Obama Calls for Further Review of Missed Warning Signs & Motives of Fort Hood Shooter

November 14, 2009 6:01 AM

Miller ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:

From Asia, President Obama devotes his weekly address to the domestic tragedy at Fort Hood, calling for a complete investigation so that the “full story” of the gunman’s motives and possible missed “warning signs” in the system is told.

“That investigation will look at the motives of the alleged gunman, including his views and contacts,” President Obama said alluding to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, although not by name. “I am confident that justice will be done, and I will insist that the full story be told. That is paramount, and I won’t compromise that investigation today by discussing the details of this case.”

The president also called for the “potential warning signs” that may have been known prior to the shootings.

“We must uncover what steps – if any – could have been taken to avert this tragedy,” Obama said. “The purpose of this review is clear: We must compile every piece of information that was known about the gunman, and we must learn what was done with that information.”

If there was a failure to take appropriate action before the shootings, Mr. Obama said there must be accountability.

“Beyond that – and most importantly – we must quickly and thoroughly evaluate and address any flaws in the system, so that we can prevent a similar breach from happening again. Our government must be able to act swiftly and surely when it has threatening information. And our troops must have the security that they deserve.”

There comes a point in time when a decision has to be made.

There comes a point in time when the collection of additional information is redundant and counterproductive.

There comes a point in time when must sh*t or get off the pot.

There comes a point in time when you can no longer put off till tomorrow ... what MUST be done today.

BOs solution:

Any criticism of a future Muslim terror slide show like the kind Malik Handjob put together is a court-martial offense.....

The new motto of the Army is “Diversity uber Survival”

Maybe they were too busy with renovations after the Washington Post story. There is now way on Earth I trust Obama with this.

Eric Holder will supervise the investigation, no doubt. And he can safely delegate it to Robert Mueller, who has been covering up for Muslims ever since he was appointed.

And Gates will see to it that the Army does its job according to Obama’s wishes. He can’t assign the guys from the Judge Advocates Corps who have been prosecuting the Haditha Marines, since they’re Navy; but perhaps he can find similar types among the Army lawyers.

Could this be a warning sign? “All infidels should be killed.”

Today O demanded that congress not convene and investigation because it will only be for show and he wants his investigation to have priority.

Hiding something, Mr. President???

I understand Hasan was driving this vehicle to the base every day...but we failed to see the "warning signs."

Yup. The longer this idiot stays in office, the worse things will get. Obama HAS TO GO! Feet first or head first, he has got to go.

Maybe it’s all related to the mentality that would bring enemy combatants to NYC for civilian trials.

Damage control.

Now we will see if the congress is just a rubber stamp. I believe this falls within the jurisdiction of Lieberman. I hope he sticks it to them.
