The leaders of the 8 most powerful and riches countries in the world gathering for a conference. I'd say that's a mighty juicy target for Tango.18-Till-I-Die wrote:Stupid question: What was happening at the G8? Why would it be a target?

The Excellent Prismatic Spray. For when you absolutely, positively must kill a motherfucker. Accept no substitutions. Contact a magician of the later Aeons for details. Some conditions may apply.
That is kind of irrelevant,however. I think Iraq was a mistake, I still do and will continue to denounce it as a mistake. Having said that, this is a different issue and fully expect Al Quaida to experience the same outcome as the INLA did after the Mountbatten assassination.kheegan wrote:I have serious doubts that this would have happened if Blair hadn't went into Iraq against the opinions of both his own party and the majority of the population.

Will their position on Iraq now have to change in response to public outrage? Or will Labour take a hit as people blame this on our support for Bush and his policies?
Also, please note, in the UK it is not just the left wing liberals who disagreed with the war in Iraq. I am a Thatcherite

Bush is making a statement now - he 'appreciates' Blairs strength in going to London. Bush in talks with American homeland security. Be 'extra vigilant' in America. 'Vivid' difference between G8 people trying to stop poverty and in London terrorists killing innocent people.

It's less likely that the G-8 was a target in and of itself and more likely that a sleeper cell decided to attack London during the G-8 based on the obvious supposition that with all the British security services focused on protecting the conference, security in London would be weakened.18-Till-I-Die wrote:Stupid question: What was happening at the G8?

They could have done that without having people in the first world crapping their pants when they see the looks on the collected faces of 90% of the worlds real militaries commanders in chief... Can you imagine what people in the fucking middle east were thinking when they saw those images? Start digging more bunkers and graves, because they know whats coming...ALI_G wrote:Exposure.

I just can't see how this will result in an increase in military action in the ME. We have done all we can - apart from a few British troops in Bashra being harsher on shady looking individuals, I don't see how things will change.

Everyone seems to be assuming that al-Jazeera is al-Qaeda's mouthpiece. It is not. Their coverage might seem slightly pro-terrorist at times but that's because that's the general opinion in the middle east.Admiral Valdemar wrote:No wonder al-Jazeera is condemning this. If they so much as hinted at this being a good thing, the G8 alone would end their existence.

Australia has been debating whether to recommit forces in Afghanistan and continue commitments in Iraq. Consider those commitments confirmed. British numbers will no doubt be bolstered. By the look on Chirac's face there is going to be a decent amount of French action (most likely the DGSE getting down and dirty in North Africa and the Middle East). Putin as previously mentioned looks like he's already ordered the death squads into action. The "two wars" capability which the US military is looking at reinstating just got a MASSIVE boost to Congressional support. JSDF personnel in Iraq aren't going to be going anywhere, despite previous overtones of potential withdrawal...
Its the equivalent of having your balls in the tigers mouth and then pulling its fucking tail. You can bet your fucking house on the fact that the War on Terror (TM) just got a whole new lease of life and a shitload more backing.

Here is the translated message from AQ claiming responsibility. This was copied from Wikipedia:
---
"The Secret Organization Group of Al-Qa'idah of Jihad Organization in Europe (Jama'at al-Tanzim al-Sirri, Tanzim Qa'idat al-Jihad fi Urupa)
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and the dauntless fighter, Prophet Muhammad, God's peace be upon him.
O nation of Islam and nation of Arabism: Rejoice for it is time to take revenge from the British Zionist Crusader government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The heroic mujahidin have carried out a blessed raid in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern and western quarters.
We have repeatedly warned the British government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our mujahidin exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid.
We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused.
God says: " (O ye who believe!) If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly."
