Straight talk from the Brits

LOOKS LIKE AL-QAEDA'S WORK: DOWNER

July 08, 2005

THE terrorist bombings in London had all the hallmarks of an al-Qaeda attack, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said today.

He said while the British authorities were still being cautious about who was responsible for the carnage, in his judgment it was more than likely the work of al-Qaeda.

"It was well co-ordinated, it would have been planned for a long period of time," he told ABC radio in Adelaide.

"You can assume that it was timed to go off to coincide with the G8 summit in Gleneagles.

"It has those characteristics of an al-Qaeda attack."

Will do Vel. Will do.

One of my co-workers rides public transit every day and he's not worried (at least he's not showing it).

I'm good here. Heavy weather starting to move in. Some tornado warnings posted for central VA.

Seen reports of more threats to Denmark and others around Europe. Britain and the rest of Europe will be in my prayers tonight.

Some put on CNN was saying that the WOT cannot be won. It CAN be one, but we're going to have to get dirty to win it. We're not there yet, but each attack brings us closer to be being willing to get that dirty.

To all my TM FRiends,
I'd like to echo Jerseygirls comments that we've all been kind, caring, civil and supportive. I've seen too much animosity on other threads. It's almost shameful.

To my FRiends, and lurkers:
Sadly, events have proven that we cannot relax and we must ALWAYS be ready. The TM threads provide the information on how to get and stay prepared. Please make use of them.
