Bombers aimed to bring Baghdad carnage to UK
http://news.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=1063502007

THE terror attacks at Glasgow Airport and London were a calculated act of revenge intended to bring the carnage of Baghdad to Britain's streets, investigators have revealed.

Security sources have briefed senior politicians that the failed assaults of last weekend were most likely part of a "profoundly political campaign" to punish the UK for its part in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. snip

He added: "They are exactly the sort of thing the Iraqi people have to face on the streets of Basra and Baghdad every day, and I don't believe that is a coincidence. The Joint Terrorist Analysis Centre warned there could be an attack to coincide with Brown arriving, so no one should be surprised."

3. The quality of their "work" does not appear to be the issue here, Sir
The issue is that the British government is admitting this was revenge for their part in the brutal invasion and occupation of Iraq.

The Bush regime would be very unlikely to make such damning admissions.

2. Ha! I guess fighting them over there inspired them to fight us over here--for revenge.
Ye reaps what ye sows.
