I'm unclear how the administration is going to blame GWB for the failure of FBI & CIA to catch these bombers before the fact, given Russia twice warned about them. I suspect they won't have to. Just look at all of the atrocities this administration has committed over the past four years -- Fast and Furious and Benghazi being the most recent major ones. Conservative newspeople, and the 10% of Americans who are paying attention, become livid and wonder what the repercussions are going to be, and a handful of congressmen demand explanations, or hearings are held. And then what happens? The other 'newspeople' (i.e., those in the mainstream media who simply pretend to be news disseminators), and the 90% of Americans who are more interested in the winner of this year's American Idol, simply go on their way as if no crimes have been committed. The furor dies down and the victims, dead or harmed in some other way, are simply forgotten by the majority of their countrymen. There may be some short-term stink about the facts surrounding the killings/maimings last week, but that, too, will die down, given sufficient time. I guarantee that, if you stop some random 'men on the street' in any major city or small town in America tomorrow, and ask them what they think of the suspicious circumstances/intelligence and security incompetence surrounding the two bombers, or the questions that still remain regarding the Saudi national who was originally detained, more than half of them will look at you with a vapid stare, unaware of most of what you are talking about. Combine that kind of ignorance of what their government is doing (that it shouldn't), or isn't doing (that it should), with the fact that the mainstream media are in bed with this administration, and our public and higher education systems are, for the most part, indoctrinating our young people to believe that left is good and right is bad, and it's difficult to see a whole lot of brightness over the horizon.
