@mazinmelegy But it is not, in fact, the so-called Jihad we're supposed to be fighting. Or if it is, then we've got really big problems.2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -

@mazinmelegy I'm noting that there's big variance among reports whether motive anti-Afgh Iraq wars or Islamic extremism.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel Yeah we'll have to hear from him about it. If motive is opposition to death, then killing is a strange way to protest.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel Didn't go to Iraq bc of 9/11. Went to Afghanistan to destroy Taliban. But your point isn't lost on me.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@mazinmelegy Right. THe sloppiness in reports on motive (admitting that Tamerlan prolly different than Dzh) obscure real motive.
