President a no-show.
He should have gone or he should be on his way today.
Well spoken.
Please pass along to your son my thanks for his service.
My mistake... posted to wrong person.
Thanks, Jeff.
This was a case of Jihad within the ranks, plain and simple, like the case of Sgt. Asan Akbar in 2003.
And of course Hasan was harassed. Making the kind of statements he did against the war and for the enemy in the presence of other soldiers who were either going to war or returning from it ensured that he would be...and I do not blame those soldiers one bit.
The blame falls on Hasan himself and the system that left him, after the reports came in, in that position. He was a treacherous enemy within the ranks and he ultimately went Jihad.
And, again, that’s what it was, Jihad.
This Hasan has been a live one for a long time, even suggestiong that more Muslims should attack and kill us after the Arkansas recruiter was killed.
He should not have been working with any soldiers returning from the war zone or deplying to it. In fact, he should have been discharged from the military altogether IMHO.
Hopefully now he will get the same sentence that Akbar got...and hopefully, unlike Akbar, it will be carried out swiftly.
As to Barack Hussein Obama...he has made clear his own feelings on the war and on our enemies that we are fighting. He will avoid calling this what it is, and he will avoid actually helping our soldiers win this thing. We simplyu MUST neuter this man in 2010 and then run him out on a rail in 2012...and I believe we will.
AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

I completely agree normally but these are US troops and he is, unfortunately, their CiC.
It’s a higher priority for the CinC to twist arms in DC than console mothers and wives at Ft. Hood.
The last thing I want to see is Baraq grandstanding at the funeral of some American soldiers.
Stay in DC.
I don't get the military/civilian distinction, either--he's the President. President Bush flew out to the memorial service at Virginia Tech (if I remember correctly). One hasn't even been scheduled at Ft. Hood, yet.
Now, if Obama blows that off people will have room to criticize.
He didn’t go to Georgia after their floods either.
There are some gift horses we shouldn’t question!!!
One of them was the National Examiner..can’t remember the other one...probably Globe or Enquirer.
Oh, gee - a single tear rolls down my cheek...
When it gets to be too much for him, he's free to resign.
You are not alone. I am praying without ceasing for the fallen and their families. I am also galled beyond belief at the behavior of The Cold One. We will see more of his aloof distancing from the people. And, guess what, it’s more than likely some of those known to these troops and dare I say some of the troops themselves voted for this assinine fool.
