Boston Bombing

Cory:

Aren't you also making an assumption that someone in the investigation would not blow the whistle if something was being concocted by the government? Or, an assumption that guys who are in law enforcement obey their orders without moral scruples? Another assumption you are making is that all of the LEA guys involved in the Newton thing are anti-gun and all would willingly lie or deceive in the investigation to lend credence to more anti-gun legislation. That stuff is way too complicated to ensure success of a cover up or conspiracy. Too many variables for it to succeed.
I'm making the assumption that it's possible. How many times in history has organized crime infiltrated the local PD? That conspiracy has happened many times in our history. If that conspiracy is very possible, then why is it not possible in Newtown?

You claim we are being lied to. Therefore you must have some ideas or notions about the lies. What are they?
[COLOR="red"]I could get into this but the fact is I could present you all the facts in the world and not persuade you. The only thing that will convince you is allowing you to go find the truth for yourself. I would only suggest you look at the facts from a big picture perspective and not quarantine them to the individual incident.
And more importantly Bwaites is correct, we've highjacked this thread enough and need to get to the issue at hand the Boston attack.[/COLOR]

As for actors portraying parents. Of all the things that are the easiest to disprove, it would be someone getting on TV lying about being a parent of one of the kids that was killed. The left doesn't need that type of lie to succeed in banning guns so why risk their credibility?

I am not sure who did the bombing at the Marathon. It has all the hallmarks of Islamic jihadists as it killed innocent people and terrorists want to inflict terror on the public, not necessarily the government. However, it also has the markings of anarchists (both left and right) as it is on tax and Patriots day.
I completely agree.

Either way, a huge group of people in a public place that stretches for 26 miles is an ideal target.

I believe this was a deliberate, well planned, and well executed operation. Too many things happened well for it to be fly by night 'Allah Willing' type of thing. The bombers got through the cordons, placed the bombs without being seen, and then detonated them in a coordinated effort. And, most telling is that the bombs actually went off, and did so with enough force to kill and savagely maim people.

This was no target of opportunity from my perspective.
[COLOR="red"]Too many things did happen well, unfortunately. However, it could of been much worse. Multiple bombs that were planted never went off, Thank God! The bombs that were made, while effective, they were relatively poorly constructed. They seemed to have been construct in a hasty manner using materials that were easy to acquire in a short amount of time. That's why I believe it was target of opportunity attack. I do believe if it was a cell planted in boston they would have planned multiple attacks in detail, but only on paper. The individuals would could of had full understanding of what would need to be done well in advance. I'm suggesting they were given the green light to proceed with a short window to prepare.
These IEDs had all the markings of an IED used in Iraq and Afghanistan, which were Engineered and funded by Iran. If this was a jihadist attack IMO Iran was the key player. However, it'll be a trail a mile long that'll be needed to link them.[/COLOR]

I hope you don't mind, but I chose to write my response in your quote. I wrote in red to mark it.
