PunditLisa - this is a transcript of Blair’s initial statement and this is an article including several of his further comments from yesterday and today.
PunditLisa-
I found a transcript of the whole speech here. I hope you find the quote you were looking for. 
You’re being an offensive jerk here Icefalcon. One of the reasons that British (and Irish) people have been so sympathetic to America over this is precisely because thousands of people here have been killed by terrorists.
I’d recommend you not to post here again. Even more I’d recommend you not to post any more about Irish-British relations until you do a little homework.
Whoops…sorry, Francesca!
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! I wasn’t the one who politicized this thread!
Back to the OP: Ol’ Queen Bess and her mum and dad have always been the only people in that family of theirs with a lick of class, and I appreciate her gesture.
I was listening to the news on the radio when they played the Star Spangled Banner, then announced that it was being played in Britain during the changing of the guard.
My heart swelled with gratitude and appreciation for the British government.
While I’m at it, heartfelt thanks to all our allies for their support. You are all greatly appreciated, especially now.
Moderator’s Notes: I have 2 points to make here.

I am beyond impressed at how much England is with us.
When I was there, they played a Michael Jackson medley. So, um…
Thanks for the links, guys. Here’s the quote I was looking for:
“As for those that carried out these attacks, there are no adequate words of condemnation. Their barbarism will stand as their shame for all eternity.”
I saw this on the news just before I had to go somewhere, I was going to start a thread when I got back. Naturally, the awesome Straight Dope community beat me to it.
It reminds me of something from a Tom Clancy book that I’m paraphrasing.
Countries don’t have friends, they have common interests. The relationship between Britian and the U.S. is the exception.
I personally beleive that either country would go through hell and back for the other.
there is a reason that the first adjective i think of when when i think of britian (no, my eyes aren’t closed) is : class. today proved it again.
as far as canada goes, i have your flag joined to mine, as we have been through all of this, JOINED. the instant response from canada will never be forgotten.
for the the land down under, the immediate email i got from an aussie i was corresponding with will not be forgotten. her words made me fell like all of you were standing with us. amazing.
My friends in England can’t even call me, all circuits busy, or something.
The web is our only link but its nice that they think well of us.
And God bless NATO, too. When are just going to just form one big country, huh?
Okay, maybe I’m getting carried away.
They just replayed the news coverage of The Star Spangled Banner being played outside Buckingham Palace.
Thanks, Brits. That was one extremely moving honor.
May the Union Jack fly alongside Old Glory forever.
New York and Washington is visited by many thousands of Britons every year. For many people in the UK, New York is familiar ground. And the same is true of Irish and many other peoples. And many of them also work or have worked in Manhattan and Washington.
But I am sure if this attack happened in the most remote town in the West or deep South - the reaction would be equal.
I know the ‘troubles’ are not to be discussed here. But I hope that both sides in Northern Ireland will see what the fruits of terrorism really are, and they will stop their fighting cold.
Amen to that, jaimest.
Yes, big thanks to the Queen and all of the UK for a wonderful gesture of support. I’ve been following everything very coldly, broken mainly by moments of rage…but this came real close to making me cry.
Note that this is in no way meant to minimize my appreciation of what the Canadians, Aussies, and all of our other friends worldwide have done. Thank you all so very much.
In watching CBS coverage of the wonderful gesture the Queen, UK, and Tony Blair made this afternoon, British officials (I believe) were quoted as saying that the estimated 200+ British citizens killed in the attack would rank this as the most deadly terrorist attack on the British as well.
The maginitude of this is still staggering. I am not a historian of British policy and confict, but considering the issue in Northern Ireland, and the frequency at which the UK has participated with us in UN peacekeeping the fact that this would rank as their worst terrorist attack is simply unreal.
Of course, the definition of “terrorism” is somewhat vague, and the UK has seen her share of bloodshed in various conflicts, but the number of truly innocent people killed here is frightening.
Our Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, said that the number of British dead is likely to be in the ‘middle hundreds’.
That’s not why we’re upset, nor why we’re standing beside you, though. We’re standing beside you because tens of thousands of civilian human beings are dead.
