Al-Queerda is the current suspect from what they are saying.

That's always the "suspect" - but not always the answer. Have to see on that one. Before blowing up people in retaliation - wouldn't it be best to know where/who the attacks came from beyond assumption? That's the frustration, too - there are no rules of engagement for this kind of attack unless you count "put it where no one will see it.

Anyone else notice when the one bomb went off guy in a yellow "official" vest immediately ran over to the barrier and started snapping pictures? He may have been an office photographer/press for the race - but if he wasn't, that was a strange reaction.

That's the problem. The rules went out the window, a long, long time ago and people are dying.

"The intelligence reports list killings of alleged Afghan insurgents whose organization wasn’t on the U.S. list of terrorist groups at the time of the 9/11 strikes; of suspected members of a Pakistani extremist group that didn’t exist at the time of 9/11; and of unidentified individuals described as “other militants” and “foreign fighters.”

In a response to questions from McClatchy, the White House defended its targeting policies, pointing to previous public statements by senior administration officials that the missile strikes are aimed at al Qaida and associated forces.

Micah Zenko, an expert with the Council on Foreign Relations, a bipartisan foreign policy think tank, who closely follows the target killing program, said McClatchy’s findings indicate that the administration is “misleading the public about the scope of who can legitimately be targeted.”

No one has claimed responsibility, as of yet. There were at least 4 bombs, by the looks so far. 2 went off, bomb squad set off another and then disabled the 4th. 2 dead with 23 injured at last count.

  Two things I find interesting in the reaction to this attack. The first is the immediate publication of a photo of the Pres on the phone - and a press release to the media telling how many people he has talked and that he's directing the response and totally involved and....couldn't help but think "shades of Benghazi". That's the cynic in me, I guess.
  
  But then there's the hilarious reporter at the press conference with the Mass. Gov. who starts his question with "hows come youze guys din't..." and there's a moment of comic relief.
  
  I'll watch a movie or The Voice tonight and check back on the news when there's verified info about this in a day or two.

Reports now say up to 100 injured, several critically.

This is the point in an incident where I don't trust the info much. At the very time something happens - you get the truth of what was seen.

Later you start getting answers. But at this point reporters are filling air time and conjecturing is the name of the game. It's the period of "may have" and "what if" with very little real data.

With that in mind this is from the NY Post.

Now if this is true, this will be the second time a Saudi has attacked and killed U.S. citizens on U.S. soil.

I believe if it were a prevalent terrorist organization like Al Queda, the bomb would have been much more damaging.
This, to me, seems more like small-time crazies.
But, it is scary as hell to think it could have been several pounds of c-4 or, God forbid, a dirty bomb.

This is interesting.

Don't know if it is anything - one of the big complaints for years has been about lack of support or sympathy for victims here by "normal people" who are in Muslim countries.

But maybe this is why - there is nothing openly suspect about the message posted...but immediately others are assuming the worst. Damned if you do - and damned if you don't. Can't have it both ways.

There are several media reports of "a person" being guarded - but the gov said in his announcement that extra police are now at all hospitals and public buildings - he says there is no person of interest.

I've heard nothing about "Saudi" but there was mention of someone badly burned. If you were non-US, in the vicinity and had burns...I can see where you might be considered worth looking at.

a Saudi has

Not sure that's important and I had to think through it. Where a terrorist is from isn't as important as the company he keeps. If a mass murderer is from New York - you don't condemn New York for it.
You don't condemn the town McVeigh came from because most people there are not terrorists. I think that's the case with Saudi - a country where the standard of living is reasonable may be easier to recruit young people from than a country where every moment is spent trying to eat and survive.

And it is conjecture - because we may be repeating or making up facts that may be wrong. The police will share what they choose to share - and that's all we actually know about this incident right now.

I saw a couple images which really struck me: one was the 85, or so, year old lady who was doing the marathon in a wheelchair, being pushed after the explosion and bleeding. The second is of a runner who was being pushed in a wheelchair because his two legs were blown off. That's a very graphic photo with bones and veins sticking out all over. Very sad day.

Yeah, this is HORRIBLE! Over 130 INJURED! I believe over 10 AMPUTATIONS! 2 deaths. And this was DESIGNED to maim! They were low lying IEDs with built in shrapnel. As for giving up rights? In an argument about such things, I often use the idea of BOMBS to illustrate my point. I HOPE it won't become prophetic, but it appears to be WELL on it's way.

Thanks man.. I'm a grown-ass man, and I admit I came close to tearing up about this shit.

It seriously pisses me off.

These people want to kill us for no reason other than being American.

It makes NO SENSE at all.

Yet people who live in feel-good countries like Canada, where NOBODY wants to harm them, or even CARES about them existing, feel the need to chime in & tell me how "disgusting" I am for giving a shit about my country and our citizens????

PISS OFF. If you are that big of a BABY, too SCARED to stand & fight for your country if the time should ever come.. then.. so be it.

But I am an American. WE are AMERICANS.

Our great country was FOUNDED on hell-raisers who were willing to do what was necessary.

If you don't like our country, feel free to stay in your own.

UGH WTF man...........

I SERIOUSLY hope they catch the person(s) responsible for this and publicly execute them.

These days, it seems like public executions are going to be the ONLY way to deter these lunatics.

Harsh? Probably. But the way I see it, an eye for an eye.

We need to stop being so politically correct about everything & start dealing out justice.

You're convicted of a heinous crime & sentenced to death? OK, sentence will be carried out the following business day.

Thanks for saying it all WTG. You are being so much kinder than what I was thinking (and actually typed a few times and blew away) - both to the terrorists and to the US bashers frothing at the mouth (that is a cleaned up version of what i said lol).

so if anybody gets banned or the thread gets deleted, i stand with our country - right or wrong when we often R, IMHO -

....and violence against civilians is especially fricking wrong.

(maybe this is retalation because they say today 'Obama's scud attacks (afgan) are hitting innocent people'. BY ACCIDENT! (umm, shouldn't we b more careful?)

but boston - this was no accident.

anyway, two wrongs or three wrongs do not make a right.

one of the posts i blew away earlier was lets give our energy to the victims instead of having a warrior slug fest.

... but oh well.

'had to laugh to keep from crying'.

had to laugh to keep from crying.

I know dude.. trust me, I know.

I actually sugar-coated my posts as best I could to avoid getting banned.

That was as nicely as I could put it.

However.. if these people who want to run their mouth had seen the footage that myself & Tim had (that he posted about earlier).. they might change their tune.

ESPECIALLY if it took place in their own country.

I'm literally just shaking as I type this. I'm PISSED. I'm hurt. I'm in disbelief.

That's the only way I can even BEGIN to describe how I feel man.

I'm 26 years old, going on 27 this year.. and my eyes are watering like a school girl who received a flower from her first crush. This just seriously tears me apart.

& I don't need little piss-ants coming in here & trying to put me down for having the courage to support my country and our citizens in a time of distress.

I have to get off here for the night, I really do.

I can't take much more of THIS thread, or those damned photos/videos from the blasts popping up on my FB feed before I just shoot my laptop.

I'm going to make some food with my wife & try to make sense of this.

Nite all.. stay safe out there & GOD BLESS AMERICA.
