Bush applauds UK "strong response" to terrorist attacks

Now what "strong response" would that be? The attacks failed because they were organized by incompetent terrorists who failed on their own, not because the UK government did anything in particular to stop or prevent the attacks despite the deep erosion of civil liberties during the Blair years.

Update: Police had left a calling card with a property rental manager to call police. Still not entirely convincing of a "strong response" but at least not completely out of the loop either.
