7/7 London


To Audiogon members residing in Britain, particularly in London, my thoughts are with you in the aftermath of yesterday's despicable, horrific events. We must all stand firm in our resolve against the actions of a small group of fanatics intent on causing us fear and harm.

Don't forget that Clinton also believed that Saddam had WMD-and said so- because the same guys who told Bush Iraq had WMD previously convinced Clinton as well.

Bush and Cheney made all that info up to launch the Iraq war? Well, maybe in some Oliver Stone movie.

Illegal invasion? Every invasion is "illegal". We did'nt stop and fill out an application before rolling into Germany 60 years ago. Come to think of it, they did'nt check with the Poles in '39 either- but I digress.

Great technology only does so much. Finding Bin Laden won't come down to satellite photos- it'll come down to human intelligence or dumb luck. And we have killed or captured some guys DIRECTLY responsible for 9/11- remember KSM? It was his plot!

We've murdered thousand of innocent civilians in Iraq? I would not agree without eveidence that the number is thousands of innocent civilians. But war does suck- remember the British fire bombing Dresden? The US incediary raids on Tokyo? THEN we killed HUNDREDS of Thousands of innocent civilians. War is always terrible.

As far as looking at both sides of the story and understanding facts, read what I said above. Those are the reasons Bin Laden attacked the US- all facts.

Was Iraq involved in 9/11? I don't think so by any means.
Never said so either. But since we're in Iraq- and they're coming to fight, why not, to paraphase the Koran,"kill the enemy where you find him"?

You may not call that the "war on terror", but it's the only way we will win this war.
My thoughts and prayers go out to our good friends in London. Looking at the faces in the photos was sad and difficult. I'm sure that I and my coworkers had the same look when we exited the Pentagon after the plane ripped into our bay. Londoners and esp those closest to the bombings will have many tough days ahead, but I found that a trust in God, and supportive and caring Family and friends made each day better. There will be days ahead to deal with the dirtbags but today we are all Londoners...hurting but resolute.
Thus far no one has bought up the aforementioned elections except the people who post in favor of bush.

I was rather questioning what he's done since in office, which is clearly not beneficial to anyone right now.

I notice a lot of bush supporters constantly try to turn the argument away from the nightmare that we've made in Iraq, and act like we're still arguing about elections that have been over some time ago. Criticize Bushes record on the environment and you get the same thing: stop whining about the election. Where's Osama: election. What are we doing to help israel: election.

People can yammer on all they want about GW inheriting certain international difficulties from Clinton (and more accurately his father's) tenure, but what he's doing now paves the way for terrorism for the many presidents after him..
Cowardly acts in London,done by people that are absolute excuses for human beings.Pathetic.
