Tom Brokaw Making Asinine Statements About The Boston Bombings...

Simply Because You are Out Of The Spotlight Tom Brokaw… You Do not Have License To Make Asinine Statements About The Boston Bombings

Tom Brokaw has been a newsman for a long time and used to be the well paid mouth-piece for NBC nightly news, whose reputation has been malignantly compromised by its sister station, MSNBC, the modern version of Pravda or one of the English speaking versions of Al Jazeera. Forget about any of the NBC stations giving you any objective news about their secular messiah, President Obama… locally or nationally, but, apparently, MSNBC, where Brokaw is an elder statesman opining on the issues of the day is again seeking the limelight by engaging in Political Correctness speculating and making bogus, spurious comparisons to our drone program for one of the reasons why the two brothers bombed the Boston Marathon.

In the same common sense, non-politically-correctness-vein, if there is anyone down at the Pentagon deliberately planning to kill children in Afghanistan or anywhere in the Muslim world, via our drone strikes targeting terrorists, he or she should be prosecuted with extreme prejudice. Perhaps, it is my legal training, but should not there be an element of ‘intent’ involved when Tom Brokaw and other left leaning America haters spew this nonsense?

Let me get this, there are soldiers who have served honorably in the respective war theatres of Afghanistan and Iraq and who are catching hell financially now that they are back in civilian life, while these two bombers were economically living better than they are. Yet, these bombers, with all the largess America offered them as immigrants, deliberately placed bombs in the presence of children, knowing that these children would die, and, indeed, an eight-year-old-boy, among others, tragically did just that.

I supposed to Tom Brokaw that when the boys and girls down at the Pentagon planned our drone strikes, and, yes, children and civilians sometimes do die, that we are nonchalant and do so cavalierly. This bogus moral equivalence makes Liberals like Tom Brokaw feels good, without thinking of the lethal consequences they do to our geo-policies… but as long as Brokaw can say anything, no matter how silly, as long as he is looked upon as the elder bespectacled sage, it is ok.

As one pundit puts it, I wonder where were our drones that supposedly, deliberately, target innocent Muslim children before the terrorist bombings that preceded 911: the Khobar Towers; the USS Cole; the embassies in East Africa; and the first World-Trade-Centre. Now, as a former soldier, I know that the United States military has at its disposal more deadly, lethal, means for killing children, but somehow it chose to use its drones. It is amazing how Tom Brokaw, along with others, does not speak on the cowards that most of the terrorists are when they hide among their wives and families, hoping that this would prolong their lives....

I have been writing for years that nothing reported on MSNBC surprises me anymore - I swear that I once heard one of the MSNBC’s reporters, its White House Chief Correspondent, ChucK Todd, stood by without offering any follow-up questions, while he was interviewing a Muslim who said that it was ok to kill those who insulted the Prophet Muhammad. I have a feeling that Mr. Brokaw was still smarting over the rejection of the gun legislation that was recently voted down and leaving many of the loons on the Left bereft… anytime now, I expect to hear MSNBC, parroting the White House ‘talking points…’ declaring that there should be a ban on pressure cookers because they were used to carry out the Boston bombings.
