Obama: "We cannot fully know" motive of Ft. Hood shooter; in address on killings, president....
Washington Examiner ^ | November 7, 2009 | Byron York

Posted on 11/07/2009 5:27:53 AM PST by gusopol3

President Obama says "we cannot fully know" what led Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan to kill 13 people and wound 38 others at Fort Hood, Texas Thursday.

Hasan reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before the killings, wrote Internet postings justifying Muslim suicide bombings, considered U.S. forces the enemy, and opposed American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as wars on Islam. His rampage at Ft. Hood has the markings of an act of Islamic terrorism.

But in his weekly address, Obama says, "We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing."

He’s alive. How about we load him up with sodium pentathol and ASK HIM what his motives were.

I'm down for that.

I'm actually elated he's alive. Now transferred to a military hospital, soon to be transferred to Leavenworth. The bad guys in Leavenworth may be criminals, but even they hate traitors. No problem at all to deep-six him in solitary hell for the next 40 years of his miserable life while the Army gets around to trying him. Hanging's too good for him. The lowlife.

Obama says,
"We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing."


"No terrorism was involved.
So hurry up, move along now."

impossible standard (”fully”) and implies that short of that, we cannot make any judgments

That's a great point; even in a criminal legal proceeding the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt. " So the answer to Obama is "we do know beyond a reasonable doubt."

Oh yes there are, but the Secret service would be at a persons door if they were ever spoken.

I think Obama should step up to the plate on this and send a real message to America.

He should issue right now a Full presidential pardon for this man and tell us all that he did so because we caused his actions at Ft. Hood.

I am sure that the American people will understand his point of view in taking such a bold step towards peace with Islam.

We may not know his motive, but we do know in his own mind he was intentionally and overtly committing a planned terrorist attack.

Whether acting alone or part of a cell, he intentionally and overtly committed this planned terrorist attack.

No matter how much ‘victim-hood’ and sentimentality is given him for cover, he intentionally and overtly committed this planned terrorist attack.

Conclusive fact: He intentionally and overtly committed this planned act of terrorism.

“We can not fully know”. True statement. We never “fully know” why anyone does anything. We don’t need to. Many things are self evident. Like this example of muslim terrorism. We don’t need to “fully know” what drove this scumbag. We do know that his muslim “faith” drove him to a substantial degree, and that’s good enough for me.

Golly Gee, Mr. President. Thanks for clearing this up for us stupid gun toting, bible-thumpers. We thought that a Muslin known to be sympathetic to our enemies and shouting “Allahu Akbar!” while ruthlessly killing American soldiers maybe something called JIHD. WTF would we do without your genius leadership.

Contrast that to “The Cambridge Police were stupid” in Obama’s rush to judgement in the Gates bust.

“we cannot fully know”
obviously a lie, but it’s really a signal to other members of the party of death and their associates in the media to follow the party line and refuse to acknowledge the obvious: that this was a terrorist attack carried out under the strict orders of the death cult handbook.

His family says we can know because he hired a lawyer to get out of 'your' military. HELLO!!!!
