane then flew to Damascus, where it stopped for two hours to obtain fuel and food. It then flew to Kuwait, where the terrorists released their hostages in return for passage to an unknown destination.
Or in 1979 when four Afghans kidnapped U.S. Ambassador Adolph Dubs in Kabul and demanded the release of various "religious figures." Dubs was killed, along with four alleged terrorists, when Afghan police stormed the hotel room where he was being held.
I just sent you FReepmail, only to come back to see that you posted to me. Hope it's a good morning, sfi.
If these guys are like the last bunch, there isn't a whole lot the cops can do about it other than follow their standard anti-terrorist procedures, based on decades of practice. Past a point you just have to treat these guys like bad drivers, there is always a risk one will get you but life's too short to worry about it.
" hmmm .... seems that you are being cut a lot of slack here today. Any other time you'd be slammed as a troll, or whatever because of your argumentative style.
Oh well, welcome to the FR!!"
Cheers! I'd hope that my views on this matter aren't incompatible with my using the site. My political views are conservative not liberal - but I don't see this as a political issue.
thanks Grampa , a paid to agitate crapweasel , sounds about right , "hey artillerylane , give it a rest"
