Guess I'll try to get back to sleep now. The cat woke me up at 4 am by rubbing his ice cold, wet nose on my elbow. Twice. Annoyed

So, the owner of the Mercedes the two terrorists hijacked in the craziness was not killed because he wasn't American (or they didn't believe he was American).

Great..... And Salon.com ran an article hoping the terrorist was some white, right-wing extremist group.

EDIT: Also, apparently the Mercedes had a "COEXIST" bumper sticker.... Smilie It gets better and better....

So, Tsarnaev has been charged with using a WMD. So apparently an IED is considered a WMD. Since a huge number of our soldiers have been killed in Iraq by IEDs, why do we still keep hearing how no WMDs were ever found in Iraq? Dontknow

There was also the lady from yesterday's press conference with Jay Carney asking how the Obama administration responds to the deaths of 11 Afghani women and children by the US military.

Does she not know the definition of INTENT? We're also conducting ground operations in Afghanistan with an enemy that is willing to surround itself with women, children, schools and mosques such that they can use the press to advance their cause not IF but WHEN women and children get killed b/c of their own strategic placement to maximize civilian casualties. Then, I go into the Podium and people pretend that President Bush or President Obama are intentionally targeting civilians.

I'm disappointed that Jay Carney didn't stop her and call her out.

And Jay Carney basically gave a non-answer to her question.

But, yes, let's talk about INTENT.

As to what drove Tamerlan to violence, his younger brother has apparently told investigators it was his hatred of America, and its policies in Afghanistan and Iraq, law enforcement sources said.
The U.S. creates blowback from its intrusive foreign policy, but I'm sure everyone will continue to ignore it as usual. Though even Newt Gingrich brought it up some months back and said maybe messing around in all these countries has not been a good idea. Welcome to 1953, Newt!

The Russian government contacted the FBI multiple times about the radicalization of the older brother.... --> http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/n...aign=sm_tw

The older brother and his family had no problem taking our taxpayer money from welfare while developing his hatred for America --> http://www.weeklystandard.com/blo...19056.html
