Krauthammer on Manchester Bombing: If this Was a Terror Attack then the Timing May Not Be Accidental

‘for the fact that he makes the speech in Saudi Arabia and was able to get a kind of commitment from the Saudis and other Muslim nations to actually stand up against this — ‘

EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: “I think speaking plainly is very important. Manchester’s had IRA attacks in the past. You’ve got histories of other terror organizations in the past, but this is not the Red Brigades. If it is an act of terror, overwhelmingly likely it will be another act of Islamist terror. We had that now month after month in every corner of the world. That is the threat. It’s good to have a president who not only speaks plainly about it but who did it and addressed 50 Arab and Muslim nations in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia has a pretty sorry history of spreading radical elements in Islam, of supporting the Madrasas which have preached hatred for the West, for Christians and Jews and others. So for the fact that he makes this speech in Saudi Arabia and is able to get a kind of commitment from the Saudis and other Muslim nations to actually stand up against this now and take steps against it, I think is important. So I think that is an important step. And if you believe that this was a terror attack, then I think perhaps the timing was not accidental.”
