That would be as silly as me saying the shooters were unwittingly a part of a Neo-Con conspiracy...

to strike fear in the American people's hearts against bringing in Syrian Refugee (especially those with children), sell even more guns, armored vehicles, etc and finally *gasps for breath* force President Obama to engage in war in Syria.
