"Talking Points Memo this evening is about sanitizing terror, failing to deal realistically with the deadly enemy. I was having breakfast in Killarney, Ireland when the terror attack news broke. My first thought was al Qaeda trying to disrupt the G-8 summit in Scotland. My second thought was now maybe Europe will wise up. Generally speaking, the European media is viciously anti-American when it comes to the war on terror. If all of the anti-U.S. bitterness were redirected into anti-terror bitterness, the world might defeat these savages. A few days ago, Edward Wong, a reporter for The New York Times, described Abu al Zarqawi as a 'Jordanian fighter.' Can you believe an American newspaper would print that? Al Zarqawi is a vicious al-Qaeda killer, a man who beheads civilians and orders the murders of women and children. That kind of sanitizing terrorism must stop! Talking Points urges you to begin holding people accountable for their position on the terror war. Walk away from media that excuses or sanitizes these brutal acts. The USA is not the problem in this world. The terrorists are. And if you don't agree with that, you are helping killers like al Zarqawi. Enough's enough. London should be the last straw."

Guests: Don Kirk, Christian Science Monitor & Anna Pukas, Daily Express

The Factor was joined by two reporters who were on the ground covering the bombings. Anna Pukas of the London Daily Express went to a hospital where many of the wounded were being treated. "We have a lot of people with smoke inhalation, broken limbs, and limbs that had been blown off." Pukas predicted an anti-Muslim backlash. "It has started already. Some Islamic leaders report getting abusive e-mails and telephone calls." Despite the carnage, Don Kirk of the Christian Science Monitor noted that most Londoners seemed remarkably composed. "There was an atmosphere of normalcy, sort of a forced calm.

Guest: Terror victim Conrad Murkitt

Conrad Murkitt, who was aboard one of the bombed trains, provided an eyewitness account of the reaction. "I was impressed with everybody in the train. Some people did lose their composure a little bit, but there were level headed people there who did keep the calm." The Factor commended London's citizens and the British first responders. "That's amazing that the emergency services in the tube got down there so quickly, and that the people didn't panic, that everybody conducted themselves in a way that was safe and responsible."

Guest: Former Asst. Secretary of State Jamie Rubin

Former Assistant Secretary of State Jamie Rubin, joining The Factor from London, expressed hope that the bombings will unite the world against terror. "I certainly hope what it does is restore that sense of solidarity the world had after the atrocities of 9/11, when leaders from all over the world were united in the fight against Islamic extremist terrorists, when we had even French leaders making statements of solidarity. The Factor doubted whether much of Europe - with the notable exception of England and a few other nations - will change their attitude. "Mr. Rubin, I submit to you, Europe is a cowardly continent. They know what the stakes are. They don't care. It's so infuriating to me and to millions of others watching this broadcast that they sit on their butts and they don't help us."

Guest: Terrorism expert Steve Emerson; Dr. Nile Gardiner, Heritage Foundation; R.P. Eddy, Center for Policing Terrorism; Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt

Terror expert Steve Emerson told The Factor, "The British government has allowed so many radical Islamic clerics to live freely in London and preach jihad, not expecting them to all of a sudden bite the hand that feeds them. They have not dealt with the threat in a realistic way." Emerson specifically denounced the BBC for its biased reporting. "The BBC almost operates as a foreign registered agent of Hezbollah and some of the other jihadist groups." The Factor reminded that a New York Times reporter referred to Abu al Zarqawi as a Jordanian fighter. "When I read that, I ripped up the paper. When I read that The New York Times called al Zarqawi, a guy who beheads civilians, a Jordanian fighter, I ripped the paper up. I was so angry."

Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation agreed with The Factor's assessment of Europe. "I think the French and Germans and many others are weak, cowardly and spineless when it comes to the war on terror. Let's face it: only two countries, the United States and Great Britain, are actively engaged in fighting Al Qaeda and in waging the global war on terror." The Factor predicted a vigorous response from the British. "Great Britain is not Spain. They're not going to cut and run. This kind of thing just makes the British more determined."

R.P. Eddy of the Center for Policing Terrorism expressed concern about vulnerability in the United States. "We have 400,000 police officers in this country that are not trained to investigate, that are not trained to prevent terrorism by the federal government. The federal money is not there. If you're a first responder in this country, you're getting money to clean up. You're not a 'first preventer' being trained to go prevent terrorism and find bad guys."

Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt urged an unrelenting war on the terrorists. "We have to go after countries that have been harboring these people and deal with them very, very aggressively. My point is, take the gloves off. Bin Laden cannot be allowed to live. He's too strong a symbol. Zawahiri, is the number two man that I think is the guy that planned what happened in London. It was very well thought out, very well executed timed terrorist murder event. That's Zawahiri, the number two guy. Can't be allowed to live. Biblical justice."

Guest: Ahmed Younis, Muslim Public Affairs Council

Ahmed Younis of the Muslim Public Affairs Council urged British authorities to follow the American model of dealing with Islamic extremism. "The United States has got it right. Under the leadership of this president, law enforcement has created a significant relationship with Muslims to secure Muslim institutions and make sure that when saboteurs are in those communities, they are prosecuted." The Factor's concluded with two predictions. "Al Jazeera is going to say something stupid, something really stupid. Number two, there's going to be a backlash against innocent Muslims in London. That's going to happen."
