POTUS Advisor Gorka Links Manchester bombing to 2013 Killing of British soldier
BLUF: [Daily Caller] As Gorka observed, the Manchester bombing happened on the fourth anniversary of the public killing of Fusilier Lee Rigby on May 22, 2013. Rigby was walking down a street in southeast London when two radical Islamists, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, ran over him with a car before hacking him to death with knives and a cleaver. The killers, who also attempted to behead Rigby, told bystanders who shot video of the attack:

"The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. And this British soldier is one ... By Allah, we swear by the almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone."

#1 The motive? What could have possibly prompted the bastids to act or select this target? Might have been a tea at a neighborhood vicarage, but it wasn't.

Is postulating that a 'POP Concert' with thousands in attendance, might possibly be a 'high value target' for terrorists that difficult ?

Will someone please finally admit we are at war with Islam ?

#2 Is this the young lady who last summer said "I Hate America, I Hate Americans?" Well just maybe she will become a convert to Western values and ideals--we can hope.

Motivation for bombing? We are dealing with rabid, bug nuts jihadists who value death over life.
