Why the Chechen President Released His Statement About the Boston Bombers via Instagram

The country if not half the world is on edge Friday morning after a deadly all-night chase through Cambridge and Watertown left one of the Boston bombing suspects dead and one at large. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old immigrant from Kyrgyzstan, is the suspect on the loose, and his apparent ties with Chechnya are stirring up the region's struggle for attention over the course of the past few decades. The predominantly Muslim region in the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia has been fighting for its independence since the fall of the Soviet Union. It's been a bloody fight, too.

Though it remains unclear if Tsarnaev and his late brother Tamerlan were motivated by the Chechen cause, the Republic of Chechnya suddenly finds itself front and center in the American media. Obviously, Chechnya’s president, Ramzan Kadyrov had to say something. Not so obviously, he chose Instagram as his outlet of choice. After condemning the attacks, Kadyrov says:

Any attempt to draw a connection between Chechnya and Tsarnaevs — if they are guilty — is futile. They were raised in the United States, and their attitudes and beliefs were formed there. It is necessary to seek the roots of this evil in America. The whole world must struggle against terrorism — that we know better than anyone else. We hope for the recovery of all the victims, and we mourn with the Americans.....

He is being smart he doesn’t want to end up like Kadaffi Duck and have cruise, and hell-fire missiles falling from the Chechen sky targeting all those Muslim Islamic terrorists who are living and prepping in his country.

“The country if not half the world”? Methinks this writer overdramatizes a LOT.

[Amberdawn]

Yeah...Obammy did tell Pooty-Poot that he would have more leeway after the election...

[enduserindy]

I thought he was pro-Russian anti terrorist.

So I read the whole source, and I still don’t know the answer “why” the author purports to answer.

“It is necessary to seek the roots of this evil in America.”

Apparently the two terrorists have never even been to chechnya, but they’ve spent a whole lot of their youth in very bluestate Cambridge MA...hmmmmm.

Shhhh my post was written as if Reagan or Bush were President. Obama loves Islamic terrorists as is evident by his on-going actions of supporting Islamic radicals like the Muslim Brotherhood, the terrorists in Libia, the terrorists who killed our Ambassador to Libia who he is protecting and whom he has given hundreds of millions of dollars along with the best weapons America makes.

Obama will do nothing.
