Sounds like it's time for the dynamic duo of Bush-man and Blair, the boy wonder to go get Iran!
They're the super-criminals behind this, right?

When I first saw the story (read: heard the explosion and spoke to friends living in perpetual twilight) I was amazed they weren't blaming the bogey, erm, I mean terrorist man. Apparently there were sounds of a light aircraft moments before the explosion though, so maybe they're just leaving their options open.

Out of curiosity what is Bush man's secret superpower? The ability to lie convincingly?

The abillity to steal whole oil wells in a single military action?

Bush-man has Neo-con radical mind bendy powers; he can make people believe the stupidest things, and then feel good about themselves for it.

Osmam-bin-Baddie has similar, if less potent, powers, but he also has an orbiting platform of WMD's (got em from Saddam, don't ask me how he got em into orbit, though), so it's kinda urgent we do something.

So, does the fact that nary a whisper of the 'T' word has been uttered by either Mr Blair or Mr Bush bring any of y'all to the realization that your cynicism has more to do w/ your own issues and misconceptions of what is really going on in the world than any basis in reality?

Naww. I understand. It's more fun for you to mock others instead of objectively looking at the facts.

I understand it's easier for you to mock us than admit the person you voted for is a war mongering moron.

No. Don't you guys listen. Iran is the one who thinks that since the Holocaust didn't REALLLY happen, then its ok to exterminate the Jews now. Thus they plan to "wipe Isreal from the map".

Isreal, not Britain.

No. This is clearly a French reaction to losing their Olympic bid.

The rumours that I am related to a canine are grossly exaggerated.
