Obama urges delay for Congressional Investigation into Ft Hood - why?

Tweet

Why doesn't Obama want Congress to investigate the shooting at Ft Hood? He says he wants to avoid "political theater" and political "stagecraft". If that is true, why is he bringing KSM and the 9/11 conspirators to New York for a splashy trial? It's the equivalent of opening on Broadway, don't you think? The defense for KSM will get during discovery all sorts of classified information and they get to make the CIA and the interrogators look sadistic and cruel. What a show! So why no theater for Ft Hood? Well, I have compiled a multiple choice list of possible reasons: 1. Exposing the debacle that was this investigation into Hasan will show that the FBI, the CIA and the Military had their hands tied by a fear of retribution or charges of discrimination if they pursued this case because Hasan is a Muslim. 2. Diversity is more important than national security. 3. It might make people nervous that Obama appointed a devout Muslim as Asst Secretary of Homeland Security. 4. Obama is convinced that the post-tragedy investigations by the army and the FBI will be much more thorough than their pre-tragedy investigations which allowed the tragedy to happen in the first place. 5. He's still trying to think up a way to blame this on the Bush administration. 6. He fears we might all get pre-traumatic stress syndrome from hearing the details and it could cause more tragedy as a result. 7. He doesn't want Congress distracted from his primary goals, such as health care reform. After all, more uninsured illegal aliens are dying in the streets than soldiers died at Ft. Hood. 8. This is just too darned embarrassing in the face of all his apologies to Muslim countries for America's aggression. 9. He's full of crap. 10. All of the above.
