So the motivation of the bombers is what everyone pretty much guessed as soon as they heard there was a bombing: They were motivated by their religion of Islam. But it’s not nice to jump to conclusion, so we have to act all surprised.
Give me a sec…
But most Muslims are such nice people! How could this happen? Did we fail them somehow? Maybe it’s our fault for what our military has done to those countries overseas; they were so peaceful and nice before we got involved! Really, the Tsarnaev’s are the true victims here! Why did this have to happen?! Why?! Maybe if we change our ways, less people will fall victim to wanting to mercilessly blow up children.
Okay, I’m done. You have to wonder what the logic was here:
1. Blow up children proving you’re ruthless murderers who can’t be reasoned with
2. ??
3. Islam dominates the world
People wonder if these two were part of some larger conspiracy. It seems too stupid and pointless to be much larger, but of course I never got exactly what sensible thing 9/11 was supposed to achieve either.
And I know the left are going to want us all to learn something from immigrants turning against us, but are Muslims going to have some deep conversations about why if you hear an explosion, you can think “Muslim!” and usually be right? Anyone working on a solution to fix that?
And are we waterboarding Dzhokhar? I mean, I know we probably got all the information we needed out of him, but maybe he can work as a practice dummy for CIA agents who need more waterboarding training.
“1. Blow up children proving you’re ruthless murderers who can’t be reasoned with
2. Leftists (and the French) surrender
3. Islam dominates the world”
Fixed it!
I imagine water-boarding would be employed if there was a prayer of him implicating the NRA or Rush Limbaugh.
Maybe he can be a practice dummy for CIA agents who need to work on their marksmanship training as well.
Maybe he can be a practice dummy for CIA agents
Just a minor point: Those that are “operational” in the field are generally referred to as “CIA officers”. “Agents” (at least where CIA is concerned) are people with access to desired information, usually citizens of a foreign country wherein said intel is being collected, who are “being run” by said CIA “officer”, and are contracted for service, but not officials or employed by CIA.
Likewise for the Brit MI-6 or German GSG-9, whose respective employees are “officers”.
The Treasury, FBI, DHS employ trained and credentialled “agents”.
IANAC!
I’ve heard several conservative pundits compare the Islamic terrorists to bullies, and then make some statement about how terrorists pick the weakest target just like bullies and that we should stand up to terrorists because they are basically just bullies.
That’s a load of sh!t I would expect to hear from Obama or NPR or msnbc, because it such a stupid, naive, over-simplified view.
The brand of Islam these radicals are smoking causes mental derangement and psychotic, paraniod, megalomaniacal behavior. They are more likely closer to the Columbine shooters who lashed out at their classmates over perceived wrongs that had been done unto them and gunned down their ‘oppressors’. These terrorists hold to the belief that Islam is the only religion to be tolerated, that the infidels have committed atrocities against them by simply not being muslim, that Allah has charged them with the conversion or extermination of all infidels, and that they will be exalted and rewarded in the afterlife for martyring themselves in His name. These ideas are preached to them by the Imams and clerics, leaders in the Islamic community, and are not dare challenged by the rank-and-file muslims, and challenges from infidels are taken as further atrocities against Allah.
Its true we must stand up to them, but they are not mere ‘bullies’. Bullies are misguided and frustrated. Islamic terrorists are deranged and evil. Its not enough to merely stand up to them. They must be beaten back, extinguished, their views not tolerated by civilized people.
I AM NOT A CRACKPOT!
I thought it was because we’re G damned ^^^#@ing thieves! We Libertarians truly are the scum of the earth.
I AM NOT A CRACKPOT!
I’ll bet it’s all the fault of those evil joooooos, at least that’s what this scary monkey told me after threatening to eat my eyeballs and turn them into poo.
I MAY OR MAY NOT BE A CRACKPOT
Scary Evil Monkeys hate questions too. They wind up flinging eyeball poo at the walls of their cages.
Guess what boys and girls? Some people just plain want to kill someone. Even more, they want the spotlight of a mass murderer. So they go out and look for a reason to justify the slaughter.
They may decide Allah wants them to kill. Or, they may decide they are the Joker from Batman.
Is it just me or does Dzhokhar look like the love child of Muammar Gaddafi and Bob Dylan?
OMFG! I just realized how similar sounding ‘Dzhokhar’ is to ‘Joker’. How long before there is a “Why so serious?” poster of this dead man?
And how long before I get to punch the first hippie for wearing a Dzhokhar ‘Che’ t-shirt?
Bacon to Bob in Feenicks!

We’re all crackpots on this bus.
You are missing the most obvious reason here.
Allah demands blood sacrifice. That is one thing that 9-11 and the recent Boston Bombing have proven to me.
If you are killing folks, like 8 year old boys, in the name of your religion, because your God demands it, you are making a human sacrifice, plain and simple.
Also: it has been reported that the older bombing bastard was angry that people thought Islam was “Violent” Guess he showed us.
