If you want to "cut Obama some slack" feel free to do so. For me, I expected Obama to make this bloodbath the central topic of his speech,...not an afterthought the way it appeared. On such a solemn occasion, I thought it improper for the Commander-in-Chief to open his remarks with lightheartedness.
To me the appearance was one of priorities: it appeared Obama made a concerted effort to relegate the military as a secondary topic to a mundane meeting which few Americans even knew was under way. Obama made himself appear somewhat foolish to millions watching his speech. "Experience",..exit stage left.....
I like Mormons. They were really good to me during a difficult time in my childhood (I just happened to live in an area with a large number of them). To my knowledge, they've never once murdered large groups of non-Mormons in the name of Mormonism.
Why weren't americans this islamophobic in 1941 ? They were just as Muslim as they are now. How did the US get so weirded out over it ? Is it the "phobia of the century ?" Used to be the Communists...remember that BS about stopping communism ??? hahahahahahahah. Now we think we can halt terrorism with more violence, and aggression......what a JOKE.
It was the Japanese blowing themselves up in those days or soon thereafter and the Muslims were not seeking to blow us up. The brain dead among us forget what happened on 9/11. They are so blinded for their absolute hate for America that I am surprized it is not only Muslims we are dealing with but also america haters that are on just about every corner in are major cities. In fact I guess we are as demonstrated by Columbine et al.
Why are they there and why do they hate america? Maybe this islamic goon couldn't figure it out and was so conflicted he thought he was in good company. We have a lost generation as is evidenced by many that post here.
When these little blowhards, head banging freaks, that have been lost to any understanding of love from their absentee parents and our absentee professional teachers, take control we will be a lost society. Over two hundred years of the greatest society the world has ever known will be rolled over not by tanks but from the cancerous lesions that infest the bowels of our republic.
If it were not for the brave young men and women in this country that are of descent stock, these little infidels would be losing their heads,wearing Berkas and trading in thier global warming god for an enforced god known to the barbarians as Allah.
The shooter obviously did something truly devastating and horrible. But anybody that contributed to the chaos through harassment, provocation, or anger-making, is some-what to blame for it. A mature and reasonable person would try to assuage and mollify the hate, dysfunction, and hostility so that nothing horrific would escalate.
He was motivated by radical Islamic ideology. A peer of his was on Wolf Blitzer and talked about how Hasan was very outspoken against the U.S. presence in the middle east and considered the war on terror a war on Islam. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck.
