Al-Qaeda are the US govts greatest ally

I was thinking all the while, unless the world should end, there is no way Bush can divert the worlds media attention from this. If anything, there was nothing he could do, to avoid the British public from seeing that his war against terror was a phoney war. I was hoping the worlds media would broadcast the protests and images of the toppling effigy would be beamed throughout the world. Bush's calmness unnerved me. 

It just wasn't logical.

On 20th November, I woke up expecting the news to be full of the protests. But it wasn't.

Either Al-Qaeda doesn't know what it is doing, or this wasn't Al Qaeda. Al-Qaeda want the world to see the evil that Bush and Blair are doing. And the protests would have done that. There was no need to bomb Istanbul. The only, and reiterate ONLY people to benefit from the bombings are Bush and Blair. It diverted attention from the protests, to the 'terrorists'.

I wish I had terrorists like that on my side. The kind that bomb the UN in Baghdad, the day after the UN say that US forces should leave Iraq. The kind that bomb a Bali nightclub, the week 250,000 Australians took to the streets to protest the war. The kind that bomb a Riyadh compound full of Arabs, when Saudi Arabian citizens are beginning to become increasingly vociferous in their condemnation of the Iraq invasion and occupation.

Since 9-11, and some say including 9-11, Al Qaeda has practically done everything the US govt would ask its CIA to do. They have killed muslims. They have killed their European supporters. They have timed each bombing to maximise the amount of criticism they will receive and minimise the support for their actions. Is that the actions of the 'biggest threat to mankind, freedom and democracy' ? Logic tells me, that it isn't Al-Qaeda at all. 

Now tell me, what does logic tell you ?

As if the sex scandal and arrest of Michael wasn't enough of a diversion, Al Queda supposedly does a bombing to completely wipe the London protests off the front page. Too convenient, I think.

1. Oh come on now

... you know you can tell it's AQ immediately. That's how you know .. because you KNOW immediately.
Other bombings remain unsolved .. but AQ's are always identified immediately. See?

2. Oh dear,

how could you even think such a thing?

<sarcasm off>

Actually, the realization struck me as soon as I saw W smirking at the press conference yesterday morning after the Istanbul attack. He was way to smug and prepared for this not to be another LIHOP event.

3. After a good night's sleep, I'm even more convinced that the bombings

in Istanbul were a diversion to take people's attention on the huge protests! Al Queda always seems to strike just when Bushit needs them to -- they must be on his payroll!
