More controlled explosions...

[ayoub]

There have been more controlled explosions at a hospital, I've just heard on the news.

While this is terrifying, it's great that the police are catching up to these fuckers...

It seems as if the plotters were Doctors...

This is beyond ridiculous.

I think that theory (Gordon Brown) is more spot on than the Rushdie thing.  Rushdie becoming a knight isn't going to have any political clout and certainly won't be a factor in tipping the scales one way or the other.

Word is Britain is now reconsidering its pullout of Iraq, which was supposed to complete by December of this year, if I'm not mistaken.  They don't want to give the impression that they're pulling out in response to these attacks, very much like Spain did back in March of 2004 in response to the Madrid train bombings.

Eh, either way, I have to admire Britain's diligence and swiftness in finding these people and the devices.  Good thing Glasgow airport had those security barriers in place as well so that vehicle couldn't get all the way in.  That's something security agencies around the world have been advising the US airports to do, but so far, it seems slow going.

Yeah, those barriers are a good thing!

I think ultimately we'll pull out of Iraq, but yeah, it's going to be delayed for a bit now...

Yeah, that's the word going around the news outfits here.  They'll still pull out, but will delay just long enough to make it understood that Great Britain is pulling out on its own terms on not on the terms of terrorists.  Smart move, although I'm sure it has to be rough on the families of those serving.

Yeah... I just hope they all come back safely...
