Ladys and gentlemen, the city of London, as I am sure you have heard, was bombed or an attempt was made to bomb London. It is still in the minds of most Londoner the attacks of July 7th and now they have been the target yet again of the Terrorist Beehive. The United Kingdom could not be run better than it is with Tony Blair and John Howard. Tony Blair as you may know is the PM of Great Britain, and John Howard is the PM of Australia, both of these guys know how to handle terrorism, Australia has been under attack ever since they liberated East Timor, much like we are doing in Iraq. Blair is also a strong leader who has been Pres. Bushes strongest ally.
Yesterday, in the wake of the attacks, Tony Blair and John Howard held a
joint press conference, and both of them came out and told the truth, here is a piece of what John Howard said; "On the issue of the policies of my government and indeed the policies of the British and American governments on Iraq that the first point of reference is, once a country allows its foreign policy to be determined by terrorism, it's given the game away to use a vernacular. And no Australian government that I lead will ever have policies determined by terrorism or terrorist threats. And no self-respecting government of any political stripe in Australia would allow that to happen. Can I remind you that the murder of 88 Australians in Bali took place before the operation in Iraq. And can I remind you that the 11th of September occurred before the operation in Iraq. Can I also remind you that the very first occasion that bin Laden specifically referred to Australia was in the context of Australia's involvement in liberating the people of East Timor. Are people, by implication, suggesting we shouldn't have done that? When a group claimed responsibility on the website for the attacks on the 7th of July, they talked about British policy, not just in Iraq, but Afghanistan. Are people suggesting we shouldn't be in Afghanistan? When
Sergio de Mello was murdered in Iraq, a brave man, a distinguished international diplomat, a person immensely respected for his work in the United Nations, when Al-Qaeda gloated about that, they referred specifically to the role that de Mello had carried out in East Timor because he was the United Nations administrator in East Timor. Now, I don't know the mind of the terrorist. By definition, you can't put yourself in the mind of a successful suicide bomber. I can only look at objective facts are, and the objective facts are as I've cited, the objective evidence is that Australia was a terrorist target long before the operation in Iraq. And, indeed, all the evidence, as distinct from the suppositions, suggests to me that this is about hatred of a way of life; this is about the perverted use of the principles of a great world religion that, at its root, preaches peace and cooperation. And I think we lose sight of the challenge we have if we allow ourselves to see these attacks in the context of particular circumstances rather than the abuse, through a perverted ideology, of people and their murder."
This is, in my mind, a quote that should go down in history because he is telling the liberal media that, no it is not the fault of Government policy that these jihadists are blowing themselves up.
To give you an idea what kind of brought this on is Prime Minister Blairs remarks; "What these people are trying to do, whoever is responsible for this latest incident and that is to intimidate people, to scare them, to frighten them, to stop them going about their normal business. Obviously people will be concerned and anxious. Of course they will. That is why it is important to give as much information as we can. But on the other hand, it is important also that we respond by keeping to our normal lives and doing what we want to do because to do otherwise is, in a sense, to give them the very thing they are looking for. " This is biblical, by the way. Now comes the interesting part, some critish chick reporter stands up and asks; "Do you feel that in a sense your policies may have put people in this position? " and here is what Blair said; "Well, I think I said to you before, that I feel that people who are responsible for doing these things are the people who do them. "
So this gives you an example of what kind of leaders we have as allies and what kind of media we have in those country, the same kind we have here. Let me give you an example. here is a quote from CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour; "This is almost identical to what happened two weeks ago. Yet, nowhere near as serious, and the police are saying now, even Blair, that this is obviously an attempt at simultaneous explosions. They went off pretty much simultaneously, but some of the devices didn't work properly. How is it possible? I mean, is it, do you think it is the same kind of people? Or, or, what kind of people would not be able to get four devices to explode? " Enough said. What the heck?!.
I have one more thing to say before I go. When you go out into your backyard and there is a Beehive, you ugh take it out before some of your kids get hurt. In the process of getting that beehive out, you yourself might get stung. The bees in the hive are not just going to sit around and let you take them out, they are going to do everything they can to stop you.
Terrorists are Bees.
