Hello Steve:

If you were an ORDINARY peaceful Pakistani, you'd say CHRISTIANS are terrorists who maim and kill. Why wouldn't he be right? Terror from the sky is TERROR, whether it happens in NY City, or Northern Waziristan.

You DO think we're a Christian nation, don't you? Why shouldn't HE think the same thing?

Is there an echo in here?

Hello again, Steve:

I noticed you didn't answer the first time, so I thought I'd try again. You know me... Persistent.

If the American military were doing it in the name of Jesus instead of the US government I could see their point.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev got Mass. welfare benefits | Boston Herald

Unbelievable !

Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned.

State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state's Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev's attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam — was working up to 80 hours a week as a home health aide while Tsarnaev stayed at home.

His wife was doing double time at work while this bum collected welfare and planned his assault .

The whole issue got diverted to religious line and the possible action after the attack is still not there. Russians are willing to act but that's just be waiting till they act. If the guy confess then a case can be filed against his group or organization in the other country with cooperation of their government. Diplomatic measures might already been taken to put pressure on other side.

Yep, taxpayers were funding his jihad.

Hello again,

Yep, taxpayers were funding his jihad.

OMG! We've been HOSED! He was driving on the roads I PAID for too. I wonder if he ate any SUBSIDIZED food that I PAID for.. Do you think he used SUBSIDIZED gasoline that I PAID for? Man, we've not only been attacked, we've been ripped off.

Here's the solution... Let's not let ANYBODY in, and let's make everybody show their ID when they buy gasoline or Micky D's.

Oh yeah, and let's stop welfare too.. Who knows? There might be a couple more out there HOSING us. That'll show those terrorists.

About funding, there are bigger groups involved in terror funding. Not only taxpayer money but investors money misused. An investigation on similar line going on about HSBC group for money laundering. Terror roots are deeper than they appear.

Or we could just say immigrants are not eligible for welfare until they are American citizens.

Russian authorities alerted the US government not once but ``multiple'' times over their concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- including a second time nearly a year after he was first interviewed by FBI agents in Boston -- raising new questions about whether the FBI should have focused more attention on the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, according to US senators briefed on the probe Tuesday.

The FBI has previously said it interviewed Tsarnaev in early 2011 after it was initially contacted by the Russians. After that review, the FBI has said, it determined he did not pose a threat.

In a closed briefing on Tuesday, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee learned that Russia alerted the United States about Tsarnaev in ``multiple contacts'' -- including ``at least once since October 2011,''

I guess we need a fence all around the whole freakin' country??

[Wondergirl]

And what would/could the FBI have done? Until someone commits a crime, the person of interest can't be jailed or removed from society somehow.

[tomder55]

Are you seriously saying that we have to wait for the bombs to go off before action is taken ?

That seems to be what happens. Mentally ill (et al.) people cannot be jailed or kept from society unless they have done something to show they are a danger to themselves or to others.

[speechlesstx]

Are you saying he was mentally ill and it wasn't his fault he had to blow some people up?

[tomder55]

Umm well I for one think that given the multiple warnings that they dropped the ball on this . Just like they dropped the ball on the 9-11 attacks . This wasn't a case of mentally ill .This was a case of having reasonable suspicion that the guy was up to no good . What did they do ? Dismiss the warning as not credible because it came from the Russians ? The Russians were telling us that the older Tsarnaev brother had radical Islamist links. The FBI has surveilled for much less than that .

Wow! That's a fantastically absurd extrapolation of what I actually said!

I had said "mentally ill (et al.)" to include anyone else else who might be up to no good. So there is suspicion and surveillance. Nothing can really be done about it unless the suspects take some kind of action. Right ?
