If this is true, that dad turned him in two years ago, this is on Obama’s hands. He and Clinton are so busy protecting Islam that they failed to protect Americans when given warning. What will their excuse be this time?

The Terror Watch List seems to have an aversion for the “Lone Wolves”, no matter their rabid aggression.

The Russians told us point-blank about the Boston bombers not once but two times and nothing happened to them.

“Two years ago I go to the F.B.I. because my son was doing really bad, O.K.?” he said. “But they check almost two months, they say, ‘He’s O.K., he’s clean, he’s not a terrorist.’ I say O.K.”

He added: “Now they say he is a terrorist. I say O.K.”

But, but, but the initial stories said he wasn’t on any list and he was a ‘Lone Wolf’. I guess the Media knows that the first stories out are the ones that people remember. Too little, too late. Pray America awakens.

An appropriate post tallying the number of attacks, names, places, death toll, etc., since this regime took office.

Waiting.....

Good thing we have a Terror Watch List Eh?...

Exactly.

Until they break a law there is nothing you can do with a citizen terrorist to be.

And you cannot watch them 24/7.

Of course if you are a Clinton there is nothing you can do at all even if they break a law.

We tell Islams to turn in the bad ones and when they do, nothing happens. This is Hillary Clinton’s strategy. it is an EPIC FAIL.

They were warned about the Tsarnaev boys also which they promptly ignored.

Anyone going to/from Afghanistan and Pakistan should be classified as terrorists until proven otherwise. Do people recall that Obama himself spent weeks in Pakistan in 1982? Look at the result.
