So true. I may be mistaken but if memory serves, the FBI’s latitude to pursue or not pursue terrorist leads like this islamic murderer is limited by guidelines and specific directives of the DoJ. That would place fault on the shoulders of the administration and DoJ. Just as expected, no?

FBI does not look good on the Marathon Bombing. They were warned by the Russians that the older brother was involved with a Radical Islamic cleric in Chechnya. The older brother made multiple trips to Russia, presumably Dagestan, which is right next door to Chechnya.

FBI agents interviewed him and his family. The concluded he was not a threat, apparently.

This was only about 2 years ago.

Here’s the kicker. When the bombs went off, and the pics of them in the crowd were made public, apparently no one in the FBI compared those photos to their interview notes and passport photos from a PREVIOUS TERRORIST INVESTIGATION conducted only 2 years earlier.

“Do you know who these men are?”

The FBI did. Or SHOULD have.

Obozo has made America a punching dummy for terrorists. Course they do have the same goal.

Pray for America to Wake Up

Obama asleep at the switch

This is the way I see it

Obama is behind the wheel of a nitros injected hotrod and smoking meth while playing chicken with a 300 foot cliff.

Excerpt:

A few (five we are aware of) of Obama’s closest friends live there Imad Husain (former college roomate 1979-80), Ali Hassan Chandio (Occidental College), Wahid Hamid (Occidental College), Sohale Siddiqi (New York – Columbia College). Obama visited there numerous times. Obama maintains close personal 30+ year connections with Pakistani friends (they attended his wedding 1992, and campaign for him 2007-08). Obama’s mom worked and lived there from 1987 to 1992. Joe Biden has a connection there. Obama personally knows the former President of Pakistan Muhammad Mian Soomro, and indeed stayed at his house during a summer visit there in 1981 and still maintains a 30+ year friendship with him. So lets look at this angle a little deeper.

Most Pakistanis seem to like President Barack Obama. However, for most, President Obama’s “Pakistan Connections” were limited to (a) his rather strong words about Pakistan, including about sending troops into Pakistan, and (b) his choice of Vice President Joseph Biden, who has a long and deep interest in foreign affairs, including Pakistan. Most Pakistanis were/are not very fond of the first of these connections. The second connection they like, especially because Senator Biden was the key architect of a very generous and quite sensible support package for Pakistan./

Very good article above will tell you why Obama MUST NOT be trusted! His Pakistani friendships run deep from college til now.

An excellent post.

And I’m sure any post-mortem Fedgov investigations will be just as effective as the Benghazi inquiry.....

I wish that Rep. King would reveal the FBI interview of Terrorist Brother #1, and the rationale for not re-interviewing him upon his return to USA.

Obama doesn’t give a f**k. He’s too busy planning his next vacation.

What’s interesting is that this information came out, when it should have been the first thing to have been buried. What’s up?

Excellent point. Perhaps we should dissolve the FBI and
just use Reddit and Twitter.

Purple lips could give the $savings to the muzzie bro’hood.

One Boston FBI agent was working hand-in-glove with Whitey Bulger for years. Maybe his colleagues aren’t necessarily the most competent or conscientious people you could imagine.

I really can’t blame the FBI guys. Barry and Janet have been putting a lot of pressure on them to keep a close eye on those pesky TEA party types.

What's better than not letting a crisis go to waste?

Letting a crisis take place.

"Obama asleep at the switch"

He's wide-awke at the switch; don't kid yourself. He/Valerie knows exactly what he's doing.

Also, does anyone know if DHS had the info that the
Russian gov’t gave to the FBI? That Gorelick wall still up?
