All three cable networks dedicated droves of airtime Tuesday evening to the Istanbul terrorist attack and on two occasions, MSNBCs Hardball host Chris Matthews wondered how much brains does it take for someone to become a suicide bomber and why do terror attacks always seem to involve bombing instead of something else.
Matthews was speaking to an assembled panel of terrorism experts about five minutes into the program when he cited recent terror attacks ranging from French train in August 2015 to Tuesdays bombings in Istanbul and appropriately wondered if it means theres a pattern to the string of Islamic terror attacks.
From there, however, Matthews blurted out this question: How much brains does it take to pack yourself up with TNT and go running into a crowd and blowing yourself up? What do you mean, sophistication?
Risk management analyst Anthony Roman explained to Matthews that most attacks are coordinated and planned, but Matthews interjected to wonder if suicide was considered brave to which Roman responded that he certainly wouldnt want to do it (but would be in the eyes or radical extremists).
A few minutes later, Matthews introduced an utterly bizarre line of questioning about why terrorists turn to bombs to carry out their heinous acts over any other weapon [emphasis mine]: This was a combination, apparently, we don't have all the information on the at least 28 dead, maybe more. A.P. is reporting many more. At least 100 injured badly, probably....Bombing. What's bombing and terrorism have to do cause it always seems to involve bombing. Is that because its one sure way to blow yourself up, certainly, and the suicide bomb strapped to the body seems to be part of this cult of suicide, of martyrdom, if you will, by their standards.

Why do propagandists always seem to deflect from the root cause?
TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, AGENDA-DRIVEN, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, MEDIA-COMPLICIT, court-sanctioned, ongoing...
Let’s see...Ft. Hood TX, Moore OK, San Bernadino CA, Orlando FL...no bombs. Or are we of the narrative that those were not terrorists attacks?
The morons in the government starting with Omama want to blame everything on guns. But in this case it will not work so now they are upset. Didn’t the terrorists hear that they are suppose to use guns so that the government can blame it on our guns and take them away.
Chris, it is not a matter of brains, it is do you really believe there is a supernatural being called Allah and Muhammad is his prophet. If you do, your a Muslim.
If you believe that, then you want to die in Jihad against us Kafirs (non Muslims) and die killing us and Muslim heretics and apostates, and Muslims who are Infidel collaborators.
Suicide bombing against those groups ensures you will die, and get an immediate heavenly reward from Allah.
If you don't use a bomb, you stand a chance of not getting killed in Jihad like Major Hassan who killed 13 Kafir warriors in Texas but survived the Killings. - Tom
Maybe Chrissy should ask “Why does terrorism always seem to involve MUSLIMS?”
Vastly more bang for the buck, when successfully inserted into the most damaging position that can be achieved under the circumstances.
Think of these suicide bombers as moving delivery systems for highly destructive devices with their own built-in and unjammable guidance systems, operating in a manner that makes their early detection and interception highly unlikely.
In the latter part of WW II, Japan was sending out the Kamikaze pilots, in what was virtually a winged bomb, with the pilot as the guidance system, who could sight in on a target with pinpoint accuracy impossible with the mechanical guidance technology of the time. If the deck gunners did not take the diving suicide plane out quickly enough, the carnage was really terrible aboard ship.
Imagine a dozen of these zeroed in on your ship.
Once the kamikaze took off, there was no such thing as “return to base”. Hard to fight that mindset.
A bit off-topic, but there is a photo of one of the terrorists on Drudge in which he appears to be a demon. He’s hunched over like a humpbacked gargoyle and has those small demon wings. Unreal.
Why does terrorism always involve muslyms? Why does the left always blame and condemn White Christian Republicans?
It doesn’t. Sometimes terrorism is simply converting government resources for political gain by holding a building hostage through instances like sit-ins by elected officials.
Yep, I agree, he’s a fool.
He’s said some dumb things over the years.
At the time of the Philadelphia train derailment, he said that Republicans treat trains the way they treat Hispanics.
At the time of Ted Kennedy’s funeral, he said Obama was the last Kennedy brother.
And we know that he gets the thrill up his leg about Obama.
So is Chris confused about why terrorists use bombs? or does he not want them to use bombs, but some other method of killing? What’s he trying to say here?
There is another Commonality about Terrorism but I just can’t put my finger on it. Hmmmmmmmm...
Maybe they can move to more sophisticated terror techniques, Chris. Like forcing the country to watch your program every night.
Daniel Pearl was all choked up when asked this.
LOL
Bombs kill more people at once, Matthews. You don’ even have to aim. If you want to terrorize, you kill as many people as possible.
I’m trying to grasp why he said something so intrinsically stupid and I can’t fathom it.
Why is a liberal talk show host always a moron?
Other intelligent questions Chrissy can ask:
Why is the sun warm?
Why is water wet?
How do birds fly?
How do boats float?
How am I still on the air?
...For the same reason mass shootings always involve guns..........................
We had the French train in August of 2015. We had Paris, of course November. Last year. Then San Bernardino December of last year. Then Brussels at the airport in March of this year and Orlando, June of this year. Istanbul now, June. Is there any pattern to these? Do they have something to do with geography, opportunity, avenge vengeance? What do we make of this pattern if there is one, or isn't there one and isnt that the heart of terrorism? There is no pattern
There is no pattern????
