I listened today to a series of people discussing whether or not the guy who set the bombs in New Jersey and New York was a "lone wolf" or part of a "cell", and, if part of a cell, was it one that is just affiliated or inspired by ISIS or an actual part of ISIS. There is really only one fair response to all these people, and it's something that Hillary Clinton famously said:
"What difference, at this point, does it make?"
Here's perhaps the question of the day that all these people must answer. If someone at the Marine race in New Jersey had been killed, would he or she be any less dead if the bomber were only a lone wolf rather than a member of a cell? And would those who suffered wounds in the blast on 23d street in Manhattan be in any worse condition if the cell to which the bomber belongs is just inspired rather than directly tied to ISIS?
The reality is that we need to catch those involved in carrying out the attacks, ALL those involved in the attacks. The arguments about the nature of the perps is just plain silly.
One thing that is not silly, however, is the recognition of terrorism as terrorism. Yesterday, NY mayor De Blasio told us that terrorism was not involved with the bomb blasts. It was an idiotic thing to say. Of course, the worst of all was the attack by Hillary, the Democrats and the media against Trump for calling the bomb in New York a "bomb" rather than an explosion. There's a terrorist attack and these fools worry that it's somehow wrong to call a bomb a bomb. Given that these are the same people who worry about calling an Islamic terrorist an Islamic terrorist, I guess this position makes sense to them. Nevertheless, it is still complete idiocy.
