Obama Suggests Hasan May Have Cracked Under Stress (Defending Terrorist acts?)

PRESIDENT OBAMA: "Well, look, we -- we have seen, in the past, rampages of this sort. And in a country of 300 million people, there are going to be acts of violence that are inexplicable. Even within the extraordinary military that we have -- and I think everybody understands how outstanding the young men and women in uniform are under the most severe stress -- there are going to be instances in which an individual cracks. I think the questions that we're asking now and we don't have yet complete answers to is, is this an individual who's acting in this way or is it some larger set of actors? You know, what are the motivations? Those are all questions that I think we have to ask ourselves. Until we have these answers buttoned down, I'd rather not comment on it."

"Cambridge police acted stupidly"

Let's remember who has a history of jumping to conclusions when the situation suits him!

You're right. The killer yelled out to Allah - he was doing the killing in the name of Allah.

The guy was a Major - had advanced degrees - never showed any mental illness outside of his crazy murderous religious beliefs... What's hard to "get"?

Obama is cracking under the stress.

That may be so, although I've begun to wonder whether the endless string of insults and affronts to our decency aren't intentional. Zero is cold, and I think he is a sadist too. I wouldn't exclude a certain calculation to his insults. It's a kind of juvenile, psyops move on his part.

When people defend the indefensible, they are either sociopaths or on the take.

Considering how rare true sociopaths are and how many Democrats are out there defending or apologzing for this killer, its apparent they are on the take.

Radical Islam has tons of money. Democrats got a lot of hungry mouths to feed and burn through money fast to keep their coalition together. The liberal media is bleeding cash. Just as the many in the media and on the left were on the take from the Soviets during and before the Cold War, does anyone doubt they have turned to the sponsors of radical Islam to fund themselves today?

There is no sense in trying to explain anything to these people. They are compromised and their interests do not coincide with the interests of America.

Yeah, I am sure that if this was some white guy from Oklahoma or Texas we would get the same reaction from Obama. /Sarc.

What would really happen is that the guy would be cast as a domestic terrorist, and every white guy from Oklahoma or Texas would be looked at with extra scrutiny.

We need to petition congress to recognize those brave injured and dead at Fort Hood with Purple Hearts.... Obama could not even bring himself to say that they died in the line of duty today... He is attempting to make this like it was a random act of violence instead of the Terrorist Jihadist act that it was.

It is incumbent upon the American People to demand that their President speak the truth in these matters. There is a radical element of Islam and that element must be eliminated by all people of all faiths... Even good muslims should agree.

The Purple Heart, there's the rub.

Obama can't obfuscate and dance around it.

If the Army awards it, it is because it was determined to be an enemy attack. This was a terrorist event.

If the Army denies it, then brave heroes are denied the honor due their sacrifice, all so Obama can play pretend.

What stress? The guy left a residency at Walter Reed and was stationed at Hood. I know some folks don’t like Texas but stress...he has never deployed to an active war zone.

The only stress Hasan had was being MUSLIM and in the US Army. He was NOT a combat vet and would not see combat as a shrink.

In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

Obvious terrorist attack notwithstanding, the only justification I can see for BHO to play up the "cracked" card is to dampen any religious wedges Hasan & his Al Qaeda contacts intend to drive between the US military and loyal Muslim troops.

Barry knows there's more to it than a lone cracked phyc major but his statist belief structure does not trust his fellow citizens subjects with the truth:

" I think the questions that we're asking now and we don't have yet complete answers to is, is this an individual who's acting in this way or is it some larger set of actors? You know, what are the motivations? Those are all questions that I think we have to ask ourselves. Until we have these answers buttoned down, I'd rather not comment on it."

Obama, you aren't fooling anyone you Islamist sympathizer! Why don't you just go to this conference with your girlfriend Holder and makes apologies for jihadi Haman being ‘discriminated’ against by not being allowed to finish the job?

11-09-09

“Despite ban, Holder to speak to CAIR-linked group”

“Attorney General Eric Holder has agreed to give a keynote speech later this month to a Michigan group which includes the local branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations even though the FBI has formally severed contacts with the controversial Muslim civil rights organization...”
