Is Al Qaida Sensing Weakness in the UK?

Al Quaida is threatening more attacks against the UK:

Al-Qaida deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri threatened more destruction in London, saying in a videotape broadcast Thursday that British Prime Minister Tony Blair would be to blame.

The tape, aired on the pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera, was delivered exactly one month after the July 7 bombings in London that killed 56 people, including four suicide attackers.

"Blair has brought to you destruction in central London, and he will bring more of that, God willing," al-Zawahri said in the tape, referring to the July 7 and July 21 attacks on London's subways and buses.

Could these threats be coming due to weakness perceived by the terrorist thanks to guys like London Mayor "Red" Ken Livingston (h/t LittleGreenFootballs)?

In the Guardian (where else?) London Mayor Red Ken Livingstone outlines “three ways to make us all safer:” “support the police,” treat Muslims with respect, and surrender in Iraq.

Of course there's also the idiot British MP George Galloway who is going out of his way to incite violence against the West. Here's what he said on July 31st on Syrian TV:

Two of your beautiful daughters are in the hands of foreigners - Jerusalem and Baghdad. The foreigners are doing to your daughters as they will. The daughters are crying for help, and the Arab world is silent. And some of them are collaborating with the rape of these two beautiful Arab daughters. Why? Because they are too weak and too corrupt to do anything about it. So this is what Sykes-Picot will do to the Arabs. Are you ready to have another hundred years like the hundred years you just had?

And later the same day on Al-Jazeera:

America is losing the war in Iraq. And this will not change. The resistance is getting stronger every day, and the will to remain as an occupier by Britain and America is getting weaker everyday. Therefore, it can be said, truly said, that the Iraqi resistance is not just defending Iraq. They are defending all the Arabs, and they are defending all the people of the world from American hegemony.

[...]

It's not the Muslims who are the terrorists. The biggest terrorists are Bush, and Blair, and Berlusconi, and Aznar, but it is definitely not a clash of civilizations. George Bush doesn't have any civilization, he doesn't represent any civilization. We believe in the Prophets, peace be upon them. He believes in the profits, and how to get a piece of them. That's his god. That's his god. George Bush worships money. That's his god - Mammon.

Galloway and Livingston have no idea how their rhetoric serves to embolden the terrorists, and will result in the loss of innocent British, and possibly American lives. They're just plain ignorant.
