#2 a third man identified as "Mohammed," who is already in Paris

Boy howdy, that really narrows down the list of suspects. France's liberal Muslim immigration policies (i.e., Khomeni et al) is really paying off big time.

#3 OK I'll take Italy for 300 dead Alex, since France didn't support this adventure

#4 I don't seem to recall Turkey supporting the Iraq War either, yet they've been bombed several times over the last year. I also don't remember the Iraqi's lining up to get jobs to feed their children helping the Coalition either. Has this stopped them from being targeted and killed though?

#5 Charles - NMM is an idiot. Don't waste your breath.

#6 How long do you give it until they successfully attack the tube Bulldog?

#7 They've tried before, and it's not exactly a difficult target to attack. It's prtobably just a matter of time before one cell manages to.

I wonder what effect a large scale terrorist strike would have on London, whether it's on the tube or elsewhere in London or the UK? Would we see much enhanced security down there? The closure of some of the 'redundant' stations, even very busy ones? A change in the layout of station entrances (above ground 'check in' areas)? It's such an easy place to kill a large number of people, and yet so vital to London's functioning, it must be a nightmare to event think about securing. I suppose the only thing in the tube's favour is it's not exactly the best target for an al Qaeda 'spectacular' - the carnage and immediate aftermath would be hidden from view.

#8 The police are putting in more of an appearance in recent times which makes me wonder.. have a look at the workman at King's Cross - I am reliably informed there's always one in a blue boiler suit sat down carefully checking out the booking hall(!) Same at Charing Cross from what I've experienced - stopping and searching, dogs etc.. Can't carry my stash to work anymore!

#9 the carnage and immediate aftermath would be hidden from view

Bulldog - I'm not so sure it would be hidden from view. The rabid British press would find a way to get cameras down there. The Sun and the like to get people pissed off, the BBC to blame Blair and Bush. The pictures would get out, and rather quickly I suspect.

#12 Hmm. It's interesting to note that the subway system in Washington DC is also called the Metro.

#13 it just pisses me off that we have to modify our entire civilized way of life to accomodate these islamic asswipes. We've had to place cops and suveillance everywhere, we have to go through damn near a full body cavity search just to get on a friggin airplane, and what used to be celebrations like the olympics or July 4th become exercises in meticulous security planning. I mean, if these pissants from the ROP would have done SOMETHING --ANYTHING-- valuable over the last 1000 years - in medicine, culture, science, art, et - I would decide to take the good with the bad. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO GOOD WHATSOEVER!

So I say fukem.

(sorry... it just started especially getting to me today. dunno why)

#14 PlanetDan,
May I suggest one single change in a letter in your comment? From "fukem" to "nukem". Just a helpful hint.
