London attacks

I have read a number of analyses and intelligent articles on the last London bomb attacks; in my opinion though, they were put together in a hurry by people who realized that their first attack had failed miserably its objective. London's calm, organized and efficient response must have been a grave humiliation for the terrorists. Now, of course, they failed again, both by underestimating Londoners' reaction and by overestimating their own capacity to inflict fear and create chaos.

Naturally, some buffoon like Palestinian National Council member Mamoun Al-Tamimi, will continue to fantasize and invent for the benefit of his ignorant and gullible audience (clearly his opinion):

"…this operation will bring down the government. Blair will fall just like Aznar did. When Spain was attacked, Aznar immediately tried to pin it on ETA and the Basques. Then it turned out that Al-Qaeda was behind the attack, and he immediately lost the elections. Blair will follow Aznar. This is certain. Therefore they want to cover up...
First of all, they prevented the media from filming the attacks. The attacks were enormous, a thousand times greater than what was reported."

If another proof of their failure was needed, there it is.
