Senate report concludes that the sky is blue

"the FBI and DOD could have prevented the shooting if they had identified Hasan’s radical Islamist views . . . ."

No kidding.

The obvious problem with this is that the problem was always obvious. Or, it should have been to anyone with even a modicum of curiosity about the world . . . or a pulse. It takes a lot of work to ignore the hordes of data each day highlighting the infrangible link between Islam and mass slaughter, especially after 9/11 and nearly seventeen thousand jihad attacks since. Even without opening a Qur'an, a reasonable person would suspect that something isn't kosher about Islam.

Senators Lieberman and Collins reiterate the Big Lie by implying through their use of "-ists" and "-isms" that what Nidal Hasan preached and practiced that day at Ft. Hood was anything other than Islam-the-Way-Muhammad-Intended. Note their liberal use of violent puns (I guess they didn't get the memo; it's Lieberman and Collins, so yes, that's a pun of my own) and the Orwellian Islamspeak ("radical," "extremist," "Islamist") throughout:

A new Senate report on the 2009 Fort Hood shooting blames the FBI and Department of Defense for failing to recognize or act on alleged shooter Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s extremist views.

If Muhammad commanded, "kill the pagans wherever you find them" (Qur'an 9:5), then how are Hasan's views "extremist"?

The report, released today by Senate Homeland Security Committee chairman Joe Lieberman and ranking Republican Susan Collins, says the FBI and DOD could have prevented the shooting if they had identified Hasan’s radical Islamist views and disciplined or discharged him before the attack occurred.

Hasan’s radicalization to violent Islamist extremism but failed both to understand and to act on it,” the senators said in the report. “Our investigation found specific and systemic failures in the government’s handling of the Hasan case and raises additional concerns about what may be broader systemic issues.”

Having an allegedly-former-Muslim-in-Chief who calls the Islamic call to prayer "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset," refers to "my Muslim faith," lies at Al-Azhar about the "great world religion of peace," can't answer honestly a little girl's request for a definition of "jihad," and forces Socialism/Communism -- Islam's only secular friend -- down our throats might indicate "broader systemic issues," might it not?

"DOD possessed compelling evidence that Hasan embraced views so extreme that it should have disciplined him or discharged him from the military, but DOD failed to take action against him,” the report said.

At today’s press conference Lieberman noted that an instructor and a colleague had each referred to Hasan as “a ticking time bomb.”

“To me it’s infuriating that a member of our armed services who expressed such radical opinions to other members of our military was not discharged,” Lieberman said.

"Discharged"?  How about, "deported"? "Dispatched"?

“The Fort Hood massacre resulted because of what I would call a tragedy of errors – just one after another - by organizations that normally perform effectively. But in this case – for a host of various reasons and frankly some things that are hard to explain – just totally failed to act in a way that as you look back at the evidence with the clarity of hindsight just shouts out, ‘Stop this guy before he kills somebody!’ And he was not stopped.”

Lieberman vowed that the report would be used as a “blueprint” for reforms “so the next human ticking time bomb will be identified early and defused before the next deadly detonation.

That "blueprint" is called "Muhammad's words and deeds."

I've got a surefire, one-hundred-percent-guaranteed, take-it-to-the-bank method for identifying the "next deadly detonation": Look for the devout/orthodox/traditional Muslim. Anything less than that only ensures the attack.

Somehow, I don't think we'll be hearing that from either of the distinguished senators.

So much for clarity.

Presidential treason, or The Emperor's New Niqab

A president's first job is to protect the American people, something President Bush -- despite his faults -- obviously took seriously.

Obama? Not so much.

Clare M. Lopez tells the truth about jihad at Ft. Hood and our national security leadership's inability -- or unwillingness, beginning with The Other Hussein -- to defend properly American life and limb.

It's because they refuse to tell the truth about the Emperor's New Niqab, Islam:

A week after a Muslim jihadi gunned down more than 40 fellow citizens at Ft. Hood, Texas, America’s national security leadership still won’t admit that the attack had anything to do with Islam. By failing to acknowledge that connection, those with a constitutional duty to defend this nation “against all enemies foreign and domestic” consistently substitute a policy of political correctness at the expense of military readiness. The fact is that the 5 November 2009 attack that took the lives of thirteen American patriots was not just an act of terrorism: it was an act of war. When a gunman from the ranks of Islamic Jihad mounts an armed assault against a military target in complete consistency with the enemy doctrine of war, it is time to recognize that the U.S. actually is at war -- not just in Afghanistan or Iraq, but with all those who follow the call of Jihad. These are the Jihad Wars and the stakes are clear: shall Americans live in security under the Constitution or shall the enemy within and without compel us to submit to Shari’a (Islamic law)?

The few courageous commentators, like Colonel Ralph Peters, Bill O’Reilly, and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), who dare to notice that U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was born and raised a Muslim, yelled “Allahu Akbar (“God is the greatest”) while shooting people in the back, and sought Islamic fatwas from American-born Yemeni al-Qa’eda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki (who’d been his imam at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia), have been ignored. Hasan told colleagues, "I'm a Muslim first and an American second." He proselytized his psychiatric patients, many with PTSD, trying to convert them to Islam -- and they complained about it. He gave a Power Point presentation while at the military’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences entitled ‘Why the War on Terror is a War on Islam" in which a classmate says he “justified suicide bombing" and spewed "anti-American propaganda.”

The Army knew about all of this. Further, the 9/11 Commission, Congress, and the FBI had all focused on al-Awlaki’s links to al-Qa’eda eight year ago. DIA issued an internal report in 2003 warning that Muslim soldiers in the U.S. military pose a possible security threat after Sgt. Hasan Akbar, a Muslim convert, killed two and wounded 15 others at a military camp outside Baghdad.

But in the days since the Ft. Hood massacre, U.S. Army Chief of Staff General George Casey has appeared more worried about the possibility that diversity in the military could become “a casualty” than he has about his constitutional duty to ensure force protection within the ranks of this country’s military, unit cohesion, and readiness to defeat this nation’s enemies. The reality that Maj. Hasan and Sgt. Akbar should alert us to is that some of those enemies are already inside the gates. They do not wear an enemy uniform or fight within the bounds of the Geneva Convention code. They pose as loyal Americans but render their true allegiance to Islam and Shari’a.

Devout Muslim slaughters and wounds dozens of Americans, and what is our government's response?

Protect Muslims.

That would be like protecting Imperial Japanese pilots in America the week after Pearl Harbor.

It is not enough that our politicians are bankrupting and disarming the nation.

They work now with the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the United Nations, and the Department of Homeland Security to criminalize telling the truth about Islam.

Just so we're clear about this: Muslims butcher innocent people in obedience to Allah and in accord with Muhammad's example, but when free men state that simple fact, we're the criminals.

From here:

The U.S. Homeland Security secretary says she is working to prevent a possible wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.

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 Musim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Would those "groups" include CAIR?  MPAC?  ISNA?  Hizb'allah?  Al Qaeda?  The Taliban?

You wouldn't want Americans thinking.  They might start getting ideas, putting two and two together, start defending themselves . . . .

Muslim butchers Americans at Ft. Hood; U.S. president and media obfuscate regarding motive

Here's a hint, feckless cowards, perfidious liars: Islam.

And why is an unindicted coconspirator in a federal terrorism funding trial with umbilical cords still attached to the Muslim Brotherhood -- whose stated purpose is to accomplish what the Muslim devil executed today -- being treated as anything other than enemies of humanity?

As long as America's "leaders" continue to obfuscate and outright lie for Islam, the bloodletting is only going to get worse.

A U.S. soldier opened fire Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas, killing at least 11 people and wounding 31 others, military officials said. The gunman was shot to death, and two other soldiers were in custody.

Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of the Army’s III Corps, who briefed President Barack Obama on the shootings, said the gunman used two handguns.

NBC News’ Pete Williams reported that a U.S. official identified the gunman as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was 39 or 40. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas, said military officials told her that the gunman was about to be deployed to Iraq and was “upset about it.” The Associated Press reported that Hasan was a mental health professional.

A senior administration official told NBC News that the shootings could have been a criminal matter rather than a terrorism-related attack and that there was no intelligence to suggest a plot against Fort Hood.

Yes, there is "no intelligence," since the only "plot" a Muslim needs to slaughter "the worst of creatures" is the command of Allah and the example of Muhammad.

Military and local hospital official said the victims were a mixture of men and women, military and civilian. At least one of those killed was a civilian police officer, Cone said. At least four local SWAT officers were among those wounded, NBC affiliate KCEN-TV of Waco reported.

Fort Hood, one of the largest military complexes in the world, was on lockdown, as were schools in the area. Dozens of agents of the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responded to the post, federal officials said.

Muslim group condemns shootings
Speaking in Washington, Obama called the shootings a “horrific incident.”

Obama's part of a "Muslim group"?  Isn't that racist?

And it wasn't a "horrific incident," it was jihad.

If The Other Hussein is such a smart guy -- the smartest president we've ever had, according to Michael Beschloss -- and since he was educated in Islam as a devout Muslim, he ought to know jihad when he sees it.

That he won't admit that fact -- and thereby warn the American people and enable an effective and vigorous self-defense -- tells us all we need to know about where his allegiances lie.

“It’s difficult enough when we lose these great Americans in battles overseas,” Obama said at the Interior Department. “It’s horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil.”

Noting the Arabic nature of the gunman’s name, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington interest group, condemned “this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law.”

Just like Hasan's fellow soldiers, who took his comment about wishing that "Muslims would rise up against the aggressors" to mean that he wanted Muslims to aid America against the terrorists, you probably think that CAIR is referring to Hasan and anyone who helped him as "the perpetrators."

They're actually referring to those who stopped Hasan.

”No political or religious ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence,” the council said in a statement. “The attack was particularly heinous in that it targeted the all-volunteer army that protects our nation. American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens in offering both prayers for the victims and sincere condolences to the families of those killed or injured.”

No ideology except their own, they mean.
