Obama urges delay for Congressional Investigation into Ft Hood - why?  email this discussion to a friend?

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.

We can't see his long form birth certificate but his actions tells the tale where his heart of hearts lays and it dam sure is not with the American people.
Obama dam sure did not mind making a freak show over a dam beer shared at the white house when he ole pal ended up behind bars at his local jail,go figure, and you come up with anti-American Barack Obama.

He didn't have a problem with a rush to judgment in the case of the Gates incident, but he cautions us not to jump to conclusions about Ft. Hood. In the one case, he was sure the white cop was wrong without hearing any of the details, in the other, we all know who had the gun and who fired the shots and why he did it, but Obama doesn't want us to know.

Any Congressional Investigation will not help him and could only show how wrong the direction he is taking the country is. Everything he does is to benefit him and his policies.

He's had them busy investigating why the CIA claiming that they used torture to procure information from terrorists and investigating their harsh and inhumane techniques. It would be embarrassing for an investigation show they were being too wishy-washy instead. It would show that this vendetta against our security agencies was having a deleterious effect - all due to Obama and Pelosi.

Absolutely, definitely and undeniable I choose Number 10. All of the above. Each of these reasons only goes to show that Obummer is as a devout Muslim as his Asst Secretary of Homeland Security.

Again proving the truth of his written words: From Audacity of hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the winds shift in an ugly direction.


myLot reputation of 79/100. Rollo1 (2827)   ranked 89 out of 3,986 in politics  3 years ago

I think number 10 is a good bet.

6. He fears we might all get pre-traumatic stress syndrome from hearing the details and it could cause more tragedy as a result.

lollol

If it happened anywhere else, it would have been blamed on the gun. So this pre-trauma is new... and tired as all get out already yawn

Hmmm.... I wonder if he thought of blaming the gun.

Funnily enough, this gun violence is having the opposite effect of most gun violence. They are now discussing having soldiers carry weapons on base.

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. Or that it all was ALLOWED to happen on purpose so he could have an excuse to take even more rights away from the American people, or maybe he wants and excuse to tie the hands of patriotic military personel?.

2. Diversity is more important than national security. I don't think diversity is really all that important to Obama...afterall, the current thinking is if you're not liberal democrat, you are not American anymore. So much for diversity.

3. It might make people nervous that Obama appointed a devout Muslim as Asst Secretary of Homeland Security. He's not nervous, he's a narcissist, they're never nervous or concerned they might have done wrong, cause they can't be wrong. EVER.

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.Since he doesn't apparently view it as a tragedy, I doubt this one. Besides, as I said above, narcissists don't care about the feelings of others.

5. He's still trying to think up a way to blame this on the Bush administration.This one is plausible, he blames everything else that's taken place since Nov. 4, 2008 on Bush.

6. He fears we might all get pre-traumatic stress syndrome from hearing the details and it could cause more tragedy as a result. Again, he has no empathy.

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. You may have something here.

8. This is just too darned embarrassing in the face of all his apologies to Muslim countries for America's aggression. Or he might be thinking of those Quran verses that promise death to anyone who fights against a fellow Muslim.

9. He's full of crap. Yep!

10. All of the above.

I steer clear of the allowed on purpose theories, because it sounds like the 9/11 truthers, but by restricting the investigation of ANYONE because of ethnicity or religious views, is pretty much allowing them to continue on their merry path.

I don't think diversity is important to Obama, either. But it's important to him that we think it's important enough to forego important security measures. Political correctness and the fear of offending anyone is more important apparently that protecting our nation and it citizens and its military personnel.

This tragedy is made worse by knowing that it could have been prevented and wasn't.

I have some pretty convincing evidence that the government knew an attack was coming and even down to the day it would happen, and how it would happen. Not from so called 'conspiracy' websites either. But from the mainstream media and government itself. If you'd like to look into it...and I didn't for many years...cause of the emotional turmoil I knew it would put me in...but I'd be happy to share them. If you want....send me your email by PM...most of them are pdf files.

You do remember what came out about Pearl Harbor, don't you? FDR aggravated an already touchy situation with the Japanese...caused them to want war with us. Allowed spies to go unhindered and reduced the protection around Pearl Harbor...and did nothing to stop an attack. Just so we could go to war. There is proof this happened with WWI as well...the sinking of the Lusitania was no accidental thing.
