Cole, Sirota Comment on the London Bombings
Here are a few comments that tie in yesterday’s bombings in London with the larger issue of al Qaeda-sponsored terror. From Juan Cole: Implications of London bombing. And from David Sirota: Iraq, London & America’s homeland insecurity.
The idea that, because our troops are in Iraq, terrorists will only attack us there and not “in the streets of our own cities” is, first and foremost, an insult to our troops because it treats them as if their entire mission is to serve as bait for terrorists. That’s not what our troops – or America – was told this was all about.
Secondly, are we really supposed to believe the same terrorists who masterminded the 9/11 attack can’t walk and chew gum at the same time? I mean, maybe George W. Bush and the dolts around him are so intellectually impaired they can’t do two things at once – but Al Qaeda sure can, and any sentiment to the contrary is idiotic.

The attacks in London are being described as the work of Al Qaeda. Sept. 11 was the work of Al Qaeda. Madrid and Bali were the workd of Al Qaeda.
Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda – it is the enemy, yet they invaded Iraq.
