McClatchy Newspapers Washington Bureau notes with some glee that the young lad whose cherubic 8th grade picture we continue to see over the story of how he planted the Boston bomb, is talking to FBI agents from his hospital bed.
What especially seems to warm the cockles of their heart is that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev tells the agents that he and his brother “were driven to the attack by jihadist radicalism sparked by the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in which thousands of Muslims have died”.
Who says the brothers Tsarnaev don’t read the papers and follow the utterances of our president?
There’s young Dzhokhar, his body shredded by gunshot wounds, barely alive, still having the presence of mind to blame it all on George Bush. If he recovers, he may serve some time in a prison, but for him the good news is that, by laying blame appropriately,having won the admiration of the progressive community, Columbia University may be waiting with an offer of a professorship. After all, by then, as a former Secretary of State once told Congress, “what difference does it make?”. DLH
