Twitter and Breaking News

Within the hour, there was a bombing in Oslo, Norway (which I can't even begin to explain) but it's huge news. It sounds like there was a massive explosion next to a building that was very well built.

I find it interesting that the first pics come through Twitter. Some gruesome.

Edit: It gets weirder:

Other breaking news--Obama is giving a speech about the financial crisis and what got us here. He is speaking some hard truths. Despite the fact that I agree with what he is saying, and that it needs to be said, I wonder if this is his administration's "malaise" speech.

Who in the world would have a grudge against--Norway? I think maybe the reindeer were involved. Perhaps they feel they've been exploited too long without an official voice in the government. Next thing you know, they'll be running over Norwegian grandmas!

I thought the same thing, 10:26. Why would someone bomb Norway?

Were muslims and burkas involved?

Islam. The religion of peace. Embrace it or die.

I heard Muslims were spreading their love again in Oslo.

Norway has been getting tough on muslim hate speak lately. That and bombing Libya.

Lots of Muslims dislike Norway. They are heavily involved in lots of international issues like the World Bank and WTC, and I may be remembering incorrectly but I think the guy who drew that cartoon of Mohammed that drew such ire was from there as well. And that they gave refuge to the guy who wrote the novel that earned him a death sentence if ever found.

Rage, You are batting a thousand. You are as always incorrect.

But Obummer and many others would have us believe that Muslims are all just nice people. At least, the Christian bible does not preach to kill the non-believers.

Janet Incompetano has just announced that white right wing Christian conservatives are to blame.

Per a Mr. Willis McCants,
Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami (Helpers of Global Jihad) seem to make a claim of responsibility. They claim it is in response to the occupation of Afghanistan and insults to the Prophet Mohammed. It has come via Shmukh, an elite jihadi forum.


Norway should LEVEL Afghanistan.

The gunman has been caught.

Per Ketil B Stensrud, a freelance journalist, the worst thing about the incident on Utoya is the gunman would only get 21 years sentence by Norwegian law.

If I was a police officer assisting in the capture of this freak I would wish that my gun would "accidently" go off in the direction of the gunman's head.

Norwiegen black metal caused this.

It's all because of arrogant Norwegian imperialism. As somebody's longtime spiritual advisor would put it, "Norway's chickens have come home to roost!"

Let's hope that Norway does indeed show some serious thirst for reprisal.

I fear attacks may hit US soil soon.

Rage is correct. Norway published the infamous cartoons that pissed off the Islamic radicals. Norway has troops in Afghanistan. They recently deported an Islamic radical.

Let's face it--someone needs to level Iran's nucleur program, or else it's hasta la vista for any semblance of peace and order for the Middle East and the rest of the world! Lately, ANY mention of Islam is always coupled with death and mayhem.
