He knew that the gig was being broadcasted by satellite, so most fans would hear what he had to say about this.
What he said at shepherds bush had nothing to do with Afghanistan at all. The war against the Taliban, Bin laden, Afghanistan started in october 2001, in direct response to sept 11. Jon made no reference to Afganistan at all in shepherds bush he was talking about iraq.

I think the point was that unlike Bruce who has shouted his political position to the sky since 2004 - Jon is more discreet or at least not as outspoken on his own stage. They didn't say that he never makes his opinion known.

(cue me on the big screen) JBJ: "How good have you been? Oh My God!" (laughs, more teasing) JBJ: "You want it huh, you want it huh? Blood on Blood just for you, the good girl in the front row? The all request hour, the girl in the front row has just asked for Blood on Blood, ok, Merry Christmas young lady!" Amazing <3

At least a few people know how to interpret things. Thank you.
