Reply to: UK number 1 Al-Qaeda Target

[lukemg]

I can't bring myself to care about this. Yeah another bunch of fanatics trying to blow us up. Actual threat, considering the number of people in the country and the number of incidents (1 - but v.high profile) means this is virtually a non-existent threat to me. Every country has people trying to do this for one stupid reason or another. Security forces are all over it, yes they will miss the odd one, it's just not possible to stop them all.
Iraq war - absolute shambles and discrace, only going to get worse, should have stayed clear but not due to threat of bombings, due to it being totally unjustified and we can't afford it !!

If his could end lots of conflicts then why not? Remember - in the past kings who fought each other had their children married to have something in common to stop wars.

F8ck, you might be on to something AtW? Perhaps we should get Bins family and rape them!

Osama

Hey he may be on the wrong side at the moment but he reckon he is a whole lot smarter than Dubya.

Maybe if we offer him indeminity, a nice house, a few perks and a plum position he will come and help the west "fight terror" and who knows, it may work

[AtW]

Does this mean Osama will get a peerage in the Lords?

I'd much rather see 500 bln USD wasted on Iraq put into cancer, AIDS, space, new power source R&D and if the price of that to put Osama in Upper House then it sounds fine by me.

Of course this is not going to happen now because both sides did not want to compromise and now can't do so without losing face.

And with those two terrorists on the run its a really scary world these days, Im sure its all because of North Korea.

Better say our prayers ...

Tony'n'George pray for us

[Ardesco]

Are you saying there's no one trying to blow us up?

I'm sure there are a few government agencies knocking about ready to do that to further the "muslim hate" and provide valid reasons to curtail even more of our liberties....

[lilelvis2000]

I like the bit about 'success with the IRA'. Oh yeah we've squashed them alright. We've also given their 'political wing' seats in the NI assembly.

Somehow reading this tripe I thought to myself - Are they getting their intelligence from the Daily Mirror and Sun?

[gingerjedi]

No no no, our government will issue them oyster cards so they feel more integrated.

[Xenophon]

Then they will be shot of course.

Or strangled of course.

[Lucifer Box]

But what if they don't have an Oyster card?

Then they will be shot of course.

[premiere]

I completely agree.

Furthermore, all of this stuff about them being 'very well organised' annoys me too. Sadly it is not hard, once the materials have been obtained, to attach explosives to oneself and then go on public transport.

[Mailman]

The correct term the BBC should use is 'murdering scumbags'.

You cant go around saying that, you might hurt their feelings!

Off with your head until it rolls like

Why do they still insist on calling a bunch of thick kids who have been brainwashed by a bunch of thick old men 'Al-Quaeda'?

It's not some all encompassing organaization, it was a made up by Donald Rumsfeld to give the US a common enemy.
