The Australian embassy in Jakarta was bombed today. Lots of casualties.
Tony Blair released a statement right away, condemning the attacks yadda yadda.

As for the White House? Australian blog Road to Surfdom has the official response:

The White House has now released a statement (also mentioned in comments by Peter). Actually, "statement" over-dignifies it. It's an offhand, standard response of the sort given to any sort of attack. The spokesman shows a complete lack of recognition of the significance of it for Australia and for the region and indeed, for their "war on terror". Here's how the exchange starts. You tell me how big a deal the White House thinks it is:
Q Jakarta bombing. Got anything on it?
MR. McCLELLAN: What about it, just looking for a comment?

He then gives the proforma response and that's that. An al Qaeda group have just committed another atrocity and the White House can barely raise a comment.
"What about it"? Amazing.
