THE TSARNAEV BROTHERS – WHOSE BITCHES WERE THEY ANYWAY?

This FBI press release about Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev (dead) and his brother Dzhokhar (captured) has me scratching my head:

Once the FBI learned the identities of the two brothers today, the FBI reviewed its records and determined that in early 2011, a foreign government asked the FBI for information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The request stated that it was based on information that he was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country’s region to join unspecified underground groups.

 In response to this 2011 request, the FBI checked U.S. government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history. The FBI also interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government.

Okay, any basic understanding of Russian history will make you figure the “Foreign government” mentioned is Russia, who was likely ready to drop a press bomb of its own if the US didn’t step-up with a few more facts. I added the press release to statements from the Mr. and Ms. Tsarnaev, and arrived at a few observations of my own:

• Tamerlan has been on the terrorist radar screen of the US AND Russia for a few years with the former – uh, supposedly – telling Tamerlan in front of his Father  “We know what sites you are on, we know where you are calling, we know everything about you.”
• The last point is important when you recall how cats with Arab last names were arbitrarily rounded up and shipped to Gitmo as well as other butt-rape detention sites since September 11 with a helluva lot less evidence of terrorist connections. Why didn’t the FBI detain Tamerlan in 2011?
• The following year, Tamerlan traveled to that “foreign government” – the same place whose agents suspected that Tamerlan was up to ill activity. Why didn’t the Russians arrest him as soon as he got off the plane? Instead the dude enjoyed a SIX-MONTH STAY.
• While we’re strolling down this reasoning path, why was Tamerlan allowed back in the US after his Russian vacation?
• Should we believe NO ONE watched Tamerlan between 2011 and last Monday’s bombing?
• Or should we believe the Tsarnaev brothers were watched, but…?

My observations lead to the most obvious question about the Tsarnaev Brothers: whose bitches were they?
