Obama Suggests Hasan May Have Cracked Under Stress (Defending Terrorist acts?)

PRESIDENT OBAMA: "Well, look, we -- we have seen, in the past, rampages of this sort. And in a country of 300 million people, there are going to be acts of violence that are inexplicable. Even within the extraordinary military that we have -- and I think everybody understands how outstanding the young men and women in uniform are under the most severe stress -- there are going to be instances in which an individual cracks. I think the questions that we're asking now and we don't have yet complete answers to is, is this an individual who's acting in this way or is it some larger set of actors? You know, what are the motivations? Those are all questions that I think we have to ask ourselves. Until we have these answers buttoned down, I'd rather not comment on it."

Obama should resign the office of POTUS immediately. He is defending the terrorist Hasan, Obviously the CINC is briefed at a much higher level then the rest of us. There is way too many clues available in he media that this guy was connected with Al-Qaida. Yet the POTUS defends his actions as stress related! This is apalling every victims family should be outraged at this idiot in chief.

Yeah. All through the Clinton administration, 9/11, and now on yours. What are YOU going to do to stop it?

Do you think Obama will shoot Rahm and David when he cracks due to the pressure?

What is the pressident doing even speculating on this when he is telling everyone not to rush to judgment?

Obama is a class A douche bag.

True, Bill Handel out here in LA (get podcast) just went through a 30 minute diatribe on why the president cannot say anything for or against him due to a defense law of how his comments might influence the jury.

He noted most will not like the speech due to the limitations on the president.

He did not mention what would happen being supportive of the killer.

What he is doing is treason, he is defending a Muslim extremist Jihadist that Killed American Soldiers, by offering such a cockamame excuse based on the available intel in the media right now. So does he then also believe that those 19 Jiahdists on 911 were just stressed out too because they were obviously being confused by radical people? Is that the defense now? Is that how we are going to view those at war with America? God Help Us all.

"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." - Barack Hussein Obama

"This is a time of war. And yet these Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle," Obama said to a crowd estimated at about 15,000. "They were killed here, on American soil, in the heart of this great American community. It is this fact that makes the tragedy even more painful and even more incomprehensible."

If it is comprehension O is after and he does not want to listen to Americans who understand what "drove" Hasan to commit these murders. Surely he can find terrorists victims or relatives of victims is Mumbai, India or Islamabad, Pakistan who will explain this two him. If he wants, he can go to the source and read the writings of innumerable angry Islamists who are very clear about their motives and intent.

Obama is cracking under the stress.

If he cant call a Jihadist a Jihadist, he’s clueless.

If he thinks “stress” causes rampages like this rather than a twisted and deliberate attempt to cause great harm, he’s an idiot.

If he is deliberately discounting the ROP angle, he’s a liar.

I’m old enough to remember the kerfuffle when President Nixon pronounced the Mansons guilty while the trial was still going on. Nonetheless, the President of the United States should be talking about protecting the American people from terror - and taking steps to do it. Instead of doing what he is doing, which is nothing good.

At least he did not blame this on Bush-—yet. Obama is not going to criticize his fellow Muslim brothers. Do not be surprised if the justifies Hasan’s actions. He may award Hasan the Congressional Medal of Honor.

What is worse, at the Ft.Hood ceremonies today, not one mention was made by Hussein or the Army General Officers that spoke about the perp or his Islamic history. A travesty all around and in particular against the victims of the terrorist.

The poseur is just digging himself a bigger and bigger hole. It's his own very special shovel-ready project. I wouldn't think it's terribly bright to throw our military personnel under the bus, but far be it from me to advise him.

May God bless our brave men and women in uniform, as they strive to defend us. They deserve better.

That’s utter nonsense and excuses. President Bush didn’t hold back after 911. He called them by their proper name (evil) and then went out to kill them! This is what we get when we have a democrat/marxist administration. It’s a ‘law enforcement’ issue now...not a war on terror.

Don’t forget, as a doc this guy was a non-combatant and wasn’t supposed to carry a weapon in the combat zone. When I was in RVN in 1968, we had an AF doc get in trouble for buying an M16 on the black market.

Well Obama’s words are the best explanation for the terrorist attack. Obama is in denial about Islamic terror, despite the fact that a score of terrorist attempts have been thwarted in the last 18 months. Two of those terrorist acts—in Little Rock and Ft. Hood— were successful. Obama’s "see no evil" attitude ensures that more successful Islamic terror acts will take place in the coming months.

If Obama’s definition of “inexplicable” behavior includes a devout Muslim shouting Allah Akbar before gunning down Americans we are in deep sh*t.

You can hardly imagine a clearer definition of a terrorist act.

The President of the United States is implying that all members of the armed forces are under stress so severe that they may try to contact Al-Qaida and gun down their fellow soldiers. Shameful talk coming from any American, let alone the Commander in Chief.
