Call for calm after US military base killings (Obama says don't jump to conclusions...)
Financial Times ^ | 6 Nov 09 | Sheila McNulty and Harvey Morris

Barack Obama cautioned a stunned public on Friday against drawing quick conclusions on a shooting rampage by an officer at a Texas military base that killed 13 people.

The president made the comments as the commander of Fort Hood, the US’s largest base for deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, quoted witnesses as saying the suspected gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted the Muslim declaration “Allahu Akbar” – God is great – as he opened fire. Speaking at the White House, Mr Obama said: “We don’t know all the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”

Obozo’s acting “stupidly” again. Just like when he jumped to conclusions about the Cambridge police and that race-baiter Gates.

Why weren't flags at half mast today like they were when Ted "Chappaquidick" Kennedy died?

Exactly!

Obama should just pretend that a white cop arrested his buddy and then we’ll see some real righteous presidential anger.

Until then, Obama will just sit on his hands, whether it’s Iranians being shot in their streets or US servicemen being gunned down on US soil.

FYBHO!

As time goes by the conclusion becomes inescapable that McCain lost on purpose. How else can you explain losing an election to someone so far left as this? So un-American? So anti-America?

These soldiers were murdered by a moslum coward who committed this heinous act in the name of his filthy religion.
And that's EXACTLY the conclusion our Muslim Coward President Obama wants you NOT to "jump to", since it will reflect poorly on his filthy religion.

Because the dead soldiers aren't commies, traitors and murderers? (just a guess)

Hasan is on a ventilator, comatose. Pull the plug on the bastard.

Not so fast. He's showing improvement. Two days ago, he was dead for 8 hours.

Besides, I don't want this guy dying until he sits up and tells the feckless media and this president what the rest of America already knows..."Hell yes I'm a jihadist, Allah be praised." Without that, their PC spin will become the historical record.

Then he can die.

I remember what he (Obama/Ayers) said in his book. ‘If it came down to it, he would STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS’.

I can go along with that. Good plan.
