Ninety Minutes From Eternal Hell


BBC via LGF

The photo shows Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, Germaine Lindsay, 19, Hasib Hussain, 18, and Shehzad Tanweer, 22, 90 minutes before the bombs in their backpacks exploded, sending them not to their promised virgins, but to Hell.

While Tony Blair has been sounding Churchillian since the explosions, and in so doing reflecting the majority view in his country, Leftist members of Parliament sound like they're taking their talking points from Kos or Democratic Underground:
John McDonnell of Labour: "For as long as Britain remains in occupation of Iraq the terrorist recruiters will have the argument they seek to attract more susceptible young recruits. Britain must withdraw now."

Labour ex-minister Clare Short, who resigned over the Iraq war: "We are implicit in the slaughter of large numbers of civilians in Iraq and supporting a Middle East policy that for the Palestinians creates this sense of double standards - that feeds anger."

Unbelievable. The perps in the photo are not noble warriors fighting a cause; they're Paki-Brit punks, steaming with adolescent anger that's fueled by mad-eyed, brain-addled Mullahs. These Mullahs must hear the likes of McDonnell and Short paint the Baathists and Palestinians as somehow noble and smirk.
