THE JAYVEE SQUAD AT WORK AGAIN

To the New York Times’ credit, this article is in its online edition (I can’t find it in today’s newsstand edition, but that might be because it happened too recently to be included):

The Islamic State claimed a bombing that left at least 80 people dead Saturday at a peaceful demonstration in the Afghan capital of Kabul, raising fears that the group may be extending its reach beyond the country’s eastern pockets, where it generally operates.

 The Afghan Interior Ministry, in a statement, said the attack on thousands of Hazaras, an ethnic minority group staging the protest, had been a suicide mission.
 

The demonstrators had gathered in the west of Kabul to demand that a proposed electricity transmission line be routed through Bamian, a Hazara-dominated province in central Afghanistan.

The Islamic State, in a statement on the group’s Amaq News Agency, claimed the carnage as a “martyrdom attack” on Shiites.

Did this horrific act of terrorism have anything to do with the protest itself?  Very doubtful.

It probably had more to do with the fact that there were a lot of innocent civilians in one place at one time…which seems to be the single most compelling reason for ISIS to stage an attack anywhere.

The more dead and injured, the more gruesome the injuries, the better they like it.

These are the same murdering radical Islamists who Barack Obama sniffingly dismissed as a “jayvee squad” just 2 1/2 years ago, then stood by, did next to nothing (seemingly what Mr. Obama does best),  and watched them become the international terrorist behemoth they now are.

Will Hillary Clinton give us four more years of the same?

What would make you think otherwise?
