I concur.

"Inept terrorist" however seems to be an oxymoron. Would a better term be a "really annoying stupid person who is incapible of causing terror?"

There is nothing to laugh about when you are actually able to blow up yourself in a public place a few days after a major terrorist attack

Next time why don't you have some more happyness experiments like "phew! they bombed Berlin, good that we are not germans! lol lol lol "

saying they have a reason, doesnt mean that this reason is by definition right. it just links the cause with the result and even that it's shaky and not absolut. thinking that you're all worthless, is also far from the truth.

I'm referring to your previous comments in the other thread which earned you a vacation. The thing is, it's the people who have been targetted and the thing is, the war was done despite the disapproval of the population...they should go for the politicians instead of being such cowards...

Okay, got an idea that will also boost the economy. No more satchels, tote bages, backpacks, overcoats, etc. on any form of transport. Not allowed.

Then we'll see the creation of niche businesses that pick-up and deliver your items. Taxes on this type of business will go to the "Save a Deranged Extremist Fund (SDEF)." This will also create jobs.

Sorry, just something that rolled through my mind.

Be careful with that kind of stuff - you risk that it will leave through one of your ears, and the void this would leave might result in your skull imploding.

I don't really care what their excuse is.
It was called cowardly in this thread, and that's hitting the nail on the head.
Nothing they use as a reason is valid.

For my part, I would think the people of Afghanistan, for instance, would find it very beneficial to hunt down these wimps, and use their dead remains to fertilize their poppy fields.

I haven't yet heard of any casualties - good.

I feel strongly that majority of people just don't see the big picture at all, but seem to forget or live in 5 minute periods. Why did this happen, why is it happening. THere are many OPINIONS. But.. I would NOT trust what terrorists say right now. They're playing a game too.

Terrorists say, well we did this because UK is involved in Iraq. Let's make it clear, who in here believes, that if coalition never went to Iraq, AQ would be now inactive, and not have prepared a strike? Was US in Iraq when 9/11 happened? No. US was in whole bunch of places even then, true, but to claim UK somehow was asking this, being involved in Iraq is BS. Not even mentioning it's terrorist apologizing BS. Let's not forget that many in Europe were crying that US was asking for it, it was wrong, but it was asking for it and even though we condemn killing of civilians, we understand why it happened. Now that is some sick **** right there and you have to be sucking on Osamas meaty lollipop to actually think like that.

To claim you know what some mastermind terrorist thinks is not necessarily the truth. I believe, that these current terrorists are pissed off about many things. And not about Iraq. They could give a crap about their fellow muslims in Iraq if you ask my opinion. They wanted the war. They knew that by striking in the US in large scale, there would be a war in ME. Like most of us would figure too.

I believe the goal of them is to set up big conflict between the west and the east, since the west is IT now, but by dragging it into forever lasting war, well, even though the east gets its ass handed to them, it's still acceptable result. So I think every single strike goes down to this category and subcategories of it. Why do they want war and destruction, well, they hate the west, period. For what has happened in the past by christians doing their thing in there etc. Basically they want the power, they want our destruction for lots of reasons. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS NOW or happened few years ago or prior to that, say 50 years.

Also because the west IS more pro-israel than not. That's a factor too. But it's not that they have special hatred for Americans, they have special hatred for all of west. Yes my fellow finns, they prolly want your ass too, even when you deny it (ohh evil americans, oil, carlyle group!½+). Cry that when your ass is grass.

OK so how could have it been avoided? I don't think it was possible. It's to either accept frequent terrorist attacks and try to not mind. Or have them and fight back in some way, and this is the key to the master plan IMO, when west goes down, it's not because the east or south or what ever direction is so dominant. It's because west destroys itself and it starts from internal conflicts in interests etc.

Because we live in free socities, there will be debate, there will be flaming. And that can lead to weakning of relations, and that's playing to their goal. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain, we have nothing to gain but everything to lose. The key point is that we must remain free society, keep debating and have different opinions and express them, but realize it is the whole topping of the cake of the whole freedom thing, and we must embrace it, and not turn on each other no matter what. Anyone who starts turning against someone is a terrorist cream dream, no matter what the circumtances are and justifications for turning on someone. That's it. I have spoken.

Hoorah and more decent kills for our side!

I wouldn't be surprised to see these "bombings" related to 7/7, just that something went wrong this time, which was replicated among all four new bombers.

Hopefully, this will provide very valuable intelligence.

The Iraqi terrorists have been known to deliberately attack foreigners from nations with nothing more than humanitarian missions in Iraq. They don't seem to make the distinacition between the two, they're all invaders to them If the terrorists operating in Europe share the same viewpoint then Germany or even Greece could become a target.

OTOH I'm willing to bet that this latest crew is homegrown in Britain just like the last crew, so if their are anymore of them around they're likely to continue attacking Britan.
