B”H it didn’t go off.

Check your facts…only dead white people are newsworthy!

The story isn’t up on CNN now either. You have to click through several screens to find it.

A car carrying a 400-pound bomb was driven through barriers at the Policing Board headquarters in Belfast, Northern Ireland, police said Sunday.

Two men ran away from the vehicle, and there was a small explosion about half an hour later, as the building was being evacuated, the Police Service of Northern Ireland said in a statement. They believe the bomb exploded only partially.

Thank God for that.

Still the IRA gets how much funding from America? Anchor baby could scream cut off the cash. And didn’t Libya train some of them back in the day?

A reason for Blair to become GWB’s poodle could be a secret agreement between the Blair & Bush US to cut off the IRA funding coming from people of Irish descent in the US.

Hard to fight a war of terror when your own people are supporting terrorist attacks in your long time Allie’s country.

Gives a whole new meaning to “special relationship”.

Doesn’t matter — the alleged “gang” plotting to blow up the Sears Tower didn’t even get to the bombmaking part, yet the Conbloggers and the GOP/Media Complex were all over them.

Just like they weren’t all over the Noonday, Texas couple who made pipe bombs and anthrax and suitcase bombs for like-minded righty militia groups all across the country.

Hey, the “troubles” are so Last Millenium…this might make the Dumb Crimes annals in Brit TV, though. they love to bash the Irish.

DING DING DING!

If the IRA still has connections to the Middle East who better to sneak stuff into America or buy the stuff they need right here as a favor?

Did Bush cut off their funds?

Whats on the news now another missing White Woman?

Nope. Brown guys shopping for beauty supplies are newsworthy even when they don’t get as far as planting a bomb that didn’t explode properly.

Is hydrogen peroxide cheaper at beauty supply stores or at Walgreen’s?

rightybots: nutjob in TX murders a bunch of people ’cause he’s mad at his employers over a possible religious discrimination complaint = int’l terrorism, 400 lb truck bomb in the UK = a British/Irish internal affair

OT but breaking:

SC hiker Mark Sanford faces 37 counts worth of ethics charges, including possible criminal charges.

There are different strengths, what is available at beauty supply stores is stronger than what is on the shelf at Walgreen’s

I can’t get over how stupid this motherfucker is.

Ah, so desuka. Thanks. Is the beauty supply stuff better for small cuts and wounds, if ya know?

On second thought it’s prolly way too strong to be used as an antiseptic.

’tis all that C-Street mumbo-jumbo about God putting their residents above the law. The David Principle.

Don’t answer, Elliott. You’ll see this afore you see my edit.

The real Peter Principle’s more like it.

A sad day for all of Ireland and her people, to see ‘the troubles’ reemerge once again on this level.

That’s MY bottom line. A lack of coverage of it here in USA?

Not so big deal to me. Foreign sources of media have always been more revealing and informative than any US source . . . for decades and more.

Back to work.

Namaste

So basically, they want to lock up people unlike them because obviously, those people have greater chance of being violent.

And they don’t care about white people who actually ARE violent. Silence is assent, no?

I say the Anchor Baby and the rest of them need to be investigated, audited, etc. within an inch of their lives. They don’t care about terrorism within the United States.
Anchor Baby stalked a family when the young son spoke on the radio about medical help he had received after a brain injury.
How she lives with herself I will never know. Didn’t she also hound someone so much that the person committed suicide?

Followed your linky. But, but he cried and stuff.
In this day and age, you can run, but you can’t hide. Except the deep down cults. Mark should have known better.
Accountability. Now.

“Didn’t she also hound someone so much that the person committed suicide?”

I believe it was a provost or vice-chancellor at UC/Santa Cruz when MM was posting personal contact information for her rabid followers to “confront” the terrorist sympathizers on campus. However, I understand the victim had much deeper problems than just the insane cheerleader munchkiness.

What happened in Northern Ireland is only the beginning.When we have world governments borrowing money to bail out their selective banks while ignoring their jobless and homeless populace,more and more will take matters in their own hands.People like myself see a government that allows the few to privatize their profits made with the taxpayer dollar while all debt accumulated is layed at the feet of the poorest.

IOKIYr
It’s OK If You’re republican

Thanks BT,

Sorry, right wingers have no imagination, they only have beliefs.

How’s GI JOE Lieberman going to explain this attempted terror attack in Northern Ireland when it was not done by ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS?

Guess that blows Joe’s “Jewish Platform” of which group, and only that group, to go after as terrorists.

There are all types of terrorists out there. Need I remind him of Timothy McVeigh?

O/T, but I thought it worthwhile to pass on this comedy story…

So what are the odds that Rupert will enforce the edict?

I guess it’s time to wiretap any Irish descendant living on the east coast, especially those working on Wall Street with a large amount of disposable income, and learn if any are directly or indirectly funding the IRA or other terrorist groups.

You can never be too sure…

If violence returns to No. Ireland it will indeed be a horrific turn of events, in addition to the failure of negotiation to effectively and definitively resolve the conflict.

Also. We’ll be forced to endure Bono singing “how long to sing this song?” ad nauseum.

“We’ll be forced to endure Bono singing “how long to sing this song?” ad nauseum.”

NOOOO!!!! Please. Anything but that!!!

It’s hard for Murdoch to use his media empire as a neocon megaphone when the crazies at Faux are making it a laughing stock. The “errors” are so blatant it makes one wonder if chimps (not Shrub, he couldn’t past the 1st grade level literacy test) are working off camera.

Funny how I missed the memo when FOX was identifying all the Republican perverts, swindlers, cheats, philanderers, and all-around asshats with a big (D) after their names. I guess those little slips weren’t actually “on -air errors.”

I’m enjoying it too… Heh…

I think that whole “lying by omission” thing is still valid over there.

Do you mean the Head Hoon Drongo Murdoch, or his sidekick, Roger Ailes?

Neither of ‘em will enforce anything that they don’t have to, although last week I saw a brief clip (sorry don’t know where; can’t find it) of someone harassing Hoon Drongo about him agreeing with Weirdo Beck that BHO is a “racist.” Hoon Drongo was quite aggro and had slipped back into his native “Strine” accent rather than the more hoity-toity trans-Pacific accent he usually employs.

Good times! Love to see him sweat.

Still, Hoon Drongo prolly just went home, bent an elbow or 2, and regained his composure.

Was the bomber Catholic? Let’s profile all Catholics in the military, in the government, hell, in all of society. Catholicism’s not a religion, after all, it is a violent political system that calls for the overthrow of governments around the world.*

* – Remarks very similar to these have been recently made by conservatives regarding Muslims. Does it somehow seem more offensive when we imagine it to be directed toward primarily whites? Maybe the bomber should be tried at Gitmo, because it would surely threaten the very foundation of the U.K. if he were tried anywhere within their boundaries. Democracy simply cannot withstand the rule of law.

We don’t know if funds were cut. We do know there was more flexibility in negotiations, and the result was, I believe the current accords.

I await Douchehat on “Catholicism is a religion of peace, unlike Islam”.

Concerning the bit about the Irish in the US financing the IRA, my ex-mother-in-law was an avid supporter of the IRA. I suspect she also helped them financially.
