Just let me throw this thought out. If you were an Islamic terrorist, why would you attack in the United States just when they are planning to take Syrian refugees (or maybe beginning to debate the issue)? Wouldn’t that sort of hurt your overall strategy?

You would think so, but, for people who really understand the left, it actually makes sense. They know that people on the left live by two rules: 1) make everything political, and spin everything to cast blame on the right, no matter how egregious the lie; and 2) never, ever, admit you are wrong, or even hint that you share .01% of the blame for any issue that comes up. The left has positioned themselves as the defender of "refugees". If these invaders/refugees commit violence, they will do everything they can to spin it such that the blame lies with "the right wing." And second, they will never admit that they were wrong. In this case, anything other than doubling down on their current position would be a tacit admission of guilt. As a result, look for the left to be even more "pro-refugee" than they were.

The net result is that, while we don't yet know what happened, it is strategically sound for Islamic terrorists do this, at this time (in fact, it is even more important than usual, from their perspective). This is because it forces the left into a corner. And if they are stupid, ignorant, malevolent, and unethical, under normal circumstances, when backed into a corner, they turn evil.

I remember HEARING the first report on the Oklahoma City bombing. Middle Eastern second suspect, then BOOM, gone down the memory hole.
