When the US was the target of terrorist attacks, everyone else was saying it was our fault for one reason or another.

Now THEY are on the receiving end. Their policies did not protect them.

I wonder what they are saying now?

They are (or will) blame us for clearing our own capital's metro station last week.

Or for some other reason.

Islam is rabies. Anyone infected should be put down like a dog.

Vaccinate!

CNN actually airing NEWS, Fox trying to score anti Trump points. Shameful.

When he called for carpet bombing ISIS he caught hell for that, too.

Belgium’s prime minister Charles Michel confirmed the attack at the airport was carried out by a suicide bomber,

Two metro stations, one suicide bomber.

Rrrrrrrrrrright!

Obama with literally one quick paragraph on Brussels then shifts to Cuba.

CNN does tend to do better on breaking news events, excluding the political angles. Airplane crashes, quakes etc, CNN is hands down much better.

Look at the results of the French and Spanish elections after the bombings there preceding their elections. The message was appeasement, not resistance will bring you peace. It worked, moderate and liberals defeated conservatives.

It worked on euroweenies.

Will it work on Americans?

Obama barely commented on the attacks. I turned on TV, he said something in passing, then on to the glories of Cuban civilization.

Didn't Josef Mengele try that precisely that defense at Nuremberg?

Huh? Mengele wasn't tried at Nuremberg. He got away to Argentina.

Cuba is on Obama's dance card. The Global Socialists need to make Castro a saint of their movement, and having 'normalized' relations with the US is a must.

Consider we fought in Vietnam and environs for over a decade, and we trade with them. Not Cuba. But then, Cuba had missiles pointed at us...

One of my 'kid' memories is drawing circles on the map with my dad on the kitchen table--blast radii. We were in line and could have taken a 'short round' from those missiles. We figured out the way out would be by boat because the land routes would be too contaminated if they were on target.

His masters at Goldman Sachs probably gave him a call within seconds of the attacks.

All is well. His office is near the airport. He was on a bus headed to work after the explosions. Got a call from work sending him home for a few days.

Whew!

Yes.

The actual news reports are pretty good, until the spinmeisters get in the loop.

I maintain that after Kennedy tried to have Castro assassinated, Castro returned the favor.

We wouldn't normalize relations with Cuber as long as Fidel remained in power.

This is bizarre. Fox set this up hastily to look like Cruz is the presumptive nominee. Flash bulbs popping, Cruz going on and on.

You sure Fox set this up?

Were all of the flash bulbs Fox reporters or were there other news organizations there?
