How's that "war on terror" going?

Three subways and a bus were hit by "explosions or attempts at explosions" in London today (and no, today is not 7/7). I expect a quote from Condi Rice soon: "Nobody could possibly have forseen bombings on three subways and a bus in London."

And there's this:

From CNN:

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, warned Wednesday that more terrorist attacks could be in the works in the kingdom.

The embassy issued a warden's message, or advisory, to the American community in Saudi Arabia saying that it "has received indications of operational planning for a terrorist attack or attacks in the kingdom."

Do you get the feeling that we're really "fighting them over there" for the purpose of "fighting them here?"
