Bombing suspect deserves nothing

| April 30, 2013 7:00 AM

Chuck Hagel, Secretary of Defense:

It seems to me you weren’t terribly bright during confirmation so I guess I should give you a boost here before everyone else figures it out.

You say you didn’t know what the brothers were up to?

Answer: They wanted and did bomb the Boston Marathon and assassinated a cop.

You don’t know what motivated them.

Answer: They hate Americans.

You don’t know if they were associated with other governments or state-sponsored terrorism.

Answer: They are Chechens, one of the most violent state-sponsored terror organizations. Just ask Russia.

Send the survivor to Gitmo. He deserves nothing less and you and the administration need to stop this political correctness stuff and call terror what it is, terror. If that doesn’t feel good, ask the 180 people who felt terror and can articulate it for you.
