Britain failed to protect London even after Israel warned Britain of coming Al-Queda terror – inefficiency or conspiracy?
India Daily News Bureau
Jul. 7, 2005
Israel knew and warned United Kingdom of possible terror plots to disrupt life in London. But British authorities failed to respond accordingly to deter the attacks, according to an unconfirmed rumor circulating in intelligence circles. Israel is keeping quiet for the time being with a lot of pressure on them.
Fact of the matter is that British Authorities knew it is coming, warned the Israelis before the first bomb. The Associated Press reported July 7 that an anonymous source in the Israeli Foreign Ministry said Scotland Yard had warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terrorist attacks in the U.K. capital. The information reportedly was passed to the embassy minutes before the first bomb struck at 0851 London time. The Israeli Embassy promptly ordered Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remain in his hotel on the morning of July 7. Netanyahu was scheduled to participate in an Israeli Investment Forum Conference at the Grand Eastern Hotel, located next to the Liverpool Street Tube station -- the first target in the series of bombings that hit London on July 7.

Prison Planet | June 1 2005
George Galloway made worldwide headlines on May 17th when he appeared in front of a Senate committee on investigations, after its members accused him of profiteering from Saddam Hussein's regime by receiving vouchers for oil, despite the fact that such allegations against Galloway had already been proven to be based on forged documents.
Galloway did what no American on Capitol Hill could, he told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

MoD plans Iraq troop withdrawal

The Ministry of Defence has drafted plans for a significant withdrawal of British troops from Iraq over the next 18 months and a big deployment to Afghanistan, the Financial Times has learnt.
In what would represent the biggest operational shake-up involving the armed forces since the Iraq war, the first stage of a run-down in military operations is likely to take place this autumn with a handover of security to Iraqis in at least two southern provinces.

Warning, no warning. Do we really know. I find it so amusing how so many can sit back and have such wonderful hindsight on matters they were not even there for nor have knowledge of.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get from each bombing site starting from the first to the last? Just a theory of mine I'm trying to go for.
When governments warn of possible impending terrorist attacks, like the U.S. government all-too-famously has (what color alerts haven't we joked about ad nauseam?), it is mercilessly lambasted for “trying to scare the sheeple”.

The only problem is, when do you suppose we would find out the truth?

When governments warn of possible impending terrorist attacks, like the U.S. government all-too-famously has (what color alerts haven't we joked about ad nauseam?), it is mercilessly lambasted for “trying to scare the sheeple”.
When it doesn't, then the same crowd of naysayers invariably accuses the government of either not being prepared enough, not warning people when it should have or, ironically enough, being behind the attack itself.
The first rule of conspiracy theory is that a conspiracy can only exist if it makes sense.
Most of what I see posted about this and other terrorist attacks these days doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
Hence my enduring skepticism.
For what it's worth, I still don't know for sure who was responsible for 9-11, let alone this attack, but I would rather be uncertain -- and be right to do so -- than jump to some ridiculous conclusions, think I'm infallible, shout it from the rooftops in front of God and everybody and end up being dead wrong.
Though it may not be much, I respect my credibility too much to throw it away like that.
Different strokes for different folks.
