Jihad was the reason and nearly all Americans know this, all except our president. What does this say as to the effectiveness of America's in-country terror watch.

So,  who is Michael Mukasey?   He is the federal judge who presided in the five year,  “blind sheik” trial,   back in the 90’s  (the first bombing of the trade center).  After reading his article in the Wall Street Journal,  one wonders why Obama continues to follow the liberal script, right down to the dotting of the "i's,  as he plays down the obvious concerning the Boston bombings. One thing for certain,  he is one of the last politicians to come to the table with regard to assessing reasonably placed blame.

Michael B. Mukasey / Wall Street Journal:

Make No Mistake, It Was Jihad  —  Let's hope the administration gets over its reluctance to recognize attacks on the U.S. for what they are.  —  If your concern about the threat posed by the Tsarnaev brothers is limited to assuring that they will never be in a position to repeat their grisly acts, rest easy.

The very important question remaining is this:  does his timidity,  in this regard,  reflect a less than critical/holistic  involvement in the war against Muslim/Jihadist terror?  

Clearly,  we know less about terrorist plans than we did before 2008,  due to Obama's decision to kill known terrorists rather than work a plan to capture and interrogate.  We simply do not do not interrogate terrorist's captured on the battlefield.   

His unannounced policies (refusing to hand over certain emails) of extended "fairness" to Muslims,  has contributed to the delay of the Fort Hood killer's trial,  a delay that has postponed this slam dunk conviction  for three and half years.  Apparently there is a fine line,  within this Administration,  between "silly"  and "stupid."     

Another issue  that may pre-date Obama's presidency,  finds that all accused and convicted terrorists in this country,  were in this country on expired work visa's with no one searching for them before their particular criminal involvement.

Conclusion:  the first major terror event since 2001 has occurred on Obama's watch and may very well indicate a systemic failure within this Administration.   Make no mistake,  the Boston bombing was jihad,  and Obama must bear some responsibility for this event,  just a George Bush would have been held responsible, had this happened on his watch   . . . . . . . .   there are reasons why nothing like this took place under Bush but did under Obama,  and we need to fix those issues.
