Deadly denial: Fudging the facts on Fort Hood
NY Post ^ | November 10, 2009 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 11/10/2009 3:25:19 AM PST by Scanian

As President Obama belatedly appears at Fort Hood today, will he dare to speak the word "terror?"

He won't use the word "Islamist." If he mentions Islam at all, it'll be to sing its praises yet again.

We've already learned that Islamist terrorist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan attended the Northern Virginia mosque of Imam Anwar al-Aulaqi, a fiery al Qaeda supporter who later fled the United States. We know that Hasan's peers, subordinates and patients repeatedly raised red flags that his superiors suppressed. We know he was a player on Islamist-extremist Web sites. The FBI's uncovering one extremist link after another.

But to call this an act of terrorism, the White House would need an autographed photo of Osama bin Laden helping Hasan buy weapons in downtown Killeen, Texas. Even that might not suffice.

I expect he’ll work the words “allauh ahkbar” into his remarks somehow, in what he thinks is a very oblique way that only his brothers will get. It may be in English, and it may be as some sort of pun.

I’m sure he’ll be on a tight script today.

OBAMA knew!

He and his staff of traitors certainly gave orders to military chiefs...
Families who lost someone in the terrorist attack should ask for the truth!

TRIAL...?

Col. Peters - Just as we'd expect the Army to get rid of a disruptive white supremacist, we need to cashier anyone who espouses violent Islamist extremism -- as Maj. Hasan did, again and again. We won't. Because Islamist terrorism doesn't exist. Just ignore the dead and ask our president.

Sen. Joe Lieberman needs to open up his investigation and expose the on going cover up of who this Islamist terrorist is and make sure he is not labled a "victim"!

The resident in chief needs to be cashiered!

>>”...Sen. Joe Lieberman says were “very, very strong warning signs” that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged Ft. Hood gunman, had become a “self-radicalized, home-grown terrorist”?”<<

0bama will protect his fellow Muslim brother. When will America realize they have elected someone that hates this country and has pledged to “...fundamentally change America”?

Maybe he will... you never know.

He could talk about how the british intercepted email to catch the guy in NYC, you know, the thing that is blabbed all over Drudge right now.

Why the hell aren't these things secret? why are we dumb enough to TELL our enemy how we are catching them?

Our FBI thought the first WTC bombers weren’t a danger.

Brit forces the arrest of Zazi from Denver.

Our intelligence misses the plans to bomb our embassies

Bubba forces our Navy to steam into the Port of Yemen and the USS Cole is nearly destroyed.

We are doomed if we continue to elect soft on crime, soft on national security democrats to office.

Any office.

He’s not going to the memorial service because he cares. It’s another photo-op and tv time for him. He’ll probably start talking about health-care. The man has no empathy for anyone.

Until the politicians wake up (or drop the intentional PC facade) and admit that the US is at war with an ideology, not a single political entity or country, America will continue to be vulnerable to these attacks. Terrorism does not require a coordinated attack by a group of militants. It can be spread through individuals, operating in sympathy with the global jihad, with the encouragement of radical imams and fellow travellers. The islamic ideology is poisonous and needs to be rooted out of the US military. It won’t, so the attacks will continue. And the responsibility for those deaths will be with the cowardly senior officers and ideologically driven CIC.

I worked for the Justice Department Bureau of Prisons through the toon years and an article came out about a redneck/racist/militia story came out in the news about a get together in Georgia or Alabama. The Justice Department sent out a memo to all White officers asking if they belonged to or had attended such activities and told us to report anyone who had. Just goes to show if your not in a protected group they will try to get you.

I suspect he will tell Americans we are not at war with Islam (even though Islam is at war with us), and toot the horn of the great religion of ‘peace’, and all it’s contributed to the world.

Rather sickening that he likes to show up to visit the troops. Only after they are dead.

Yup, Pres. Bush went, with a minimal of fanfare and press.

Obama is going with the full view and glare of the American people.

I pray that Obama gets a clue and acts appropriately - and please, please God, let Michelle stay at home.

To admit that we are at war with Islam
would be to open a HUGE can of worms that
they would rather ignore or deny.

In this clash, there is a culture and civilization that
IS BASED ON THE JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS - ie, the “People of the God of the Bible”,

and another culture that is seeking the total obliteration of that culture and civilization.

The leftists (who are doing to work of the enemy of Jehovah, whether they admit it or not), cannot acknowledge this conflict, because it exposes the side that they’re on.
