"Painful Conclusion": Senators Say FBI & DOD Could Have Prevented Ft. Hood Shooting
ABC News ^ | February 03, 2011 | Matthew Jaffe

A new Senate report on the 2009 Fort Hood shooting blames the FBI and Department of Defense for failing to recognize or act on alleged shooter Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s extremist views.

The report, released today by Senate Homeland Security Committee chairman Joe Lieberman and ranking Republican Susan Collins, says the FBI and DOD could have prevented the shooting if they had identified Hasan’s radical Islamist views and disciplined or discharged him before the attack occurred.

“Our report’s painful conclusion is that the Fort Hood massacre could have and should have been prevented,” Lieberman said at a press conference today.

“The fact is that both the FBI and the Army were aware of Major Hasan,” Collins said. “This is not a case where a lone wolf was unknown to the FBI, unknown to the military officials, until he struck – and that is the tragedy of this case.”

“Every conservative and patriotic American should make an oath to keep telling their fellow Americans that Obama is bad for America and needs to be defeated.”

As you speak, king obuma is being de-fanged. In November, the Tea Party elected more than 700 patriots to state legislators who now completely control 26 states. This past week we saw the first step of a long journey to uproot 100 years of communist infestation - the federal court’s ruling that obuma deathcare is unconstitutional.

We’re about to see a thousand brushfires ignited that obuma’s criminal fascist syndicate has neither the manpower nor resources to control.

Keep the fires burning. Consider it a signal to attract more patriots to join the fight.

I put an update at the end of the thread! They are currently marinading in a pineapple juice-based marinade, and I will cook them at the friend’s appt tomorrow, rather than transport them cooked

God damned political correctness where the liberal assholes are allowed to create a situation where people KNOW that their careers will be destroyed if they dare report militant Muslims.

Susan Collins was on TV berating the Defense Dept. for promoting Hasan.

Of course, if they hadn’t promoted Hasan she’d be berating them for discrimination.

Damn politicians - they curse us with all this political correctness, and then when it goes tragically wrong they take none of the blame.

At least Merkel, Cameron, Sarkozy, and Singapore’s Lee Kwan Yew ( “We can integrate all religions and races except Islam.”) are at last speaking out.

Politicians NEVER take blame for anything, especially if they are the cause of it.

And the reason that they did not prevent it is because the politicans would not allow them to prevent it.

Ask a politician if they’d jump in front of a bullet to protect someone, anyone else...

If a politician doesn’t feel like they are expendable, why should we expect anything else from them but feckless, and unprincipled representation...

(Ohhhh, this is good stuff, I need to write this one down somewhere...Anyone got a pen???)

Dangerous? Damned right it’s dangerous! In fact, it will kill us all if we don’t put a stop to it and do it REAL soon!

I think it was painfully obvious from the beginning that Hassan should have been kicked-out of the military, but political correctness prevented it.

“blames the FBI and Department of Defense for failing to recognize or act on alleged shooter Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s extremist views.”

PC required leadership to ignore the signs.
