Thursday's bombings within the city of London were immediately labelled by Tony Blair as 'terrorist acts carried out in the name of Islam' . Such a rash supposition is not only superficial but also misleading in assessing the true identity of the culprits. In actuality there are only two plausible entities likely to have planned and executed the bombings. They are either The United States of America, or indeed an Islamic militant group linked to Al - Qaida.
1) The possibility of the U.S. being behind this action is linked to the recent escalation and strengthening of Britain within the international situation. With Britain being recently given the EU presidency, the role of hosting the current G8 summit was another opportunity for Tony Blair to solidify his position and Britain's as the leading European nation. The media frenzy prior to the G8 summit had portrayed Blair as the host who would act on behalf of the other G8 leaders in pressuring the U.S. to finally accept the Kyoto treaty. Coupled with the farcical Live 8 pop concerts, the buoyancy of the successful Olympic bid and Gordon Brown's popular debt elimination plan, Blair was experiencing a media and public support he hadn't received since the heyday of his leadership. Even days prior to the G8 summit, Blair seemed unyielding towards America as he persistently commented on how as G8 president Britain would lead the way into convincing George Bush to accept the terms of the Kyoto treaty, fairer trade and increased aid to Africa. It was evident that George Bush would have to play second fiddle to Tony Blair and Britain during the G8 summit .
It is a fact that Bush had no intention of conforming to European media pressure or Britain's will with the following comment made in Denmark the day before, 'Kyoto didn't work for the United States and it frankly, didn't work for the world'. Furthermore Bush outlined his proposal for the G8 summit by stating the U.S. had spent over $20bn in research and development for alternative fuels to crude oil. As U.S. official Faryar Shirzad stated, 'their (Europe) approach has largely been driven by working through the Kyoto protocol; ours has been one based on trying to advance the science and technology in this area'. This falls in line with the U.S. policy to cripple Europe within the Gulf via the high oil prices as explained in the comment 'Oil Prices - U.S.-Euro Conflict but the Ummah Pay for It'.
As the bombings took place a clearly shaken and distraught Tony Blair came forward to make his statement. Clearly unprepared and stuttering, Blair was unable to hide his anguish at the decision made by the other G8 leaders when he commented, 'the G8 leaders have agreed to continue the summit in my absence'. Such a comment was unnecessary considering the national crisis but also highlighted the humiliation Blair felt from the G8 leaders who had decided not to postpone while their host briefly visited London. Such a decision was obviously led by the United States. It was also a clear indication of the possible hindrance America felt by Blair's presence and also worked to emphasize to their counterparts his total insignificance. In fact the humiliation was deepened as the bombings worked to America's advantage further by conveniently ousting the British Prime Minister from the negotiations while allowing Bush to almost immediately give a far more confident, impressive (and better prepared) press conference in Gleneagles about his agenda regarding the 'War on Terrorism'.
Even as this was occurring conflicting reports were emerging from the U.S. and British media regarding the death toll. Within hours the American press had quoted victims above the 40 region while the British press had commented that less than a dozen had been killed. The British press confirmed a few days later that the number had exceeded 40. Somehow the U.S. knew the nature and potential damage of such bombings better than their British counterparts who were at the scene.. Furthermore U.S. officials clamed that the devices were detonated by timers while the British were contemplating the possibility of suicide bombers. A few days later the British also confirmed the high possibility of timers being used as detonators.
By the time Blair had returned to Gleneagles and the G8 summit had concluded, America had recorded a categorical victory. On the issue of Global warming the G8 issued a statement which mirrored that of America's only days prior and had almost omitted any mention of the Kyoto treaty. Stated the G8, 'uncertainties remain in our understanding of climate science…'. With regards to African aid, America had avoided writing any precise figures within the G8 declaration (as it had desired) instead 'agreeing' that the G8 and 'other donors' would increase aid by $25bn. Incredibly the U.S. had not only completely bypassed the proposed aid target of 0.7% of GDP, of which they were strongly against, they had even managed for it to be deleted from the declaration.
Somehow by arriving at the G8 summit under international pressure and scrutiny to conform to the European demands, the U.S. had left the summit further imposing its hegemony and having her arrogant demands met. Also the world was once again reminded of the threat of terrorism - the excuse for America's imperialistic foreign policy. Additionally the Europeans, specifically the British, who had generally been against the War on Iraq, will now have a venomous fervor to take revenge on the 'people who possess an ideology of murder' as Bush so often states.
2) As for the second possibility - It was just a group of Islamic fundamentalists who bombed the largely Muslim areas of Aldgate and Edgware Road, while simultaneously removing any serious media attention from the ongoing calamities within the Middle East and consequently aiding America's bloodthirsty War on Islam…..
