Somehow I don't think Australia is just going to roll over:
An online statement by a group representing itself as al-Qaida's European branch threatened on Saturday to turn Australia into "pools of blood" if it doesn't withdraw its troops from Iraq.
It was the second statement in a week by the Tawhid Islamic Group, a previously unknown group which on Wednesday threatened attacks in Bulgaria and Poland if their troops remained in Iraq.
"We call upon you to leave Iraq before your country turns to pools of blood," the statement warned the Australian government.
"We will shake the earth under your feet as we did in Indonesia, and lines of car bombs will not cease, God willing," the statement said, referring to the 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 people, many of them Australian tourists.
I thought they bombed the nightclub in Bali because the sweaty, drunken foreigners therein had the smoky air all "jagged with 'Strine." If it ain't one thing, it's another. These people are always going to have a reason to go bombing. Unless we convert to Islam. Then everything will be copacetic. That's why it's the Religion of Peace.
