The Pack of the Lone Wolf

It seems another story out of president Obama's Washington is changing today.  This time it is the persistent claim that the Boston Marathon bombers were "lone wolves" who acted with no ties to terrorist groups whatsoever.  Indeed, the big expression at the time was that the Tsarnaev brothers "self radicalized".  That's right, the warning from Russia about Tamarlan Tsarnaev were unimportant since a "careful" FBI check showed that Tsarnaev was not involved with terrorist activities.  (Other than the batch of bombs he cooked up and the policeman he shot, of course.)  That six month stint in Chechnya and Dagestan was just a family visit to Papa Tsarnaev.

Today, the FBI shot and killed a man in Orlando, Florida who had ties to Tamarlan Tsarnaev.  We do not yet know what happened for sure; we only know that another man from Chechnya is dead at the hands of the FBI.  We have to assume that the dead man gave the FBI a reason to shoot; the FBI is not in the habit of shooting down innocent or unarmed people.  So there is an armed man with ties to Tsarnaev and to Chechnya who dies in a firefight with the FBI.  It certainly sounds like another member of a terror cell.  So much for the lone wolf theory.

The sad thing is that the lone wolf theory is yet another example of a story put out by Washington in an attempt to help president Obama.  After all, dealing with a lone wolf is extremely difficult.  On the other hand, missing a terror cell after multiple warnings from Russia about it is an example of incompetence in the federal government under Obama.  Besides, Obama already told America that the war on terror was over and that we had won. 

America has to function in the real world; belief in delusions will not help.  We have to stop following the delusions being pushed by the Obama administration and its progressive ideology and start living in reality again.
