The Senate Armed Services Committee postponed its Monday briefing on the deadly Fort Hood massacre at the behest of the White House, despite calls from some lawmakers to press forward with a congressional investigation into the shooting rampage that killed 13 and wounded 29.
An aide to committee chairman Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., told Fox News that the meeting is delayed "at the request of the administration." Army Secretary John McHugh and Army Chief of Staff Gen George Casey were to have briefed committee members privately on the shooting.
Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was charged on Thursday with the deadly shooting spree. Army investigators have said Hasan is the only suspect and could face additional charges.
Obama already had ordered a review of all intelligence related to Hasan and whether the information was properly shared and acted upon within government agencies. Several members of Congress, particularly Rep. Peter Hoekstra, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, have also called for a full examination of what agencies knew about Hasan's contacts with a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen and others of concern to the U.S.
Hoekstra confirmed this week that government officials knew of about 10 to 20 e-mails between Hasan and Anwar al-Aulaqi, beginning in December 2008.

Are you kiddinh? The Grumpy Old Party is still asleep. The ones who are awake are just spineless jellyfish.
TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT??????
Buahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Obama is a slickster who is, as we speak, cauterizing evidence, and not only that, if any one gets in the way , they will end up in a river, or in some kind of constructed suicide.
Thats what he has Czars for, to make government MORE transparent.( sarc.)
Perhaps we will discover if Obama has an SEIU hit team.
Ping.
This is unbelievable...
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!!!!!!!!
Of course Obama wants FORT HOOD on the back burner he needs to try Bush/ the CIA/Cheney in NY court and let the 9/11 terrorists go free because their AMERICAN attorneys say they were not read their Miranda Rights!
Disgusting ... reprehensible! He’s going
go micromanage ANYthing having to do with
a muslim terrorist killer or any muslim who
breaks our laws and puts us at risk.
DAMN him!!
The SOB needs to stop getting our troops killed in Afghanistan and make a damned decision. Pull them out if MIRANDA RIGHTS to the enemy and Obama special ROE’s are the norm!
He was too damned busy in commie China trying to say... tear the firewall down. <-—LOL he FAILED! Only Reagan was great! He wasted EVEN more of our taxpayer money trotting his long legged macked daddy ass around the globe trying to make commie NWO on his damned unicorn. ALL AWHILE we were attacked at Fort Hood and he won’t admit the enemy!
Then I just heard that the 9/11 terrorists he and comrade commie Holder want to have tried in NY will have attorneys that plea their clients (TERRORISTS) were not read their miranda rights so throw the case out!
I AM SO MAD I COULD SPIT NAILS!!!!!!!!!
And I thought Lieberman was really pushing for this investigation.
I’m disgusted by this but not surprised at all.
This is when we will find out who has the steel balls in Congress. As important as this issue is, they need to get out in front of the issue. Considering the risk to each one of us (death by jihad) we do not need something like “He is my CIC and I will honor his request.”
If no one in the GOP gets in front of this we are doomed.
and don’t expect the Obozo Media to say a single word...they all suck
“If no one in the GOP gets in front of this we are doomed.”
Every last one of them should be in front of the cameras tomorrow telling America that Obama is covering for this terrorist and leaving our nation’s security at risk.
The whole world is watching how this is being handled and it will tell them how to behave towards us in the future. Especially those who wish us harm.
Is this just a "kinder gentler" wasy of saying that Obammie ordered the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Secretary of the Army not to testify to Congress? Sounds like it to me.
he is the fall guy. the Senate wants to wait until after Thanksgiving.
They will hold flippy dippy meeting and then guess what?
Christmas break and you won’t see them again until almost February.
By then the USMJC will be in swing and everyone will say that should be the process and we will take a look at this once that process has concluded.
You will never see any hearings as they would distract from all the bills coming down the pike
Only have time to read title..I’m not looking forward to updating the archive thread.
Did you hear about the investigation by military and civilians per fox news today? I wonder who the civilians will be. Is it wise to let them do this before the senate? Is the senate waiting for that investigation to be done first?
Please see my #37... Been really busy the past couple of days.
See Dentist tomorrow to finish a root canal and Doctor Wed for seeing how I am doing with Blood pressure and cholesterol level....
[[And I suppose there hasn’t been a wimper from the Republicans? They are letting him rule by dictate.]]
Precisely- Obama and hte dems are hell bent on destroying htis country, and our freedom, and the GOP is stunningly SILENT- allowing it to happen and allowing htis administration to walk all over our constitutional rights- the GOP should be DEMANDING that action be taken YESTERDAY-!!! It’s almost as if they want htis country to fail by not opposing the ILLEGAL actions this president has taken and allowed i nthe name of his agenda
