parabellum I suppose that given a choice, he wouldn't have even mentioned it. But we have to keep up the pretenses after all. Now that the perfunctory platitudes are over, let's turn this into a renewed outrage centering on gun control. Don't let any disaster go to waste now.

Ft. Hood Shooting: Bookerista Perspectives
Booker Rising —
An American army major went on a shooting rampage today at a Texas military base killing 11 people and wounding 31 others before being gunned down, army officials said. Two other soldiers were arrested after the shooting spree and were being held as suspects, said Lieutenant General Bob Cone, commander at Fort Hood, the largest U.S. military base in the world. The major was identified by U.S. officials as a military psychiatrist named either Malik Nadal Hasan or Nidal Malik Hasan. He was about to be deployed to Iraq. Hasan opened fire with two handguns in a busy processing center where troops go for medical check-ups before being deployed on overseas missions in Iraq ...
Obama Sure Does Love Terrorists and Hate US Soldiers, No?
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS —
October 18th: Obama immediately condemns attack on Iranian Revolutionary Guards, which cannot arguably be considered an act of terrorism, since Iran's regime is illegitimate, its power not deriving from the consent of the governed. November 5th: Obama gives a three-minute shout-out before not even euphemistically addressing the Islamic terrorist attack committed against our own soldiers on US soil. 157 days later, Obama still has yet to condemn the Islamic terrorist attack on US soil in which Pvt. Andrew William Long was murdered in cold blood by another ...

Can you imagine the revulsion that would have swept the nation if George W. Bush had, say, mentioned a spree-killing after giving a “shout-out” to some bureaucratic conference? I never did hear what percentage of active-duty soldiers voted for Obama, but I can’t imagine he’s converted a hell of a lot. Note that I’m not bagging on what the President actually said. Just comparing and contrasting. This entry was posted by by Mitch Berg on Friday, November 6th, 2009 at 6:31 am and is filed under Uncategorized ...

Here's some of the stuff overheard in conversations about the statement: "This video makes me want to puke.""I will admit that the words, "rot in Hell you sorry excuse for a CinC" came to mind""Yeah - when he actually referred to his responsibility as CinC, I gagged.""My first thoughts were “what an entirely inappropriate comment for the President of the USA to make concerning what appears to be an act of terrorism.” He is so unbelievably stupid...

At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian affairs, ...
"Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting"
Commonsense & Wonder —
Looks like people are getting a peak behind the curtain. There is no there there: President Obama didn't wait long after Tuesday's devastating elections to give critics another reason to question his leadership, but this time the subject matter was more grim than a pair of governorships. After news broke out of the shooting at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas, the nation watched in horror as the toll of dead and injured climbed. The White House was notified immediately and by late afternoon, word went out that the ...

On the Fort Hood killing rampage
Stones Cry Out —
A few thoughts, stemming from the murderous rampage at Fort Hood.
***
While some are cautioning us to not immediately make a radical Muslim connection with the fact that the alleged killer is an Arab American, one has to wonder at how quickly the label “Right-Wing-Extremist” would have been applied had the mass murderer been white.
***
It appears that the alleged killer was stopped by shots fired from a civilian police officer. Per CNN,
A civilian police officer who shot the Fort Hood gunman four times during his bloody rampage stopped the attacker cold, a U.S. Army official said Friday.

The Jawa Report:
The person President Obama gave a “shout-out” to in his banter before his “address” to the nation regarding the Ft. Hood attack yesterday was Joe Medicine Crow.
Obama wanted to thank that “Congressional Medal of Honor winner” for showing up at the very important, very vital conference Obama was attending (skip to 0:56).
Only one problem -Joe Medicine Crow didn’t win the Congressional Medal of Honor. He won the Presidential Medal of Freedom (given to him by Obama, no less) and the Congressional Gold Medal. ...
Obama Doesn’t Let Ft. Hood Tragedy Get In The Way Of Political Pandering

When I watched this live yesterday, my mouth dropped. Our president’s priorities are certainly transparent. Can you imagine Bush doing something like this on 9/11? He would have rightly been eviscerated.

Obama’s Weird “Shout Out”

You’ve all seen this by now, Obama went before the media, yesterday with some prepared remarks after attending a Tribal Conference.

Instead he bantered light-heartedly for two minutes ...

During the terrorist slaughter at Fort Hood, police officer Sgt. Kimberly Denise Munley acted heroically and saved the lives of many:
She Ran to Gunfire, and Ended It
The police officer who brought down a gunman after he went on a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood Army base here was on the way to have her car repaired when she responded to a police radio report of gunfire at a center where soldiers are processed before being sent overseas, the authorities said Friday.
As she pulled up to the center, the officer, Sgt. Kimberly Denise Munley, spotted the gunman, later identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, brandishing a ...

A Tale of Obama's reactions to Two Shootings
Hyscience —
There is, indeed, a remarkable and telling difference: [...] Obama's remarks upon hearing that abortionist George Tiller was shot--- "I am shocked and outraged" contrasted with his statement on the news that 12 unarmed soldiers were gunned down at Ft. Hood Army Post: "I would caution against jumping to conclusions" about the motives of the gunman.
Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says her Department is now working to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday's rampage by a Muslim soldier. This is the same Napolitano that issued a report earlier this year cautioning against the domestic threats of "right-wing ...
