Boston Marathon Bombings and Obama's Phantom War on Terrorism



Tea Party Unity steering committee member Don Feder pulls no punches. In the following column, he takes an unvarnished look at the politics and media surrounding the Boston Marathon bombings and other incidents.

Barack Obama promised to get to the bottom of the latest terrorist incident – or his middle name isn't Hussein. Secretary of State John Kerry called the bombing in his hometown "simply unacceptable." (Hey, it worked with North Korea's nuclear program, didn't it?). Senator Dianne Feinstein says she's preparing a bill to ban large-capacity pressure cookers. (Really, do civilians need them?) Hillary blamed an Internet video mocking Muhammad for the carnage. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano deplored the "man-caused disaster" and DHS has begun rounding up the usual Christian suspects.

I thought of these possible headlines on Monday, while contemplating the "horrific act of violence" (in media-speak) about 20 miles from my home. What do we know about the Boston Marathon bombings and Obama's phantom war on terrorism?

       1. The date was significant. April 15 is the day Boston celebrates the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which marked the start of America's struggle for nationhood. It's also Israel's Independence Day. Muslim terrorists like to attack on dates with symbolic significance. (The Benghazi attack occurred on the anniversary of 9-11.) Would it be so surprising if they struck on a day special for the two nations they hate most in the world?
