(CBS News) President Obama on Tuesday vowed to hold whoever was responsible for the killing spree in Afghanistan that left 16 civilians dead over the weekend "fully accountable," directing the Pentagon to "spare no effort" in conducting a full investigation to find out what happened.

"The United States takes this as seriously as if it were our own citizens and our own children who were murdered," Mr. Obama said from the White House Rose Garden. "We're heartbroken over the loss of innocent life."

Fort Hood: "Don't jump to any conclusions."

[Regulator]

Nidal who? What did you say? Oh that. Workplace violence, no biggie...

[ZULU]

I hate this rotten bastard. He isn’t worth the dirt he walks on.

We have a president who loves Muslims and hates Christians and Americans.

WHEN WILL PEOPLE WAKE UP???!!!!

[Joe the Pimpernel]

We couldn’t rush to judgement on Nidal “Allahu Akabar” Hasan, but we can rush to judgement on this guy because he didn’t praise Allah while he killed people.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Looks like our president is judge, jury and executioner.

[Noob1999]

I predict that he will be held unaccountable due to mental illness caused by his Iraq head injuries!

And that’s not a bad thing.

[mcshot]

I predict he won’t be treated that fairly. God Bless this family.

[nhwingut]

Exactly. It makes me sick.

I saw a headline this morning in the Boston Herald that said. “Seargent Psycho.” It made me want to cry.

Here’s a guy with a purple heart who served his country on three tours in Middle East war zones, and is sent back out after incurring a brain injury. And when he snaps, the president (who claimed he “had their back”) throws him to the wolves.

Sickening.

[MestaMachine]

I must remain speechless because if I give voice to what is going through my head, they would shut this site down.

[funfan]

Manchurian candidate. Interesting in that movie how service men were programed to kill just with a few simple words

[omega4179]

If we execute a mentally ill man due to brain damage, we deserve to lose this war.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

I wonder if the Sergent will get a civilian trial like his counterparts?

[drypowder]

Not to be personal but just searching for a feasible answer to your; WHEN WILL PEOPLE WAKE UP???!!!! I'd say all things considered most people recognize the fact that we are under tyrannical rule so now what??

[bgill]

Just standing by his muzzy brothers.

[BitWielder1]

When are the people who murdered our soldiers, and recently shot and killed one of the Afghans inspecting the site, going to feel the "full force of the law", and not just "Oh well, Muslims will be Muslims."?

For all 0bamas talk about "leveling the playing field" this field is mighty slanted.

[savage woman]

Was this his comment about Holder - Fast and Furious?

[bkopto]

I guess the usurper believes in “the law” when it suits his purposes.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

You are one pathetic president, Obama!

[Buckeye McFrog]

This is the opening he’s been praying five times a day for to put US troops under the jurisdiction of a UN tribunal.

[arasina]

Maybe he can host a beer summit with the Afghanis.
