This was a huge bomb in Turkey and remember Osama has promised a major strike that will make 9/11 pale in comparrison...I believe he threatend to take out 100,000 at one time.

1. I just can't help but wonder
1) are all these attacks really al Qaeda? I mean, there have to be multiple terror organizations. Is Bush and company grouping everyone together just to make it simple?

2) if we can send $87 billion to Iraq how come we can't update the FBI and CIA to at least be able to monitor this stuff better?

Our national security head seems to be so far up our ass that I'm suprised more people aren't mad at Bush.

2. Yeah, Al Qaeda is really smart...
Bali bombing designed to get Australians behind Bush.

Turkey bombings on British interests designed to get the British behind Bush.

Both occur when the criticism is at a high. What a coincidence.

3. The British bank in Turkey comes only close
I am afraid, very afraid that this bush war is the beginning of something as far-reaching and ill conceived as the Crusades. We got the seed, it is bearing fruit.

5. "Al Qaeda" has become the generic word for all the worlds ills...
it has become a useful tool to maintain fear.
