Never an excuse to bomb innocents.

They say this morning's explosions in London were done by al-qaeda affiliates.  I don't believe this. I'd like to begin to formulate why.

The French last week did not want Paris to do all that work in their bid for the Olympics.  Paris completed it anyway.  Yesterday, London won the bid for the Olympics and suddenly some people of France were offended.

The Egyptian envoy was beheaded, the one who didn't want to make the trip at the Saudi's request. He did so and was kidnapped then beheaded.

In Scotland at Gleneagle, the G8 summit was being held, the very place Tom Delay had taken part of his 3 week vacation.  The people of Scotland did not want Bush or Blair there.  They were in fact insulted.

So there are 3 possible connections to this series of explosions in the subways and buses of London.

Today the explosive devices were not deemed to be dirty bombs and no suicide bomber was attached.  It is my guess that the devices were strategically placed with remote detonation devices attached.  This is the kind of work the Palestinian Liberation Front and the Irish Republican Army used to do back in the 70s.  Both would definately see an opportunity to gain attention and both might feel they have a motive.  These attacks were well thougtht out and planned.  There is only one organizer who used such sophisticated methods for such little destruction.  He was an engineer and he was mercenary we once used.  Perhaps it was one of his proteges.  I doubt it. I truly doubt it. He has bigger fish to fry and is probably under direct orders to lay low for now by his sponsors.  No, I doubt bin Laden had anything to do with this one- though they are already saying on News entertainment stations that he is responsible.

John Kerry was right, we must treat this as a constant police matter.  One gang of bombers goes down and another rises, just like all other gangs.  Let's keep aware, folks.
