WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service Tuesday honoring victims of the Ford Hood shootings, an attack he described as "all the more heartbreaking and all the more despicable" because it occurred on the nation's largest Army post.

He praised those who ended the shootings, which killed 13 and wounded 30 others, and lauded the armed services' diversity — a move designed to calm tensions about the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

This diversity nonsense is going to get Americans killed.

How many Nazis did we have in the military during WW2?

Offhand, I can’t imagine a less appropriate time to praise the diversity of the military.

Of course he will go , that is after his weekend off at camp David .

Is he at church yet or is he still playing golf and his wife having the SS run around for her and the mother in law scrounger.?

Will he do his shout outs and talk fro nearly 3 mins before he mentions the shooting and i bet he will NOT MENTION THE RELIGION EITHER

The troubling aspect of this is that this clown's robots will laud him as a peacemaker.

It saddens me that he will desecrate the hallowed ground of Ft Hood by his very arrogant Islamic presence.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Now, now. Not accepting Nazis as part of our military diversity quilt was just one of many mistakes America has made throughout history.

Diversity = Queers in the Military complete with Pink uniforms uniforms for the Fag "pride"/s Parade.

You wait and see... Obama is working on this as we speak.

We better get ready for the fight and let our weasels know we don't want this or else

Yes, so I’ve heard.
He sounded like he was reading a bedtime story yesterday inflected for drama’s sake.
He is dispicable and showing up for the memorial is too little too late.
It’s just for show and we all know it.

I have to agree with Barack Hussein Obama, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, about military "diversity" on this one. If there had been nothing but mooslims in that building, there is no telling how many more people this Islamopiggy would have murdered before he was taken down.

No.

"Heartbreaking" and "despicable" was the fact that the Commander In Chief took three minutes to thank political hacks and send a "shout out" to a "Congressional Medal of Honor winner" (who isn't) before expressing any sympathy for those killed and wounded in the worst terrorist attack since 9/11.

My mother tried to raise me better... but I HATE that son of a bitch.
(Sorry Mom.)

I hated it when right after 9/11 Bush spoke of islam as a religion of peace. I understood but I hated it.
Now in 2009 there csan be NO doubt of muslims intent, they are either planning to kill us or they are trying to ignore the muslims who are planning to kill us.

I am tired of this,” well MY muslim friends really love America and would never do this”>
Funny that is what all of that pos Hadi( the muzzie who tried to blow up a Dallas skyscraper 3 weeks ago)

Force all those peace loving “ moderate’ muslims to come into the open and do something instead of lying about their real intent.

Easy enough for him to say but what about the linked interview about the Islamic visitor to the shooter's digs?

Only found on one posting but linked here.

Agreed. And it already has in a number of cases.

Whatever else can be said about this event, it was not "all the more heartbreaking and all the more despicable" because it occurred on the nation's largest Army post.

What's heartbreaking is the mounting evidence that their commander in chief is emotionally and intellectually aligned with the enemy these soldiers will be asked to fight.

This Country is diverse and so is the military, diversity is really not the problem. The problem is the total PC idiocy from closet bigots that keep people from letting one single logical brain cell spark and call a murderer a murderer without making excuses for him.

And its the lack of PC and prejudice that allows a normal rational person to call a terrorist, a terrorist, no matter who they are, without crapping their pants.

Oh...and everyone who let him slide through...they were covering their own arse from PC ....it didn't bother them to let a reporter know about it after the fact, now that the perp is in custody.
