What surprised me was the police made 24 arrests all over London and the SE and yet there were no reports of gunfights or massive struggles and yet these were supposedly desperate men about to commit mass murder, you'd have thought they would have put up a fight! It doesn't seem right, something strange about it to me, it went too smooth.

You don't think they got the wrong people do you? Smiley

lol.

Thank goodness this one was thwarted (lucky?), but there will always be a next time...

But was it...i think they actually achieved exactly what they wanted,to create chaos and cause millions in lost revenue.??

I cant see this bomb in a bottle thing being a mass attack....im sure if they wanted they could stage something much more dramatic.

One things for sure,until we cut all ties with the US we are and will continue to be targeted the same way the US are. Undecided

Don't tar every police officer with the same brush - the rules are so different now - rightly so.

Whether they have got the right people or not ,think of the poor sods making the arrests not knowing if they would be blown 2 pieces.

I'm biased I know

Very interesting - just read a book called Friendly Fire - all about how the americans got europe to go to war with a false promise of there help - they basically nearly made us bankrupt sold us lots of crap equipement and lost us our empire. they came out from a depression to a world leader!!!!!!!
Did you know that on the 31st of December this year we pay the last war debt payment!!!!!!!!!
we did have a few payment holidays - the last one being 2002 - just after that I ended up in the Gulf - must have been one of the concessions!!!!!!
Russia had alot more than us during the war from the states but only paid a fraction back

anyway a very good read, one that makes you think how the hell did they get away with that -well anyone who got in the way was bumped off, we went to war to free Poland - then gave it away to one of the countries who invaded it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its interesting for me as I used to have an interest in history.

The USA today has an economy which is on the verge of going pop and have its currency devalued due to the huge national debts. It continues to seek and secure the one thing needed to maintain its economy....oil.

In history this has happened on more than one occasion, the most recent being Hitlers Germany where all things were good with full employment thanks to an inflation driven economy and the growing war machine.....we all know how that finished.

The USA is now in my opinion carrying out a similar response be it on a more publicly acceptable scale (media and communciatiosn is much better these days)........but for how long can it go on. People will always rebel against this type of action in what ever manner they feel is most effective, unfortunately it tends to be violence.

I must admit we have had a close escape....this time but, there will be more.

Now if they targeted Blair and Prescott rather than Joe Public......(how could youmiss Prescott, simply pop a hand grenade in a pie and place it within 500m of him....)

the whole thing was just to take the middle east off the headlines for a few days coming up to the ceasefire to allow israel to blow the s*** out of lebanon and increase its presence there even though there was supposed to be a ceasefire on the cards. or do you think that within hours of the cease fire being declared the terror threat being downgraded was just a coincidence? all these terror threats serve to do is to make joe public think that we need to have vast armys on forreign soil pillaging and destroying other peoples infastructures, war solves nothing conflict can only ever be resolved by talking, the last month in the middle east has just served as the biggest recruitment drive for hesbollah the truely sickening thing about all this is weve been here before done all this before and still nobody learns

Yep, I do believe it was real.

Also, that raided house a few weeks ago, didn't they arrest one of the brothers a few days ago?

Although some may, rightly or wrongly, consider Blair to be one of Bush's puppets, its worth remembering that they do not run the country, they are purely frontmen....

Yes, you're quite right, they did arrest one of the brothers. The arrest was nothing to do with terrorism.
The police allegedly found child pornography on a computer that was taken away from the house.

Yes!
What bad news did the government release whilst all this was going on?
What about the fact that British soldiers in Afghanistan, are now engaged in the biggest battle since world war 2? Announced Friday apparently.
I bet that would have made page one without the security scare.
Perhaps they just wanted to take our attention away from what was happening in the middle east?
The boss of Ryan air pointed out that none of this extra security was applied to the euro-tunnel or the London underground.
They are both more open to terrorist attack than the airlines.
