Fox News' Brian Kilmeade: London terror attack near G8 summit "works to ... Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together"

The following exchange between Fox News host Brian Kilmeade and Fox News business contributor and substitute host Stuart Varney occurred during breaking news coverage of the attacks on London subways and buses on the July 7 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

KILMEADE: And he [British Prime Minister Tony Blair] made the statement, clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1 --believe it or not-- was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it's important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.

VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.

KILMEADE: Yeah.

What did he say between the ...'s? I guarentee this quote is taken out of context. He probably said something like "London terror attack near G8 summit "works to (unify the resolve of the G8 nations, and this works in the) Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together"

Democratic heavyweights issue statements on attacks backing Bush
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Democratic_senators_issue_statements__0707.html
The following statements were issued to RAW STORY by Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) in response to the London attacks.

"I extend my heartfelt condolences to the people of Great Britain, and especially to those in London who endured these depraved acts of terrorism today," Reid said. "These attacks were cruel and senseless acts, committed by cowards who see nothing wrong with targeting innocent civilians.

?I am confident that all Americans are committed to ensuring that this nation does everything it can to help bring justice to those responsible," Reid continued. "We also stand in complete solidarity with Prime Minister Blair and President Bush, and all the leaders of the G-8 Summit, who pledged their commitment and resolve to fight and defeat this kind of extremism and hatred wherever it exists in the world.?

#

The following was issued by House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA):

"I extend my condolences to the victims and their families of the horrific and senseless terrorist attacks in London. The thoughts and prayers of all Americans are with the people of Great Britain.

"The actions of cowards against innocent people will not prevail; our resolve to fight terrorism around the world will not be deterred. We join President Bush, Prime Minister Blair, and all the leaders of the G-8 Summit in fighting terrorism.
#

The following statement was issued today by Senator John Kerry in response to the terrorist bombing in London:

"Every American heart feels for the British people and the families of those killed and injured in today's horrific terrorist bombings in London. As a country which has also experienced tragedy at the hands of cowardly killers and which keeps faith with the special alliance Prime Minister Tony Blair reaffirmed on September 11th, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

"In addition to words of condolence and condemnation, America should offer every assistance to Great Britain in dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy and in hunting down and destroying those responsible. We must reaffirm that cold blooded killers will not for a moment stop the critical work of the G-8 nations in showing the world the strength of our shared values and our commitment to ending poverty around the globe. The terrorists should hear from all of us today: the future belongs not to fear, but to freedom. We must also be vigilant here at home to take every step needed to complete the unfinished work of homeland security, strengthening our port security, rail security, protecting chemical plants, and securing loose nuclear materials abroad. While these attacks remind us that the fight is far from over, they also strengthen our resolve to stand together for the right of free people to live in a peaceful world."

They would if we attacked terror on the down low like we should. Like CIA front companies in various countries doing nightly raids of real live and thoughly inflitrated terrorists. But instead they see stories like this one:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4653481.stm

And thousands of others which I think shows them we (westerners) have little regaurd for thier lives so why should they have any for ours?

Officials: Unexploded Devices Discovered in London
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/print?id=918193
Jul. 7, 2005 - In what appears to be the first major break in the London terrorist attacks, U.S. authorities tell ABC News that police in London have recovered key parts of the timing devices that set off the bombs, suggesting they were planted in packages or bags and left behind.

There also are reports that police may have discovered two unexploded bombs as they sifted through the wreckage of the four bombs that did go off
. At least several dozen people were killed in the attacks, and hundreds of others were injured while traveling on subways and a double-decker bus. Scotland Yard has denied finding undetonated explosive devices in the wreckage.

The bomb parts and timing mechanisms should provide important evidence that could help determine who was behind the attacks, sources told ABC News.

Officials now believe that all the bombs were detonated by timing devices. Earlier today, British investigators had believed that the bomb on the bus was the work of a suicide bomber, sources said.
More good leads for the investigators.

"In November," reports Salon's War Room, Isikoff and Mark Hosenball wrote a piece for Newsweek in which they said that U.S. law enforcement officials were extremely concerned about 'evidence regarding possible active Al Qaeda plots to attack targets in Britain'."
How worried were law enforcement types? This worried: "According to a U.S. government official," Isikoff and Hosenball wrote, "fears of terror attacks have prompted FBI agents based in the U.S. Embassy in London to avoid traveling on London's popular underground railway (or tube) system, which is used daily by millions of commuters. While embassy-based officers of the U.S. Secret Service, Immigration and Customs bureaus and the CIA still are believed to use the underground to go about their business, FBI agents have been known to turn up late to cross-town meetings because they insist on using taxis in London's traffic-choked business center."


So, what did the FBI know last winter? And cheers to more prescient reporting from Newsweek which, four weeks before the Iraq invasion -- as Ray McGovern famously reminded us recently -- stated that Saddam's runaway son-in-law Hussein Kamel assured questioners that WMDs had long ago been destroyed in Iraq. ("Former CIA Analyst Blasts WaPo Editorial Staff," BooMan Tribune).

P.S. The title and subtitle of Isikoff's Nov. 2004 piece: "The Real Target? New intelligence suggests that Al Qaeda was planning to attack London, not U.S. financial centers, in the run-up to the presidential election. A Kerry adviser blames politics for the timing of the government's summer alert."
Hmm...interesting.

Sounding a bit similar to the pre-9/11 situation.

Police: London Blasts Were Seconds Apart
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20050709/D8B7TH100.html
LONDON (AP) - Three bombs containing sophisticated explosives hit the London Underground within less than a minute of each other, police said Saturday as a clearer picture emerged of the coordinated attacks last week that killed at least 49 people.

The bombs on the subway went off within a span of 50 seconds Thursday, suggesting detonation by synchronized timers rather than suicide bombers, police said, revising earlier accounts that the blasts occurred within a 26-minute span. An explosion tore through a double-decker bus nearly an hour later.

The explosions were so destructive that authorities haven't been able to identify a single body and were depending on fingerprints, dental records and DNA analysis, detectives said Saturday.


More bodies remain trapped underground, police said. Recovery crews were hampered by heat, dust and other "difficult conditions," Deputy Commissioner Andy Trotter of British Transport Police said.

Sir Ian Blair, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said he expected the toll to rise but doubted it would reach triple digits. Many of the Underground tunnels are more than 100 feet beneath the surface.

Sophisticated coordination is a hallmark of al-Qaida, the terror network blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States and said by British officials to have possibly been behind the London blasts.

"A slightly different picture is emerging around the timing of these bomb incidents," Deputy Assistant Commission Brian Paddick said at a Metropolitan Police briefing on Thursday's bombings. "All three bombs on the London Underground system actually exploded within seconds of each other, at 8:50 in the morning."

The first bomb exploded at the Aldgate station in east London. Two more went off within seconds, they said.

Police said the bombs were composed of "high explosive" - probably not homemade material. Investigators said Friday that the bombs were lighter than 10 pounds each and could be carried in a backpack.

A fourth destroyed a bus near a subway entrance, killing 13 people, police said. The attacks came as President Bush and other G-8 leaders were holding a summit in Scotland and a day after London was named the host city for the 2012 Olympics.

Forty-nine bodies have been recovered from the bombings but were so mangled that detectives have not been able to identify a single body.

"It is a very harrowing task," police Detective Superintendent Jim Dickie said. "Most of the victims have suffered intensive trauma, and by that I mean there are body parts as well as torsos."


More than 700 people from several countries, including the United States, were wounded....

Do you want all Christians to denounce the attack on innocent Iraqis by their fellow brothers as well?

The juvenile response of the patrician cowboy has gotten us nowhere. Maybe it's time to start handling this differently. It seems attacking innocent citizens of non-terrorist Middle Eastern nations is only begetting more of the same.

I wonder what would be left of these criminals if Bush had expended the resources in Afghanistan that he's wasted in Iraq.

"The police, in London and outside, everyone is on alert to act against hate crime in a robust manner to ensure it is dealt with quickly," he said. "I am happy with the way the police are handling it so far. But the media are not helping by using terms like Islamic terrorist. They should stick to what the police are saying, that these bombings are the work of criminals; crimes are committed by individuals not communities."

Move to limit backlash against Muslims

The pre-9/11 situation where Ashcroft and other Bush administration officials stopped flying commercial airliners? A mere SIX WEEKS BEFORE 9/11?

Ashcroft Flying High

WASHINGTON, July 26, 2001

(CBS) Fishing rod in hand, Attorney General John Ashcroft left on a weekend trip to Missouri Thursday afternoon aboard a chartered government jet, reports CBS News Correspondent Jim Stewart.

In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term.

"There was a threat assessment and there are guidelines. He is acting under the guidelines," an FBI spokesman said. Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department, however, would identify what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it.

A senior official at the CIA said he was unaware of specific threats against any Cabinet member, and Ashcroft himself, in a speech in California, seemed unsure of the nature of the threat.

"I don't do threat assessments myself and I rely on those whose responsibility it is in the law enforcement community, particularly the FBI. And I try to stay within the guidelines that they've suggested I should stay within for those purposes," Ashcroft said.

Asked if he knew anything about the threat or who might have made it, the attorney general replied, "Frankly, I don't. That's the answer."

Earlier this week, the Justice Department leased a NASA-owned G-3 Gulfstream for a 6-day trip to Western states. Such aircraft cost the government more than $1,600 an hour to fly. When asked whether Ashcroft was paying for any portion of the trips devoted to personal business, a Justice Department spokeswoman declined to respond.

All other Bush Cabinet appointees, with the exception of Interior and Energy with remote sites to oversee, fly commercial airliners. Janet Reno, Ashcroft's predecessor as attorney general, also routinely flew commercial. The secretaries of State and Defense traditionally travel with extra security on military planes.

The Justice Department insists that it wasn't Ashcroft who wanted to fly leased aircraft. That idea, they said, came strictly from Ashcroft's FBI security detail. The FBI had no further comment.

AL QAEDA WEBSITE TRACKS BACK TO ... MARYLAND???

Submitted by two readers.

Last night on CNN I heard them making a connection between the London
bombings and an ?Islamic terrorist? website called alneda.com. I tried to
view the website but it?s been taken offline. I did find the following three
year old reference to alneda.com on CNN:

From: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/06/24/binladen.video/

"These statements and others from al Qaeda have been appearing from time to
time on a Web site called www.alneda.com.

"In recent months, the site, which experts suspect is closely linked to al
Qaeda, also has posted manifestos signed "al Qaeda jihad" in which it says
bin Laden is alive and well and preparing future attacks against the United
States.

According the CNN June 25, 2002 web ariticle (URL listed above):

?The site reappeared in early June and this time CNN traced it to a
Web-hosting company in Texas. As CNN went to air with another story on it
last Monday, alneda.com once again disappeared from the Web.

----------

However, as the above traceroute shows, the DNS for alneda.com still points
web queries to broadwing.net, in Austin, TX.

Interesting how the U.S. corporate medium absolutely fails to point out that
this ?terrorist? webiste is hosted in Texas.

Also interesting is CNN?s suggestion is 2002 that alneda.com had ?once again
disappeared from the Web?. It appears it?s where it has always been. These
people never hear of investigative journalism? What I want to know is: who
the hell is Jon David, and why is he maintaining a ?terrorist? website in
Texas?

Maybe we should notify the Berlin, MD police of the ?terrorist? in their
midst. Or der Homeland Security? It also might be fun to contact Broadwing
and the domain name registrars and ask them what they?re doing associating
with terrorists? Weird how Muslim charities have been targeted since 911,
but somehow this ?terrorist? alneda.com has managed to reside in Texas for
three years.

"What's going on in London?" The exact same thing that is going on in Iraq every single day because of the USA & friends....... bombs and dead people.

'Excercises' were taking place at just the same time as the 'terrorist' attacks.... Just like 9/11. How incredible!

Audio

A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.

On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.

Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.

Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.

Part of the transcript follows.

POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.

HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?

POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.

Jon David, a fine Islamic sounding name, no doubt named after a martyr or
prophet or some such. Located in that hotbed of terrorism, Berlin, Maryland
USA.

I ran a traceroute to the web address. I've left off the first ten hops to
obscure the source of my trace, to protect my privacy. But as you can see
the trace ends up at broadwing.net:

Thewetlands.com is a Porn site. Kind of a strange place for an Islamic
fundamentalist to choose to host a jihadi website.

According the CNN June 25, 2002 web ariticle (URL listed above):

?The site reappeared in early June and this time CNN traced it to a
Web-hosting company in Texas. As CNN went to air with another story on it
last Monday, alneda.com once again disappeared from the Web.

----------

However, as the above traceroute shows, the DNS for alneda.com still points
web queries to broadwing.net, in Austin, TX.

Interesting how the U.S. corporate medium absolutely fails to point out that
this ?terrorist? webiste is hosted in Texas.

Also interesting is CNN?s suggestion is 2002 that alneda.com had ?once again
disappeared from the Web?. It appears it?s where it has always been. These
people never hear of investigative journalism? What I want to know is: who
the hell is Jon David, and why is he maintaining a ?terrorist? website in
Texas?

Maybe we should notify the Berlin, MD police of the ?terrorist? in their
midst. Or der Homeland Security? It also might be fun to contact Broadwing
and the domain name registrars and ask them what they?re doing associating
with terrorists? Weird how Muslim charities have been targeted since 911,
but somehow this ?terrorist? alneda.com has managed to reside in Texas for
three years.

CIA?

Right. Call them a dirty name and ignore 'em until they blow up some more subways. :roll:

It's sad that people would rather put up with this evil BS than have the United States flex its muscles.
