Cell phones were likely used to set off the London 7-7 bombs. Which makes sense, given they all went off at about the same time. So, the suicide bombers themselves did not push the button. There's a possibility that they were unaware the bombs would go off while they were carrying them. This shows what suckers all suicide bombers are: they've all fallen for the sales pitch, that they'll be doing a heroic thing if they blow up women and children. Meanwhile the vast majority of the community that encouraged them to do so, has no interest at all in getting blown up themselves.

#3I don't think that affects the validity of the "there's a possibility"/"this shows" argument.
#4Your criticism is reasonable in that it you point out that the argument for the statement may appear to some to precede the statement. I'm adding in a colon to make it explicit that the argument for the statement you criticize follows, rather than precedes, the statement.

I wonder how you'd react to an argument along the lines of...
There's a possibility that the Bush administration deliberately manipulated intelligence in the buildup to the war in Iraq. This shows what suckers all Bush supporters are.
