#4 "Update 5:17pm ET: Boston Police say "no arrests have been made...no suspects have been taken into custody." FBI is similarly tight-lipped."

In other words, they're trying desperately to figure out a way to spin that a "Saudi national" is really a white Christian Tea Party member veteran.

#5 When your president goes on a worldwide apology tour, supports radical islamic organizations posing as arab spring orgs, bows to despots, and project weakness, this is the fruit of the labors of his administration.

We can expect more and more of these incidents as we show how dithering and weak we are in the leadership department. The enemy is proactive and we are reactive. The enemy is inside our OODA loop, and we make it easy.

#6 This is just horrible. I so hope that the toll won't go any higher.

But the nasty, cynical bitter-clinger in me wonders who and when the first national news media critter will speculate that it's a Tea Partier who has done it. Maybe we should set up a pool, or something.

Fiesta in San Antonio launches this week - it's about a three-week long festival of events, parades, shows ... you name it, San Antonio does it in the next three weeks. Lots of crowds, partying people, food and jollity. It's going to be a rather more than ordinarily nervous time for law enforcement personnel now.

Wolf Blitzer of CNN has already 'wondered' if it was tied to 'Tax Day'.

#8 Sgt. Mom, you're already too late. Wolf Blitzer and others on CNN have already hinted at that.

#9 TW, Cell service 'shut down' is a little different than 'turned off'. With airspace cleared and two remaining bombs found that didn't go off(!) I wonder if th efirst responders didn't deploy an aerial jammer.

#10 Even though Boston PD is now saying no one is in custody, Fox and Drudge are saying a young Saudi on a student visa that was acting suspicious and injured in the bombing is a person of interest.

#11 Multiple backpacks carried to the site, and another bombing at the JFK library.

Surveillance footage? Why have cameras if no one is looking. Someone carrying multiple backpacks should have peeked someone's curiosity and investigated.

You can just bet your ass there are more of these out there.

AND I do NOT like Obumble saying we will bring them to justice, which smacks of law enforcement. I want a president that says he will KILL who is responsible...for all of George's faults he didn't fiddle around with law enforcement dealing with terrorism.

#12 I have seen reports that the backpack placements were captured on surveillance cameras. I have not heard whether the emplacer was carrying more than one at a time.

#13 Fox - Catherine Herridge is saying there were ball bearing shrapnel and identifiers in the backpack bombs

#14 Not to be entirely dismissed, the riots at GITMO could also be connected.

#15 You guys are acting like Obama wants to make it easy for Saudis to get on jet airplanes or something.
