We Stand With You!
I just woke up and heard that there have been several bombings in London. More details will follow, but first I want to pass along my thoughts and prayers to the people of England and to those that have family members that have been killed.
- ABC is reporting that at least 150 casualties at four locations
- NBC has a map with 7 locations highlighted
- The United Stated State Department has a hot line for Americans that have family members that can’t be contacted. 8884074747
- Tony Blair is leaving the G8 summit and on his way to London
- The London attacks have hit three underground subway lines, New York has beefed up subway security
- Tony Blair has made a speech, I’ll try to post audio ASAP, all of the G8 members were with Blair.
- Officially, there are two dead and “many” wounded, some report that “casualties are high,” especially in the underground attacks.
- Pope Benedict XVI has condemned this as a Barbaric Attack.
Audio of London’s Mayor Ken Livingston, speaking from the Olympic meetings.- The BBC has live coverage, audio ad video, but as expected, their servers are swamped so streaming media may be hard to get on-line.
- Tony Blair’s comments with all G8 leaders standing behind him. (1:38)
- Audio of President Bush as he came out to speak to reporters.(:36)
- BBC now says 10 dead, 150 wounded, but one hospital reported almost 200 injured at their facility.
- FOX news reports 45 dead and expected to climb
- Olympic Committee expresses full confidence that the 2012 Olympic games will go off as planned.
- This is why we interrogate prisoners in places like Guantanamo Bay.
–Charlie Sykes - BBC has released this statement made by a radical Muslim group, “Secret Organisation Group of Al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation.”
“In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and undaunted fighter, Prophet Muhammad, God’s peace be upon him.
Nation of Islam and Arab nation: Rejoice for it is time to take revenge against the British Zionist Crusader government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic mujahideen have carried out a blessed raid in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.
We have repeatedly warned the British Government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid.
We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused.
God says: “You who believe: If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly.”
- News Conference from London coming, audio to follow. News Briefing only discusses the 4 subway blasts. Reports are that there are 7 explosions total., there are about 35 confirmed dead in these subway blasts, no word on numbers from other attacks. There was not a lot of information but here is the audio.
Briefing from London Police (6:16) - The attack on New York on September 11, 2001 happened at 8:51 Eastern time, this attack happened at almost the same time.
- LaShawn Barbor has some good links from British bloggers and news sources.
- U.S. Terror Alert raised to Code Orange.
- Instapundit has a lot of great links and comments too.
- WizBang has lot’s of good info as well.
- Death toll now stands at 50, with 700 wounded. This is a terrible tragedy for those affected, but as far as terrorist attacks go, they have not demoralized the British people, they lived through the Blitz and years of IRA bombings! This will only harden opinion towards the terrorists.
- ABC News is reporting that London Police have found two bombs that did not explode.
- Former Mayor of New York Rudolph Giuliani was in London and heard the first bomb go off. Can you imagine his thoughts?
- UNCONFIRMED: Northeast Intelligence Network: One UK Homicide Bomber Was Recent GITMO Release
- Here is a list of past terrorist attacks England.

Unfortunately, as we watched the twin towers fall again and again on our screens I reached the horrible conclusion that Bush, or whoever is actually controlling this empty headed cowboy, had either knowingly allowed terrorists to carry out their dreams or had deliberately organized or encouraged this madness.
In my mind and the mind of Ken Livingston (Mayor of London), the senseless bombing of London is an act of deliberate mass murder.
This is mass murder that I believe was carefully organized by agents, paid assassins or even military personnel who are in the pay of what I call the Bush-Blair project.
It no longer maters to me if Blair is aware of the insane plans and intentions of the current American administration. What is certain is that in the so called west, we have lost sight of democracy.
The Bush-Blair project must be stopped because they are guilty of mass murder. We will not forget that they sent troops to murder the people of Iraq. There were no weapons of mass destruction.

What’s that howling we hear? Oh, it’s a Barking Moonbat howling at the moon
Zorg, do you honestly believe that crap or are you crazy enough to actually believe it?
The fact is, Clinton and the UN are more to blame than Bush, it is because of their inept inaction that allowed terrorism to spread.
