Really? You have some evidence of that?

I also believe in a strong national DEFENSE, especially during these times. I also believe in the word DEFENSE. I don't believe it should be used to invade/attack and exploit other countries or be used to nation build.

So the Post is saying "their sources" tell them that this Saudi National that's a person of interest was tackled running from the scene, had burns on his torso and reportedly said "I thought there were going to be two explosions" and "did anyone die"?

We'll have to see if A.Any of this is actually verifiable and B.If there's any independent evidence to back it up. Since they're now going over this guy's life with a microscope I'd guess they'll know by days end if they've got the right person.

Ok, so if this is tied to a group, country etc what does everyone expect the president to do about it?
Diplomacy,sanctions,military option?

well investigators went to Revere MA, let see what the demographics there are:

"The racial makeup of the city was 62% White, 4.9% Black, 5.6% Asian, 0.4% Native American, 0.025% Pacific Islander, 11.7% from other races, and 3.3% were multiracial. Hispanic or Latino persons were 24.4% of the population."

So yeah, I think it is more likely this is a domestic thing rather than an intnl thing, because really, middle eastern people are not going to go hide on a 62% white neighborhood.

I find it amazing what a fuss the West is making when three civilians die in Boston, while we keep killing many more innocent civilians in Afghanistan etc. all the time, as if those people's lives were less important...

Did I say is was the absolute truth? I said it was "reported". See the difference.

I guess it's safe to say that you are discounting what you are hearing and reading what is being reported about the incident because not of it is the absolute truth, other than the pictures and what witnesses are saying.
