Bush’s fault
The Washington Times reports that both the Chechan government and the Islamic rebels who are trying to topple them are denying any connection to the Boston terror bombing plot.
“Any attempt to make a link between Chechnya and the Tsarnaevs, if they are guilty, is in vain,” wrote Chechen Republic President Ramzan Kadyrov in a posting on his official Instagram page. “They grew up in the United States, their views and beliefs were formed there. The roots of evil must be searched for in America. The whole world must battle with terrorism,” he said.
I’m guessing that President Bush’s response to the 9-11 attacks has something to do with no one embracing the Tsarnaev brothers’ dastardly deed. No one wants to wake up to a squad of 82nd paratroopers in their bedroom, or be constantly searching the skies for an incoming Hellfire missile.
Even the Pakistani Taliban won’t take credit for the attack, and they were proud of their role in the shooting in the face of a teenage girl.
We may not live in a safer world, we may not have won the war against terror, but at least everyone knows what they can expect from the US when they poke the bear.

I’m glad it was Bush instead of Gore!
I hope this is a wake up call to whom we give asylum to and how we go about granting citizenship. What a completely fucking bozo family.
Gee whiz, nobody wants to claim them as buddies? I was right. Lone wolves.
This should be interesting, especially since their uncle said the reason for this whole Godawful thing was because they were ‘big losers’ (his words) and couldn’t settle into America.
I agree, for once I agree… It is all Bush’s fault. AATW!
@3 no one wants to claim them because as Jonn points out there will be hell to pay for anyone connected. The FBI was asked by the Russians to look into the older brother 2 years ago. The Russians do not randomly ask the FBI to look into someone who has lived in the US since 2003…
The connection is not with country, anyway, it’s with ideology. In this case, that ideolgy is rooted in Islam. Already, I see, the younger terrorist is being referred to as a “student” and “young student.” I have no doubt that the lad will have his US supporters and will be the object of much sympathy. They’ll probably be a FB support page for the little bastard. (Oh, gee, I forgot. At this juncture he is merely the ALLEGED bastard.)
The “big stick” in the President’s foreign policy tool box are the AF B-2s/B-52s and Navy sub fleet…raining heavy metal on any target within a few short hours. One example, the late not so great Col Khaddafi got a how ya doin demonstration of American might in 1986 courtesy of the “Great Communicator”. Pretty sure there are many in the ME w/ long indelible memories of that event, and how it shook up the colonel. Heck, he probably pissed and crapped in his skivvies.
I remember that, it was during my Senior year in high school,Quadafi quickly sheathed his saber and shut his mouth afterward!
Gee I remember that too… I was in the Med someplace, Reasonably Deep and Very Quite!
OH, yeah, I remember that. Wasm’t it on a Tuesday?
If the FBI is smart (and they’re a LOT smarter than Holder), they’ll keep this whole thing under wraps and let people speculate until they get what they want out of him. If he does have a jihadist connection, which is possible, he’ll end up in Gitmo, the land of plenty of nothing to do except bow to the east and play soccer.
A – I hope he gets a Jewish lawyer. 🙂
B – His naturalization last year can be revoked or rescinded.
c – I have no sympathy for the little worm at all.
#1 –
Just for the sake of discussion, I’ve always said that the terrorists need to be glad it WAS Bush in the White House on 9/11/01. Nuclear weapons were on the table that night, albeit not for long – but Al Gore would have been under INCREDIBLE pressure that night to hit back hard and show he wasn’t weak on defense. I submit he would have turned the key to prove he was going to ‘get even’.

Mike Koslowski: frankly, I think you’re 100% wrong. Give his embrace of leftist/”green” causes, I think it’s far more likely that Gore would have done nothing – or would have tried to “reason” with al Qaeda. If he did a damn thing, he’d have treated it as a law enforcement issue, just like his predecessor. IMO that’s what caused 9/11 in the first place.
#8 My senior year as well! Joined the Army shortly after that!
Ex-PH2: he was captured on US soil. That means he almost certainly won’t end up in GTMO, regardless of citizenship.
The SCOTUS has ruled that the POTUS has the authority to detain US citizens as unlawful enemy combatants. However, I simply don’t see this Administration having the stones to do so.
Hondo, please don’t spoil my day. 😉 I am allowed to daydream.
I say let the Russian’s get our revenge on Chechnya muslims.
We are the Eagle, Russia is the Bear. Everything else sounds about right. Glad they are calling him enemy combatant. Maybe he can spend a few decades in Gitmo? At 19 years old I am thinking his older brother was the real push behind this. The parents are in total denial about it all.
I see this morning on CNN the father saying it was a frame up and that he is coming to US. Screw him Deny him entry. The Dead one should not be buried in this country. Perhaps dropped into the Ocean with OBL.
@19- or bronzed in place. A statue, riddled with bullets, face down in the fucking gutter. where it belongs.
Given the info about their social media habits, etc., I really think that it was the older brother who was radicalized first. Once their father returned to Russian a year ago, which would have been about the time the younger brother graduated from high school, the older brother started to radicalize the younger brother.
He must have been successful because anyone who would place a bomb next to little kids, next to people who looked him in the eye, is a monster and deserves the worst we can throw at him.
Even though I know we need to interrogate him, I really wish they hadn’t taken him alive.
Wonder if the cause of death on the older brother might just be from being run over and dragged by an automobile driven by the younger brother. Something rather satisfying about that possibility.
Of course they’re denying it. They don’t want to be the next country to get shithammered.
Why would Obama thank Putin for Russia’s assistance?
There are muslim groups around this world, and all Prognazis in this country, who celebrate each American death. A bombing leading to death ALWAYS provokes responses: public affirmations of approval. See also: Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, The Palistinian Authority, The Paulistinians, Code Pink, the New Black Panther Party…
The news channels are as silent on reporting these responses as they are about reporting on the Gosnell serial-murder trial in Philly.
Is this a case of the dog not barking in the night, or do America’s existential enemies truly love us now?
I’m with Hondo at #14 on that. Gore would have proven to be “Obama-Lite” had he been in the White House. He wouldn’t have done anything but “strongly condemn” the attack. What would have been even more interesting is Gore’s reaction to the whole WMD issue in Iraq (after Colin Powell made his announcement to the U.N.). For some reason, I think the appeasement of our enemies would have started many years ago.
@19, 20, I say throw the corpse into a hole lined with pig entrails, cover the corpse with another dose of them, and then bury the damn thing!
[…] Ain’t Hell has a bunch of great posts up today but I like this one by Jonn called “Bush’s fault” and this one called “Christie is a moron, too.” […]
I may be alone in my opinion, but something about this whole Boston thing reminds me of the mass shootings the past few years, and of brazen incidents of terror such as the 1997 North Hollywood bank shootout.
That is, the perpetrator who feels ‘slighted’ and alienated by society and feels a need to strike back in the most horrific of ways. It is true there is a fundamentalistic aspect to this, more so for the older brother, and in no way am I trying to minimize that. Recent reports indicate the older brother started changing and becoming more radicalized.
And yet, to me, ultimately to me it’s about a narcissist who wants attention and in the most notorious way possible. Why did the Conneticut shooter and the Colorado shooter choose those venues and targets? Because no one ever expected such a thing to happen. Same with the Boston Marathon. There will be media attention due to the fame and prestige of the event, but you don’t expect tons of armed guards everywhere.
The two made no attempt to disguise themselves out in public except for some caps. They mingled among the crowds until placing the explosives. Surely they knew there would be cameras everywhere.
The only thing missing is the manifesto. Who knows what the younger brother will say if he makes it through.
@28. I think what he will say is “Allah Akbar!”
I was running errands today and almost had to pull over and throw up when i heard on the news that the ACLU has made a stink about him possibly not being read his Miranda Warning.
