just a wild-ass guess. But there are some aspects here that led me to consider it. Patriot's Day is often used by right-wing militias to celebrate their fancied connection with the patriots of 1776. Also, did you know this Marathon was dedicated to the Newtown victims? Did you know a group of Newtown survivors were guests and had seats near the site of the explosion? What bettter way to embarass and humiliate those liberal commies who are trying to take away our guns? And as I mentioned in another post, this attack was about embarassing and humiliating, its a punishment, it has no tactical, strategic, or propaganda value. This reeks of Newtown Truther mentality.

It was Income Tax day, too. The wacko Right seems to think they are the only people in the world who resent paying taxes. And of course, Obama can no longer claim he has protected America from terrorist attacks.

But most important, you would think that some Arabist terror gang would immediately call in and take credit for this attack. There hasn't been a peep out of those guys.

Of course, these are all speculations on my part. After all, the Islamists are not dumb either, what better way to cover your tracks and cover your trail than pretend you are somebody else?

Its still too early to tell yet, and this sort of game is best left to the pros. Not only do they know what they're doing, they know a lot more than we do. They also know more than they're saying.

We're just going to have to wait and find out.
