I wonder why they -- whomever "they" may be -- didn't attack all the people gathered together for the Olympic announcement yesterday? That would have been a lot easier, plus there would have been cameras there to record everyone being blown to smithereens.

[quote="Mr.Buttocks":73bee]Slightly o/t...
I've often read theories that George W.Bush wears an earpiece when he's doing press conferences*. About an hour ago I watched Tony Blair give a press briefing and I'll be damned if he wasn't being fed the lines he was saying; the way he paused whilst talking, the way his eyes moved etc, it was very strange.
* There's video evidence to back this up before anyone accuses me of bashing him for no reason.[/quote:73bee]
I belive tony blair was speaking off the top of his head or just plane nervous/schocked. Yet the speach was still better than Bush's. Bush's was painfull to listen to, all the ums and big long gaps not to mention he said nothing usefull.

these terrorists must be exterminated from the earth. How many more men, women and children do they have to blow up before the world understands we need to rid the earth of there assholes. It is an absolute cowardous act, cowards all of them.
I hope all is well in London and I hope there wasnt too much loss of life. The Brits are our strongest allie and Im sure the US will do whatever they need to help them in thier hour of need

Not sure how it would've been any easier, considering there was probably a very strong security presence there.
In any case, God Bless you brits. Hope they catch whoever is responsible quickly.

You can't just "elliminate" all of the terroists. Being a terroist isent told by a gene you have, it isent the colour of your skin or the clothes you wear. What makes you a terroists? what dosent? I belive the only way to rid the world of terrosits is to stop creating them. and you will have to wait for the current ones to die out. These people do not have a desiese, they just hate the developed world and their is no way anyone can ever change that. At least thats just my opinion. I think we should just be glad that not many people were seriously hurt. I think everyone belives alot more damage could have been done but thankfully it didn't .

Guess they caught us whilst we were busy sipping tea, like most of our great defeats...
My sister is somewhere in Chelsea, not far from the bombings, I've managed to get a text from her that she's ok but communication is quite a problem as most of the mobile networks have been closed down in order to try & hamper any communication between the terrorists. London is a complete gridlock at the moment. All the main train lines are down & the streets are full of traffic which will probably hinder any emergency vehicles. The Army is also on the streets & there's unconfirmed reports about a terrorist being shot. A few of my mates are in London but I haven't heard anything from them yet due to the communication problems. It looks like most of the people who work in London will be spending the night there because there's no way of getting in or out via the tube or railways & all the major roads are at a standstill.
It seems we have been quite fortunate as the casualty rate is reported to be 45 with 1000 injured. Though I am suspicious as the bombings have taken place in a fairly circular pattern around the northern half of the city. King's Cross must have been nuts, it's a major station. I've been there quite a few times but it's not my usual haunt. The Southern half of the city, where I usually go, appears to have come out unscathed. But I think this may have been due to some communication difficulties perhaps, it would have made more sense to have the bombings go in a circle around the entire city. Fortunately no-where like Victoria has been hit. Though had the circular pattern gone on to the South I'm certain that Canary Wharf & Victoria would have been in the picture, these places are a far busier than Kings Cross & also part of my usual route, damn lucky I wasn't there today... eek:
I hope the terrorists attacks are over now because I hear Victoria is pretty overcrowded & it would be a splendid opportunity to ruin afternoon tea. eek:
Thanks a lot for all the kind Comments from around the world. I hope MI6 track those bastards & hand them over to a bunch of drunken football hooligans.

Got a few friends communicating with me via internet & offices etc they say there's some stuff going on at Leicester Square but it's hard to know wtf is happening at the moment. I wager they are more confused in London than we are, the press are saying one thing then they hear the opposite from another source. rolleyes:

I suppose you are one of the "ones" that will say that the Brits brought this upon themselves, you can eliminate them (the terrorists) but the only way is with the help of the world. Too many countries hide these thugs, if we have to go whereever to take them out Im all for it. I will stand behind the Brits 100%, they truely helped us in our time of need and now its time to return the favor ( did you hear that France?)

I jus heard about this this morning, thats terrible. Although 33 casualties is alot (relative to what sites say), it could have been much worse.

there are likely more dead, some of the blown tubes havent been searched yet. still, it could have been much worse. Unfortunately, with london completely shut down, it would be easy to launch a bigger attack.
