MAKHACHKALA, Russia - The father of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers said he was struggling to believe his sons were behind the twin blasts that killed three and injured more than 170.

“I’m planning to find the truth, justice,” said Anzor Tsarnaev during an interview at his home in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan. "I want facts, proof that this is all original because otherwise, anything could be set up."

DEBKA had an article a few days back saying we (CIA?) recruited them to infilltrate al-queda and they turned on us (”double-agents”)....I think that is a highly likely scenario considering the free reign they were apperently given.

I thought the parents were living in the US up until a year or so ago?

“They are gentle, like girls, they as soft in their character – soft,”

Girly men? Light in the loafers? mohammed would not be pleased.

This is an about face from his first interview when he came this close to admitting they'd done it and asked them to turn themselves in.

If you had not left your two sons alone and simply were a part of their lives, you might have gotten some idea what they were getting into and put a stop to it. You were absent and did not perform your paternal responsibilities.

I suspect he's the one who led them down this road to radical islam and jihad.

What self-respecting male would deliberately describe his sons in such a way?

Taqqiya (albeit a ham-handed attempt).

Yep, and it’s an insult to us. Given the fecklessness of our government, I doubt they could mount a successful panty raid.

If you are a Muslim it would make you proud.

You forget the animals we are dealing with.

Dagestan is 71% Mozlem. I wish I had the links to show it, but I found it very, very interesting that the younger bomber met with a friend the day after the bombings (it was an article here), the friend’s name begins with “B”. They talked about the bombings and the younger bomber said “these bombings happen all the time in Afghanistan and Iraq”.

The odd thing is in an artcle about the older bomber’s trip to Dagestan (again, I have no idea where the article is, linked somehwere here, I’m sure) some reporter went there very recently and talked to locals. A local man is quoted as saying the exact same thing - Something like “Why are Americans so upsetet - such bombings occur daily here and in A’stan and Iraq”.

So I think this talking point is important. Tamarlan spent some time in Dagestan supposedly helping his father remodel an apartment, but was seen in teh local radical mosque 6 times, meeting with a local radical Mozlem.

I also think (saw the headline this AM) that the younger bomber’s claim that they learned how to make bombs on the interent is a total lie, either by the y.b. or the investigatos. If the investigators are making it up, I would assume that is to keep the other members of the cell or ones like it thinking that nothing is known about them.

If you find it too scary to conceive, then you are among the ranks of weakminded fools who are half the reason why our governnment is now basically an arm of Islamic jihad.

Note my comment above about Tamarlan’s visit to Dagestan, where his father lives.

He went there to learn up on jihad, no dobut about ti, and his father knows it.

I am sure the CIA would not hire a 17 yr old. Two years ago the young one was only 17. And the older onee was an unstable nutcase even then, and was smoking pot and living the infidel life until just a few years ago, turned radical in IIRC 2009.

Of course I have no idea how/why/what the CIA does.

We can hope that's the case but the FBI, DHS and ICE are all looking dumb and dumber by the minute.

I know that part of the CIA hiring process involves extensive psych testing to establish stability. Doubtful many 17 year olds could pass that.
