Wonder if the fact that London won the bid for the Olympics has anything to do with the attack.

Apparently these attacks were planned for some time and since it was just announced yesterday that London got the Olympics, I would tend to think it has more to do with the G8 meeting. And the fact that terrorists want to terrorize civilized people, especially countries supporting the war in Iraq. Curious these weren't suicide bombers. I guess you just run out of them after so long.

Maybe but I seriously doubt it. The news already said it was Al Quieda related.

I find the timing interesting though. The French were helping Sadam way back when, the French didn't get the Olympic gig so their muslim buddies bomb London.

France is probably thinking, who needs enemies with friends like Al Queida muslims.

Bombings so far, USA, Spain now London. And there are still people out there that say muslim extremists are "peaceful"?

riiiiiiiiiight

Strongly doubt the Olympic bid was a factor. More likely the G-8 summit, or simply the calendar date.

Well, the French are poor losers! (Sorry, couldn't resist the obvious cheap shot.)

The coinciding of the Olympic selection and the G8 meeting made gives it high visibility.
