Likemclever and nowhereman:

I'm aware it's a little extreme to blame the US for these attacks. I could have worded my frustration better.

The fact is, these attacks are a retaliation to the Iraq invasion in which we tagged along. It is also a fact that the majority of the British people opposed the war and would rather have had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, the fact is that refusing to help the US with it's own dirty work would have resulted in our (quote) "special relationship" (note the use of the word "special" as opposed to "close") with you taking a very nasty turn. The Iraq war is based solely on Bush's manipulation of America's obsessional patriotism. "If your not with us, your with the terrorists", thanks for giving us a real fucking choice there. As if we had any gripe with the extremists in the first place.

So yep, 4 years (?) on and we finally have a genuine reason to be in Iraq and help you guys. Congratulations. Just so you know nothing's gonna change.

Again, excuse my anger and frustration. Obviously it's a terrorist attack from terrorists, but it could've been avoided. I'm not hating on Americans, just your ridiculous, circus of a government and their manipulation of your pride.

A group calling itself "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe" posted a claim of responsibility for Thursday's blasts in London, saying they were in retaliation for Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.


The authenticity of the message could not be immediately confirmed.

The statement, which also threatened attacks in Italy and Denmark, was published on a Web site popular with Islamic militants, according to Elaph, a secular Arabic-language news Web site, and Der Spiegel magazine in Berlin, which published the text on their Web sites.

"Rejoice, Islamic nation. Rejoice, Arab world. The time has come for vengeance against the Zionist crusader government of Britain in response to the massacres Britain committed in Iraq and Afghanistan," said the statement, translated by The Associated Press in Cairo. The AP was unable to access the Web site where it was posted, which was closed quickly after the reports.

The group al-Qaida in Europe claimed responsibility for the last major terror attack in Europe: a string of bombs that hit commuter trains in Madrid, Spain in March 2004, killing 191 people. Two days after that attack, a video was found in a trash can outside a Madrid mosque with a statement purported to be from the group's spokesman, called by the nickname "Abu Dujan al Afghani."

In the new statement, the group said "the heroic mujahedeen carried out a blessed attack in London, and now Britain is burning with fear and terror, from north to south, east to west."

Four London Blasts Kill 40, Injure 300
AP - 19 minutes ago
LONDON - Three explosions rocked the London subway and one tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday. The blasts killed at least 40, according to a U.S. law enforcement official, and injured more than 300 in what a shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair called a series of "barbaric" terrorist attacks. The U.S. official spoke on condition of anonymity because British officials have yet to make public the death toll. U.S. authorities learned of the number from their British counterparts, according to the official.

the turks are cool man chill.there are terrorist everywhere.this isnt some fad that started after 9/11.america was attacked 5 times in the 90's and did nothing and we got 9/11.

its like people think the terrorists would just stop and live happy lives if america didnt exist??they wouldnt,they will attack anyone who isnt islamic fundamentalists.

Howdy BB,

I'm all for peace too..all we have to do,is fight for it..apparently,something which you'll always depend on others to do for you..the question is,on whose terms do you want peace ? The Free World..or the terrorists ? If you go to the nearest mosque,and announce your surrender and convert to Islam,maybe you will be spared from the muslim horde. Maybe you should denounce your British citizenship,and become a French citizen..they are very well versed in how to surrender to the enemies of Freedom..and you'd be more comfortable there.

Have a good one...

[amsterdam]

if 9/11 hadnt happened,no afghanistan,no iraq war,this still would be going on.this isnt something new.america endured attack after attack in the 90's and did nothing and we got 9/11.
