US officials knew about the potential danger of Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, according to a soon-to-be-released Congressional report—but a spelling error led them to miss his frequent flights out to Dagestan for terror training. […]
In March 2011, Russian intelligence agency FSB notified the FBI with concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev and the Tsarnaev family, which had emigrated to Massachusetts nearly ten years earlier. In the letter, FSB included contact information, with addresses and phone numbers, for many of the members of the Tsarnaev family, including Tamerlan and his mother, and warned that Tamerlan was gaining a reputation for associating with violent Islamists. …

This is one reason we really need to keep good relations with Russia. They have much better access to Islamic terror information than we do. It was Obama’s weakness that made Putin move on the Crimea. If Obama had been more like GWB Putin would likely have kept up the nice guy image.
So... The same people who ridiculed a candidate for misspelling a word are now using misspelling as an excuse for preventing mass murder. What’s wrong with this picture ?
At least when Dan Quayle misspelled a word, nobody died.
They were too busy tapping your emails and cell phones.
With all that extra load of data, it was easy for the Tsarnayev’s to slip through any action by Feds.
Tsarnaev wasn't able to go back and forth to Chechnya despite being on terrorist watch lists because of a "spelling error". They really think we are all stupid.
See what you miss when you spend all day sniffing thru IRS records, gun purchases and facebook posts. Even after they were tipped of TWICE by the Russians they couldn’t figure it out.
This isn’t just a misspelling. This is a cover story for incompetence. Russian words can be translated into English in a variety of ways and these people should have been on alert for that.
They didn’t want to figure it out. It was a test of the emergency systems and to see what we the people would tolerate!
Get with the program. Only white gun toting Christian Conservatives are terrorists.

Cunning Russians. They knew that deliberately misspelling the name would completely disable US security agencies and personnel, thus guaranteeing a successful terrorist attack on the US. This definitely proves Putin and the Russians as bad as Obama says they are.
If only this guy were a Tea Party member....
Never mind “r-spect”.
And everyone knows computer search algorithms can't handle phonetic searches... Oh no, wait they can do phonetic searches; Like Google.
It's amazing how willing and vapid the MSM is to buy into this sort of excuse/lie. It's almost as if they are protecting the Regime.
It’s amazing to me that Russia is in bed with the Iranian Islamists.
That reads: "TEA Party" to the Obama spooks.
He was a US asset trying to infiltrate the kooky enemy and ended up flipping, becoming an actual kook. Indirectly he had family ties VERY high up in the CIA.
The FBI executed his Florida MMA buddy cuz they feared he had known of Tsarnaev’s original master, and post-blast that would make it seem to the public and Alex Jones types that the FBI had somehow instigated the Boston bombing.
So they interrogated him and finished up by shooting him in the back of the head.
