Terrorist attacks in London

[SacTown Chronic]

So when do we invade England and their homegrown terrorists? You know, fight the terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here.

I am not expert; but it seems to me they are getting more and more desperate with less and less sophistication.

Who is getting more desperate?

Good question.....but I mean the terrorists themselves. I know this is serious stuff but this latest attempt seems to me a bit lame. Almost like those old superman shows when the bad guy runs out of bullets then throws the gun at Superman....just my take on it, I have no idea if there is anything to it or not.

Ah yes, "the terrorists". I guess these guys will be having their union cards revoked.

It's a wide-spread, decentralized "network" of local groups that have little to no actual ties to the original Al Quaida network. They are Al Quaida in name and ideology only.

It's rather unlike terrorist cells to repeat their tactics. So I fail to see how a single, poorly executed, rush job leads you to the conclusion that "the terrorists" are getting desparate. Especially with Iraq having just been through a series of the most deadly terrorist attacks of the whole war. It seems much more likely that this is some small, independent group of nutjobs trying to make a name for themselves by copying someone else.

So the attacks in Iraq are the works of terrorists?
