TERROR IN MOSCOW – AT 7:40 A.M. ET:  There has been a new terror attack in the heart of Moscow.  From The New York Times:

MOSCOW — Female suicide bombers set off huge explosions during rush hour Monday morning in two subway stations in central Moscow, officials said, killing at least 35 people and raising fears that the Muslim insurgency in southern Russia was once again being brought to the country’s heart.

COMMENT:  President Obama has denounced the attack.  Isn't that precious?  I'm sure his ringing statement will deter the next one.

Once again we're reminded how vulnerable we are to a few determined terrorists, brainwashed in jihadism.  This attack killed at least 35.  It used conventional explosives.  Think ten years down the line, and what terror groups might possess.

Oh, by the way, Obama's statement reads as follows:

"The American people stand united with the people of Russia in opposition to violent extremism and heinous terrorist attacks that demonstrate such disregard for human life, and we condemn these outrageous acts."

Notice that there is no assignment of blame, no condemnation of jihadism.  It's just your usual generic terrorist attack.  Pretty typical of this new Washington crowd.
