Oslo

…What the heck happened in Oslo?

Not sure. I was just thinking seriously about emigrating there. Something like 4 million people and 10 percent of the worlds oil reserves.

I’ll just go skiing and kiteboarding all the time. Won’t need a job or a CFA thanks to the “progressive” system they have there. I cant wait!

According to NYtimes, Jihadists have claimed responsibility. So it looks like it is a terror attack. I’m assuming it’s because Norway is a part of NATO. And NATO is in Afghanistan. http://www.nytimes.com/

my boy is vacationing in Oslo right now, better give him a ring.

^ why is progressive in quotes? Sarcasm? imo it seems like they actually have a pretty good thing going; solid middle class, strong GDP per capita ($52,013 per capita vs $47,284 in USA). Their debt per capita is a problem though ($454,768 per capita vs only $45,097 in USA). Compared to most countries, it seems like the US still has all kinds of room to take on more debt

CBS News -------------------------------------> http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20082156-10391695.html “Global Jihad” group says it’s behind Oslo blast By Pat Milton People give phone calls as they stand near a burning government building in Olso on July 22, 2011. (Credit: THOMAS WINJE) A group called “Helpers of Global Jihad” has taken responsibility for the bomb which ripped open buildings, including the prime minister’s office, in Norway’s capital, CBS News has learned. It is apparently the same local shadowy extremist group that the Stockholm bomber in December 2010 had said he was connected to. In the 2010 Stockholm blast, the bomb, in a backpack, went off prematurely and the bomber blew himself up. However, the bomber had left behind a video protesting the Afghanistan war and the killing of Muslims. There is no confirmation that this group was indeed responsible. Investigators are also trying to determine if there are links to this jihadist group with the core al Qaeda organization. They are looking too to see if there may be a connection to three al Qaeda individuals recently arrested in Norway. Traditionally on a Friday in Norway, government workers are allowed to leave early at 3 p.m. for the weekend – and investigators speculate that the bomb may have been intended to inflict big casualty damage at that time. The bomb – an improvised explosive device – may have been contained in a vehicle. The size and type of bomb is unknown at this time. Though a powerful blast, the bomb didn’t bring down any buildings like the Oklahoma City bombing. This Norway bomb was a significant blast but mostly glass and debris damage. There was no big crater immediately evident.

i still don’t understand why these guys refuse to come to a table to talk about these things and instead rely on mass killings to get their ‘message’ across

Because we are infidels and must be killed. There is nothing to negotiate.

They said they arrested the shooter, he was dressed as a police officer
