The Democrats and left-wing media are blaming everything except the Muslim terrorist that perpetrated the horrific events that took place at Fort Hood.
Mayor Daley of Chicago Blames Guns.
The War on Terror Made Him Do It
FOX NEWS:
Major Nidal Malik Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic during his senior year as a psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Medical Center.
Instead, Hasan lectured his supervisors and two dozen mental health staff members on Islam, homicide bombings and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting against other Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A source who attended the presentation told the paper, “It was really strange. The senior doctors looked really upset.”
The Powerpoint, entitled, “The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military,” consisted of 50 slides, according to a copy obtained by the Post.
“It’s getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims,” Hasan said in the presentation.
Under a slide titled “Comments,” he wrote: “If Muslim groups can convince Muslims that they are fighting for God against injustices of the ‘infidels’; ie: enemies of Islam, then Muslims can become a potent adversary ie: suicide bombing, etc.” [sic]
The last bullet point on that page reads simply: “We love death more then [sic] you love life!”
On the final slide, labeled “Recommendation,” Hasan wrote: “Department of Defense should allow Muslims [sic] Soldiers the option of being released as ‘Conscientious objectors’ to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events.”

The media refuses to acknowledge the fact that the attack at Fort Hood was an act of Muslim terrorism, because if they do they have to admit that Obama has failed to keep America safe. George W. Bush and his Administration kept the country attack free for seven years, and less than one year into his first term Obama has allowed America to be attacked.

The headlines have been asking “Why Did He Do It?” since the tragic attacks at Fort Hood. But, shouldn’t the media be asking “How was this guy a Major in the U.S. Army?”
According to several news outlets, U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material…”
Gen. George Casey, wouldn’t rule out that the shooting was an act of terrorism, but cautioned against speculation at this point. “We all want to know what happened and what motivated the suspect, but we need to … let the investigation take its course…”
Sen. Joe Lieberman said that if news reports were true that Mr. Hasan had turned to Islamic extremism, “the murder of these 13 people was a terrorist act and, in fact, it was the most-destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11. We don’t know enough to say now, but there are very, very strong warning signs here that Dr. Hasan had become an Islamist extremist and, therefore, that this was a terrorist act…”
Where were the CIA, FBI, NSA, Homeland Security and military intelligence on this?
We know where the White House is… U.S. Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano “says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday’s rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
U.S. intelligence was aware that the Major had attempted top contact Al Qaeda operatives. According to other sources the Major was an outspoken Islamic with radical views on “Infidel’s” and what should happen to them; “they should be beheaded and have hot oil poured down their throats.” It has also been reported that much like the 911 terrorists, the Major visited a strip club several times before he carried out his attack.
The time of political correctness has to end. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. That ain’t profiling that is simple, an obvious observation. Speaking of observation, where is Barrack Hussein Obama on this attack?
George W. Bush was lambasted for not speaking up soon enough on 911; he was criticized for reading to school children instead of acting immediately. What has Obama said or done? As far as I can tell… he has done nothing. He is too busy trying to figure out his strategy for Afghanistan, while we are being attacked right here by radical homegrown-Muslims.
The media is focusing on not jumping to conclusions for fear of hurting the feelings of the Muslim community. Tell that to the 13 dead and 29 wounded soldiers and their families. Let’s stop worrying about the feelings of select groups of people, and start worrying about the safety of this country.
Here is an idea… why don’t the non-radical members of the Muslim world step up and stop the radical factions. Don’t the radical factions do more to hurt the reputations of non-radical Muslims then any profiling has ever done? It is no different than urban renewal, and the plight of inner city individuals. The successful agents of change are those people that help themselves.
Why should the United States and its people; an inclusive and diverse group of people made up of all creeds, colors, shapes and sizes, bow to the pressures of those who do not want to be as tolerant and inclusive and they are.
We need a President and an Administration that will think of the safety, protection and well being of the people… the American people.

Despite this ongoing deterioration in the job market, the Obama Administration continues to argue that the $800 billion stimulus bill has improved the economy. On October 30, the Administration released data claiming that the stimulus has created or saved 640,000 jobs. These claims are mistaken, as demonstrated by the 2.8 million jobs that have been lost since the stimulus became law. The Administration’s figures greatly exaggerate the positive effect of the stimulus for two reasons:
1. The data used to create these estimates contains serious flaws. The Administration provided unclear guidelines for how to report jobs created or saved. Media analyses of these jobs reports have found severe errors. For instance, the Associated Press found that two-thirds of the 15,000 jobs one agency reported creating or saving did not really exist. Rather, the agency reported workers who received raises with stimulus funding as having their jobs “saved.”[1] In another case, a shoe store in Kentucky that provided nine pairs of boots to the Army Corps of Engineers for $889.60 reported saving nine jobs.[2] Such errors pervade the stimulus job creation estimates.
2. A deeper problem with the Administration’s numbers is that they estimate the wrong figures. The Administration estimates the jobs directly funded by stimulus spending. However, they ignore the jobs that the money spent on the stimulus would have otherwise created. Congressional spending does not create wealth; it redistributes it. Had Congress not passed the stimulus bill, the private sector would have used those funds on other projects that would have also created jobs… MORE
