George W. Bush responsible for Boston Marathon bombings?

For all the repukes blaming Obama and the FBI, including some trolls on this board, you can apply similar logic to Bush. The family was allowed to immigrate to the USA in 2002. Since Bush was President at that time, it must be his fault.

Also, if the FBI dropped the ball with the 2011 investigation and this dude was so bad according to the Russians, why the hell did the damn Russians allow him back into their country in 2012 and do nothing about the dude while he was there?

As usual the repukes are gearing up with their lies and hypocrisy. Every single bad thing that happened to our country under Bush was the fault of someone other than Bush. Every single bad thing that happened to our country under Obama is the fault of Obama. There are even some right wing nuts blaming the Texas fertilizer explosion on Obama. If Obama discovered a cure for Cancer, the repukes would say the $5.00 pill to cure the disease was too expensive.

by the Bush Justice Department (that comprises the immigration service). As political asylum seekers they had to make a case of having a well-founded and reasonable fear of persecution. I've never read a typical application for political asylum from ethnic Chechyans, whether they typically claim persecution from Russian authorities or fear from their own religious fundamentalists, or both. It might make for interesting reading to see what they went through and what they claimed as reasons to be admitted to the U.S.
