Explosion Rocks the center of Oslo Norway

Not rebels, Gaddafi had made threat to attack Europe. However Norway was going to end its Libyan mission next week.

So then perhaps this will be blamed on Gaddafi in an attempt to justify not ending their presence there.. or perhaps by people who want them to stay there fighting? There's a ton of countries attacking Gaddafi. I highly doubt they'd go after the one that was planning on stopping. Gaddafi doesn't want a war.. if he sees a country is going to step out and have no part of it, he will be happy about that - less terrorists for him to face. So for him to do this makes no sense. My money is on somebody who wants to punish Norway for planning to remove their presence there. (hell probably somebody from the US, UK, or France) "Oh look what Gaddafi did. See, he is a monster. All of Europe must unite to take this beast down! Now is not the time to retreat - no rest until this tyrant is defeated" *sigh*

EMS is very busy, that's for sure. I am seeing a lot of head injuries...

Well.. Americans kill hundreds of civilians each day in foreign lands, and Norway has been sucking your feet since 9/11. This is sad, but it wasn't unexpected. They tried to do this in Sweden as well, but the bomber failed. Somehow, the more terrorist attack civilians the more encouraged the united states and it's military machine gets, and the same goes to all civilian deaths caused by NATO encourages the terrorists.. So this is basically a war that is never going to end.. Why? Because you have people benefiting from it and that's why it keeps going on without any strategy of winning.

They are laughing at you while you die and sacrifice you liberty for security.

Let's not jump to conclusions here. It was likely just a couple of CIA agents on PCP.

 

[CasualApathy]

Apparently they've caught the shooter, should give some answers.

Bingo.

Radical Libyan Islamists attack the one country that was going to stop bombing them????

Bullshit all around.

My default position is skepticism of anything that government will say about this.

 

[falconplayer11]

I HATE the way that conservatives jump so quickly to blame the attack on Muslims. Fox News.

 

[CasualApathy]

There have been constant threats against Norway for years, as recently as a month ago a new book containing the controversial Muhammad cartoons was published leading to outrage amongst radical Muslims. That's what's being discussed on Danish TV atm.

 

[SamuraisWisdom]

Agreed wholeheartedly. It's always innocent people who pay for the actions of their governments.

But that doesn't excuse the people who decided to retaliate by killing civilians instead of attacking that particular government.

 

[CasualApathy]

Latest reports say that several people were killed during the shooting at the political camp on the island of Utøja, many more wounded.

 

[ClayTrainor]

Very sad

 

[CasualApathy]

The extensive destruction in Oslo points to several explosive devices having been set off, but it is too early to say for sure according to Norwegian police.

 

[CasualApathy]

There are still dead bodies in the buildings, according to police.

 

[CasualApathy]

Latest eyewitness reports from the shooting claim that the shooter looked to be Norwegian of appearance.

 

[CasualApathy]

These eyewitness reports are heartbreaking :-/

"I was talking to my daughter on the phone, she was very frightened - suddenly I could hear her screaming, and the phone went dead. We haven't been able to get a hold of her since" the distraught mother of one of the young people gathered at the political camp told our reporter on the scene.

Perhaps not Muslim extremists. perhaps Norwegian "extremists".

 

[CasualApathy]

Right-wing extremism which is allegedly on the rise in Europe is now being brought into the discussion regarding who could have been behind this attack...

EDIT: according to danish TV

I think the GWOT is pissing a lot of people off. Not just Muslims. And repression and a police state will create "extremists" (dissent)

That's not dissent, that's just bloody murder, though.
