Default Fox News says London blasts "to Western World's advantage"

The following exchange between Fox News host Brian Kilmeade and Fox News
business contributor and substitute host Stuart Varney occurred during
breaking news coverage of the attacks on London subways and buses on the
July 7 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

KILMEADE: And he [British Prime Minister Tony Blair] made the statement,
clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the
last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where
their topic Number 1 - believe it or not - was global warming, the second
was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should
know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. ** But it's
important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage,
in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like
this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened. **

VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at
the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming
off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks
terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.
