The type of improvised explosive devices used in the attack on the Boston Marathon on Monday bear “the hallmark of Al Qaeda,” according to former CIA Counterterrorism Director Larry Johnson. In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Tuesday, Johnson said that the devices used are popular on the India-Pakistan border and are favored by Al Qaeda militants. He was cautious, however, not to link the attacks to foreign-based terror groups.
“It’s important to note that that particular model – that type of explosive has been very popular along the Pakistan-India border,” said Johnson.
He described the type of substances that a militant would put in a pressure cooker IED and said that it was unlikely that the device contained an explosive substance used by professional armed forces.
Matthews asked how difficult it would be for an amateur bomb maker to construct two deadly devices which are timed to go off at approximately the same moment.
“Take your scale of zero – where you can’t even open a door – and ten – where you’re the world’s best bomb maker; this is about a six,” Johnson replied. “This has been a hallmark of Al Qaeda in the past.”(continued)

1: Liberal philosophy says that there is no justification for war/we need to understand our enemies.
2: Obama says we can ‘absorb’ terrorism attacks.
The two go hand in hand and both help destroy America/Capitalism and demoralize any but ardent liberals. We see the admin using terms like workplace violence to poo poo obvious acts of terror and the MSM turns the narrative to anything but Muslims as the source of the attacks.
Folks, a 2 year old can see what is happening here. And the GOP is doing NOTHING but helping the libs with their refusal to even complain about what is going on.
Chrissy is devastated that Johnson didn’t tie this directly to Sarah or the Tea Party.
Agree with what you said - and on top of that -
I can only imagine that Chris Matthews was sorely disappointed to hear that these were probably not constructed by a Baptist Tea Party Member named Billy-Bob who owns a AR-15 and a 15 year old Ford pick-up truck.
I think two common sense solutions would basically prevent most Islamic terrorism on our soil. The first would be to close our unprotected borders, and then stop inviting Muslims into our country as guest. We should have done that after 9/11 regardless of what other actions taken. I know we have allowed a lot Muslim immigrants into the nation since, so there's no telling who's here now. It would still be a good idea, and would be popular with most. Although that excludes our government unfortunately.

The DNC provides the most plausible motive each time they say the Boston Marathon bombing took place because of the sequester.
Whew, my ford pickup is a ‘92! Rusty but trusty.
Well, I was kind of describing myself, except I’m not Baptist and my name isn’t Billy-Bob.
Mathews will continue to sceam “right wing” even after a authenticated video showing a muzzie actually creating and placing bombs surfaces. That nut job of a wanna be, “athourity” on everything, is a demize on America and should be removed along with his “god” Odumbo.
I’ll bet that Tweetie Pie shut *his* microphone down in a hurry.
IIRC, Larry Johnson was behind the “Michelle Obama Whitey Tape” episode. I’m surprised that they have let him back on MSNBC. He and his No Quarter website were a big PUMA blog up to the 2008 election.
Chrissie Matthews is a big Hillary supporter, so maybe he is rehabilitating Johnson in the run-up to 2016.
Interestingly Johnson slams Martin Bashir on No Quarter this week over Bashir’s left-wing rants about Thatcher:

“The passing of Lady Margaret Thatcher, the daughter of a grocer, evoked quite a response from the looney left. While I like to think I am tolerant of genuine differences of opinion, the idiotic gibberings of morons like MSNBC’s Martin Bashir makes me want to toss foreign assholes like him back into the ocean”
