Comments on: Coincidence? http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/10171.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

They have zero credibility on national security and they know that if an attack occurs the electorate will blame them for not taking security seriously. That is why they didn't actually undo any of Bush's security measures and I that is why they are taking such pains to cast Major Hasan's attack as apolitical. If its seen as a terrorist attack then that means Obama will be blamed. It's the President's job to protect against political violence but it isn't his job to protect against apolitical nutjob violence. The timing of the raids above could very well be the result of political pressure from the administrations seeking to prove their dedication to security.

Sad to say, it's not impossible to deliberately wait on events. Get everything in order, then hold off until the next heinous act - honor killing, suicide bombing, whatever. It's rarely more than a few months. Maybe for some good press, maybe also because after the murders it’s harder to persuasively oppose. Sad to say, it’s not impossible to deliberately wait on events.
