Crap

Four London Blasts Kill 40, Injure 300.
LONDON - Three blasts rocked the London subway and one tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday, sending bloodied victims fleeing after what a shaken Prime Minister
Tony Blair called "barbaric" terrorist attacks. A U.S. law enforcement official said at least 40 people were killed and London hospitals reported more than 300 wounded.

Blair said the "terrorist attacks" were clearly designed to coincide with the opening of the G-8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. They also came a day after London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics.

The explosions hit three subway stations and a double-decker bus in rapid succession between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. Implementing an emergency plan, authorities immediately shut down the subway and bus lines that log 8.4 million passenger trips every weekday. It brought the city's transportation system to a standstill and left many central London streets deserted.
Clearly this is a much more primitive attack compared to 9/11, but still one has to wonder if this was still "set-up" at some level, i.e. synthetic terror. Quite interestingly, while this attack is being linked to the G8 summit, is it a mere coincidence that Britain was announcing a major plan to withdraw troops from Iraq and transfer them to Afghanistan?

I think not.

In FACT, a possible troop withdrawal from Iraq was linked to the Madrid train bombings. Fortunately, the Spanish saw through the ruse and elected a prime-minister that would withdraw the troops.

It will be interesting to see if Blair follows through on the Iraq withdrawal.
