It's now clear, we can thank Bush and Cheney for the Boston bombings [View all]

From CNN:

"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a note in the boat where he was captured, a law enforcement official said.
It said the bombings were retribution for what he called U.S. attacks on Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Thanks again, George. Your horrible decisions and policies continue to haunt us years after your failed presidency "ended."

How many jihadists did you create? how many more people hate America, and are willing to blow themselves up to kill Americans, because you invaded their country and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians? How many Americans have been and will be killed by these haters you created? You created a GENERATION of people in the middle east who hate America. The likelihood that the Boston bombings are the last we've seen of them is not very high. Nice job, George.
