Boston bombing

So.  My thoughts just in case you're interested.  If you're reading this it's possible you are so I will continue. 

My thoughts before I read the HuffPost article  were quite cynical.  I wondered about the huge base called Camp Bondsteel  in Kosovo and how close it was to Chechnya where the suspects are from and, once I placed the geography, whether or not it has an airfield and who controls the airspace over the Black Sea.  And whether or not the geniuses at the Pentagon were cooking up more shit that will make the whole damn planet hate US foreign policy even more than they already do. 

From the Wikipedia photo it doesn't look like it has an airfield, and I hope that with one suspect dead and the other soon to be caught, that this remains a police matter, and those investigations do not lead outside the US. 

Although I am disappointed that Obama has continued US military (and international mercenary) involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan I believe he is much more level headed than Bush was and won't turn this into another international clusterfuck.
