I wonder what would happen if some "real" terrorists decided to launch a coordinated attack.

Uh, Oldengland, I think it's happened, maybe a few time, y'know? Like in India, and England, and, and,...yes?

By the way, are you a Brit, if you don't mind my asking? I've wondered now and again but you've never said. I appreciate voices from outside our cloistered country; you guys often get news we never do, and definitely perspectives we don't often hear.

As to Boston, I'm not sure what else they do, with a guy loose like this. What do you think would happen elsewhere? No snark there, I'm truly interested.

Uggh... lefties disgust me with the way they drop down on their knees and open their mouths to anyone who is British. Just move there already.

We may have been caught with our proverbial pants down, but the response has been rather swift. We'll learn a thing or two and hopefully be ready for the next go round. Oh yeah, this may very well happen again.

But I do get it. what if the guys were truly smart and well trained, not to say that these guys weren't trained somewhere, but they were either too arrogant or too stupid and had no plan of escape.

Smart move on law enforcement's part to cut off public ground transport, and they must have known that the airports would be covered. Well, one down and one to go. Bravo to the cops, FBI etc.

You didn't already know that, Mark? Well, can't blame you; paying attention to the pathetic spew which emanates from Wulf usually isn't worth remembering...and who wants to know more about him, anyway?

SGG, yer cute.

From what I've been hearing, these guys weren't very on the ball...which just shows how much damage even stupid people can cause. The father was being interviewed over in Russia, interview stopped because he just got taken away by authorities, poor guy. He's been spouting that it's a frame up, but also claiming stuff that either the kids lied to him about or he's lying about (sounds like the kids to me, about being a boxer with a title and so forth...which means dad's not to on top of things either...). Just a mess all around, and horribly sad.

Yes Niki, I'm English, it's no longer PC to refer to ourselves as British, it offends the Scots, Welsh and Irish republicans.
My point is that after more than ten years of fighting the "War on terror", two boys have managed to turn Boston into a Swazenegger-esque movie scene. As to how it would be dealt with in the UK, there would probably be less panic but more deaths as our police are a lot more "thin on the ground". We're very good at preventing incidents of organised terror due to our experience with the IRA etc, but this kind of spontaneous act is still more likely to slip through the net than not.

My thoughts too.

I first question the decision to wait almost a full day to release the photos of the 2 brothers to the public. That right there was time wasted which could have been used by law enforcement to get the public's help in tracking these guys down.

Also, how in the hell does a 19 yr old kid, no military training, in a full out gun fight, get behind a wheel of a car which is being riddled w/ bullets, drive past ( through ? ) a police barricade, and then disappear into the wee hours of the morning, when freaking every cop in that part of the state is right in the vicinity ??

And 15 hours later, he's STILL not captured ?


I have to smirk at the 'praise' being given to the law enforcement involved here.

I get that tactical order and precautions must be observed, but I'm getting the feeling that these guys out thought themselves, and let this punk get away. Maybe not for good, but if any other civilians are harmed or killed because of this colossal blunder ( and this is what it's become ) then partial blame MUST be placed on the FBI, and who ever the hell else was in charge here.
