The Obama Administration's Determination To Avoid 

The Obvious Is Reaching 

Insane Proportions - 

And It's Already Costing
American's Their Lives

It was always ludicrous that this administration embarked on a policy in 2009 of DEFINING Islamic terrorism out of existence by using solipsistic phrases like 'man-caused disasters', 'workplace violence', 'overseas contingencies operations' and whatever else they could dream up.  

So the policy the past 5 years has been to drone-strike the sh*t out of Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations overseas while at the same time not allowing even the USE of the words 'jihad' or 'Islamic terrorism' in official language in gov't use on the domestic front.  

It's not just insanely arrogant, it was also incredibly stupid, as the administration is once again being forced to use it's patented dodge that the Tsarnaev brothers are only 'lone wolf domestic terrorists'.  

How many times has the Obama administration made this claim insanely early in the investigation?  

Shoe Bomber = Lone wolf
NYT's Square Car bomber = Lone wolf
Ft. Hood shooter = Lone wolf
Underwear Bomber = Lone wolf

and now: 

Boston Marathon bombers: a pair of lone wolves. 

Now, there is an ELEMENT of truth to the lone wolf idea.  Al Qaeda has clearly switched strategies from sending operatives from foreign countries like Saudi Arabia to the United States to carry out a single, specific attack.  Like they did on 9-11. 

No, what they'll do now is FIND radicalized Muslim fanatics who ALREADY LIVE inside the target country and encourage them to act.  

But can a guy who traveled to a foreign country to meet radical Islamic terror groups and get training, encouragement and funding before returning to launch his own 'lone wolf' attack REALLY be a lone wolf? 

HOW DID THE GOV'T MISS ALL THE RED FLAGS? 

There is a story in the British press about the Saudis sending the Dept. of Homeland Security a warning in a letter in 2012 that mentioned Tamerlan Tsarnaev by NAME and that he was linked to a plot to launch an 'explosive attack a major US city'.  The Saudi official quoted anonymously in the report also claims the British Gov't got the same warning the Americans did.  

On the condition of anonymity, a DHS official confirmed to the Daily Mail that such a letter does indeed exist, and he had heard about it before the Daily Mail called and asked regarding it.

It must be remembered that when it was initially claimed that the FBI had interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev back in 2011, the FBI at first issued a flat and complete denial.  Only after family members were talking in the press about the interviews they had with the FBI did an abrupt about-face occur. 

"Oh. THAT Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Boston! Oh yeah, ok. We talked to this guy 2 years ago, didn't find anything." 

When the bombing happened on Monday, you would have supposed by the time the video and pictures of the suspected bombers were circulating all over the country on Thursday morning that SOMEBODY at the FBI or the DHS would have been poring over the list of people in the Boston area with radical Islamic ties. 

I mean, how long do you suppose the list is of people that live in Massachusetts with terrorist ties? How many make the list of 'a foreign gov't told us to watch this guy for terrorist activity' list?  If such a list is more than a couple hundred names long, I'd be shocked.  Was nobody looking at known or suspected Islamic radicals in the Boston area in that 4 day span from Monday to late Thursday night, when the terrorist brothers decided to ambush a cop? Would that police officer be alive right now if somebody at the FBI or DHS has been doing the COMMON SENSE THING and looking at known radicalized Muslims in Boston? 

As I ranted on Twitter the other day, from the earliest beginnings of this administration's roll out of it's 'smart power' policy of redefining the domestic terror threat out of existence, people were warning this would put the walls between federal agencies right back up and put us on a pre-9/11 footing again.  AND AMERICANS WOULD DIE BECAUSE OF IT. 

Dick & Liz Cheney were exactly right, as all the fumbling and bumbling by the FBI, CIA, DHS and White House the past 2 weeks has amply demonstrated.
