the obama administration refuses to acknowledge the reality of islamic terror, or of global jihad. the older brother went to russia for six months last year, yet the fbi and homeland security let him slip through their fingers. he was not questioned when he returned from Russia, despite the warning the fbi had received about him. these agencies can be only as good as the man who gives the orders from the top.

not interested in solving issues but just interested in their egos, own agenda and in winning the next elections. Those losers aren't even capable to spell the word: "Islamic terror". They are so damn scared. The democratic party became so full of it. Obama why don't you just resign that would be the best favor you could do to America and the rest of the world.

FBI Agent: "Now, it says here in my file that you emigrated from the Caucasus region of Russia. Tamerlan, are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" Tsarnaev: "Of course not! I'm Chechen! I hate Russians more than you do!" FBI Agent: "Very good. Are you a member of any Terrorist organization?" Tsarnaev: "Define Terrorist. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, right?" FBI Agent: "Well, you know like Kach, IRA, Shining Path, ETA - I don't have the whole list in front of me right now but you know what I mean". Tsarnaev: "I'm a Muslim. We are also known as "The Religion of Peace". You can look it up on Google." FBI Agent: "Alrighty then, I think that about wraps it up. You're free to go". Tsarnaev: "Chav a nice day, my friend".

...from a "foreign country", in that it did not follow up with surveillance. What did they think, that he would be so grateful to be in the US that he would not dream of attacking it? Does that foreign country have a track record of giving frivolous information? A US official made an odd statement a couple days ago that the foreign country did not follow up (implying that was the reason the FBI did not, as well). So my question is, why did the FBI not follow up, because I hardly think the onus is on the supplier of the tip to follow up.

we need a stronger government

I think I know you too. Blessings, Scott
