CAIRO, Egypt  — A group calling itself "The Secret Organization of Al Qaeda in Europe" has posted a claim of responsibility for the series of blasts in London, saying they were in retaliation for Britain's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The statement was published on a Web site popular with Islamic militants, according to Der Spiegel magazine in Berlin, which republished the text on its own Web site.

"Rejoice, Islamic nation. Rejoice, Arab world. The time has come for vengeance against the Zionist crusader government of Britain in response to the massacres Britain committed in Iraq and Afghanistan," said the statement, which was translated by The Associated Press in Cairo.

The authenticity of the message could not be immediately confirmed.

It does not make sense to me that, if this was designed to coincide with the G8 meeting, it was done in London and not in Scotland? Or is there something here I don't understand? All opinions/comments welcome.

Larger concentrations of people make for better targets. The proximity to the G8 meeting created more publicity. It has all the marks of an al-Qaeda act. Lately their bombers have been trained in how to attack mass transport targets by the Chechen terrorists who have been targeting the Russians.

"We don't win by behaving like them - murdering innocent children and women along with the guilty.
We win by tracking down the guilty and mercilessly eliminating them wherever found.

There is a middle ground between genocide and wrist-slapping."

These are old tactics that have worked in the past. Unfortunately, this war is not the same. Rules of war are not the rules of murdering terrorists and new methods that work against terrorsits must be employed. For example--this method is crude but is affective against muslim scum--pig parts, guts, lard, and blood have a place in the war against these murderers. Something to think about is the method used by Blackjack Pershing in dealing with muslims in the Philippines.

For several reasons no.
1. I want to stage a victory parade (Tanks, IFVs, AAVs, etc.) through Mecca.
2. I want to melt down (or cut and polish) their little black meteorite and use it cast medals for our veterans.
3. I want to hold the Kaaba hostage against their continuing good behavior.
4. Failing 3, I want to concentrate Islamic regular and irregular forces into nice, compact areas suitable for nuking.

I don't want to destroy their city - I want to annihilate their ability to wage war and commit terrorism.

And I'm sure the security around the G8 was much tighter than in London. Maybe that was a factor.

I didnt understand some of your post

*******************
Sarg, what you probably didn't understand are the bottom 3 lines which are "taglines" I include with my every post.

As you can see by the last tagline, I have been haranguing for a while that the Dems have been trying to turn Iraq into Vietnam for political gain. And I've been saying that the GOP should call them on it- and call it what it is- treason.

I've been saying that DUBYA should be calling for a "sense of Congress" resolution on Iraq. In other words, get all Legislators ON THE RECORD as to who's with us, and who's against us. Let the DEMS pay a political price for their treason. NOW, he should definitely do it!!!

Sorry, for the confusion.

Dems, hello??? We could get out of Vietnam; we can’t GET OUT of terrorism.

London has very tight security, albeit the leaders at the G8 would of course have very tight security. The main thing is London presented targets with concentrated people for killing.

[CDHart]

"The main thing is London presented targets with concentrated people for killing."

There really is no effective way to prevent this, is there? And in England, there's such a large population of Islamists, it wouldn't matter if they had visas or passports or not. They wouldn't need them.

I'd be all for that. I'm sick of fence sitters. Its time to either side with the terrorists or fight them. Let the COngress decide which.

Every Muslim nation in the world is all messed up, and Muslims want to flee to the Western Nations to mess them up too. USA, Britian, Canada, Australia, and Europe have all been fools to allow these savage people into their countries. Expect more terror to come. Expect the Muslims to multiply at a rapid rate ,and you will not be disappointed.

I thought I was being broad enough in my satire that no < /sarc> tag was required. But I forgot/ This is FR. It is always required.

[cicero's_son]

Extremely well said, sir.

[Dark Skies]

Actually, I dislike those d@mned tags. I would have gotten your meaning except for the unusual anger this morning over Islam in general...and I suspect I need another cup of jo.

[Haru Hara Haruko]

Oh, come on now. No reasonable modern faith would behave that way. Why, I was just scanning the news for all the denouncements of this attack coming from the leaders of Islam. I'm sure I'll find some.

Real.

Soon.

Now.

Any.

Minute...

[Former Proud Canadian]

Good ideas in post 83.

[gridlock]

Yeah, it's a lousy day, all 'round. These thugs will get what's coming to them, soon enough. We just need to be patient.

[Jacob Kell]

Really? Is Demoncat Underground actually blaming Bush for the attacks?

[wizardoz]

WATCH OUT HOLLYWOOD! BEWARE MARTHA'S VINEYARD!

Oh, great. I live in Hollywood.

[Ippolita]

Very interesting point!

"We don't win by behaving like them - murdering innocent children and women along with the guilty.
There is a middle ground between genocide and wrist-slapping."

Yes of course there is -
and the muslims raced right across that middle ground long ago, proving to me at least that genocide should be our favored option.

Be an excellent object lesson to would-be terrorists everywhere.

[linkinpunk]

Yes. They are blaming BFEE (took me a while to figure out ... Bush Family Evil Empire)

Here is the name of the thread:

"so much for Rove indictment....bush crime family strikes again"

(but cannot post more because it would violate FR rules)
