Unless you have
been hibernating in a cave somewhere deep in the forest, you have heard a
plethora of news stories about the horrific blasts in Boston, MA on Patriot’s
Day which happens to be the same day of the world famous Boston Marathon. Just
a little recap, for those who have been in a cave, there were two explosions
around 3:00pm in Boston Monday. The explosions took place close to a block
apart near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Eight year old, Martin
Richard, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, and 23-year-old Lingzi Lu died in the
bombing that also maimed and injured at least 170 more people. This is no doubt
an act of terrorism.
As information becomes available, news
stations, bloggers, and reporters do their best to keep everyone up to date. Not
long after the heinous act, the FBI identified a person from Saudi Arabia as a person
of interest. They described him as a 20 year-old Saudi-national. Reporters and camera
operators followed the FBI to the apartment of the ‘person of interest’ and
watched as they carried out numerous brown paper sacks of what is believed to
be evidence in the terrible crime. Any normal person would automatically think
they must have some pretty good intelligence to be taking things from that person’s
dwelling place, right?
Not so fast, the
FBI later came out and said the Saudi national was no longer a person of
interest. They were back to ground zero of finding the person or group of
persons responsible for this atrocity. So, why then did President Obama call an
unscheduled meeting with the Prince of Saudi Arabia? The story from Reuters
says he met with the Prince to discuss Syria. Are we, the American people, naïve
enough to buy that story? The Syrian civil conflict has been going for almost
two years and now our leader wants to talk to the Prince of Saudi Arabia. If
that has you scratching your head, then something even more troubling is that
the 20 year-old Saudi national who was the FBI’s first person of interest is
now scheduled for deportation back to Saudi Arabia.
What does the 20
year-old Saudi national know? What did the FBI carry out of his apartment? Who
is he? Evidently, he is connected to some high ranking Saudi dignitaries. Will
our leader allow a person who might know all there is to know about one of the worst
acts of terrorism on US soil since 9/11? My answer is yes, yes he will.
Regardless of all the ostentatious rhetoric coming from our President, he will
serve himself before he serves us.
