Obama: 'We cannot fully know' motive of Ft. Hood shooter
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/7/09 | Byron York

Posted on 11/07/2009 8:05:16 PM PST by Nachum

President Obama says "we cannot fully know" what led Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan to kill 13 people and wound 38 others at Fort Hood, Texas Thursday.

Hasan reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before the killings, wrote Internet postings justifying Muslim suicide bombings, considered U.S. forces the enemy, and opposed American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as wars on Islam. His rampage at Ft. Hood has the markings of an act of Islamic terrorism.

But in his weekly address, Obama says, "We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing." And while the killings were "heartbreaking" and "despicable" and "devastating," the president says, it is important to remember not only that Hasan's fellow soldiers responded bravely in coming to the aid of the wounded but also that "Americans of every race, faith and station" have served in the U.S. armed forces. "They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers," Obama says. "They reflect the diversity that makes this America."

IIRC, Sun Tsu talked about infiltrating organizations to undermine the confidence in the leadership and the trust among it's members.

Yes, his shouts of “Allah Ackbar” didn’t really mean anything.

So at the least you can’t say that he “acted stupidly”?

This is such BS. There were 72 reasons for this attack.

Obama: 'We cannot fully know' motive of Ft. Hood shooter; in address on killings, president celebrates diversity of armed forces

“...just trying to imagine the reaction had a US soldier of Germanic descent shouted “Heil Hitler!” before unloading a couple of pistols at a crowd of unarmed GIs during WWII...”

Good one. The motive is equally obvious.

We ALSO can’t fully know the motives of OMOSLEM.

But it’s something in the ballpark of “DIRTY MOSLEM TRAITOR INSTALLED BY GEORGE SOROS TO DESTROY THE U.S.A. AND TRANSFORM IT INTO A COMMUNIST DISTOPIA.”

A terrorist is a terrorist regardless of his motive. If the FBI classified Theodore Kaczynski as a terrorist, then this nut is a terrorist.

According to an email I just received: The FBI had info on Nidal Hasan, the killer at Fort Hood. He was on Obama’s Homeland Security transition team. The group which prompted Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to call white and conservative groups, including ex-military, dangerous.
He is on page 29 in Obamas report (page 32 including the cover pages)

Thank you for that link. I have just put it up on my website (nachumlist.com)

I believe that the FBI and CIA both had information on this murderer. The issue is if the Obama administration knew and suppressed it. That is the smoking gun we are looking for. If it can be tied to the administration though specific evidence, it may gain traction against their agenda. The next issue would be is if there is evidence, is how far up the food chain does it go....

If you come across any more concrete evidence like this, please let me know.
