Barack Obama says we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about the recent deadly shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. I think there’s enough information that leads to a reasonable conclusion. Let’s see…
- Major Nidal Malik Hasan purchased a special handgun well in advance of his actions, showing that he did not suddenly “snap”, as some have said.
- He posted statements on the internet that praised the actions of suicide bombers.
- He made numerous public statements to his military colleagues and others that he “was a Muslim first, and an American second,” that the war in Iraq was “a war on Islam,” and that “the Muslims should rise up and attack the aggressor,” a statement that confused some until they realized he was saying that we were the aggressor.
- Finally, when he launched his attack, witnesses said he shouted "Allahu Akbar", Arabic for “God is great”, as he fired, a signature cry of the jihad attacker.
With all these pieces of evidence, the media continues to tell us that investigators must wait until Hasan awakens from his coma to try to find the motive for what he did. They talk about PTSD, they talk about gangs in the military, they talk about everything except the obvious: this man was a devout Muslim who decided to commit jihad against his own country! This onslaught of politically correct bantering has to stop now!
PS -- Remember a few months ago when Obama's professor buddy was arrested at his home for basically being an obnoxious idiot? Didn't BO jump to a big conclusion then, when he admitted he didn't have all the facts yet but he still said the police "acted stupidly"?
