The deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon that killed at least two and injured more than 80 is believed to be an act of terrorism, senior White House officials told Fox News.
Two explosions tore through the finish line of the world-famous race just before 3 p.m., going off simultaneously as throngs of onlookers watched runners complete the 26.2-mile trek. The timing of the blasts immediately sparked suspicions of a deliberate act. “When multiple devices go off, that’s an act of terrorism,” a senior administration official told Fox News, just moments after President Obama delivered a statement to the nation and did not use the word “terror.”
The official stressed that with details still coming in, it is unclear whether a foreign entity like Al Qaeda was behind it or whether it was home-grown terrorism. As a result, this official said the administration did not want the president to get out too far ahead and directly call it “terror.”

The Islamofacists call it an “ overseas contingency operation”
But, at this point, what difference does it make?
Did you read the last line of my post. i was commenting on the style, but said if it were 30 years ago I’d look at the IRA. As for the muzzies, every big city in America has some collection of Muslims. This was hardly the work of a bunch of local muzzies getting together after Friday prayers. This was planned and carried out with professional panache. Now if I was looking in Boston, I might look for a local muzzie, or i might look for some balding red haired boyo living in Southie who can pass easily for a local wearing his Bosox cap and who just might have some experience with this sort of stuff when he was learning the trade back in Derry and is hiring out to the highest bidders.
The WH said this NOT BO, he’ll wait to see what the reaction is and if it look good he’ll take all the credit.
BO will say: “We inherited terrorism and stuff.”
SOB is hoping the perp is some sort of white, gun-owning, Tea-Party type guy. If not, this whole thing will go the way of Fort Hood. (Fort what? Exactly!)
As Savage noted tonight, this is the lamest response of any President to terrorist events. Once again, proving his incompetence.
The time could matter, I have no idea if it went off when the frontrunners began crossing the finish line or later. I also don’t know if any assumption about certain groups being historically better in a marathon still holds water if it ever did. There may be more purpose than is obvious, is all I was trying to point out.
Pull my finger!
