Did Obama ignore a PDB saying the guy in Ft. Hood was going to shoot and kill people?

[jenmito]

Just wondering since some people on tv are starting to call this a "terrorist attack on Obama's watch" as if it was HIS fault in any way. Not to mention everyone who's calling it a "terrorist attack" in the FIRST place.

[Arkana]

1. Of course they are--because clearly Obama's Negro wizard powers

should have informed him that a crazy guy at Fort Hood was going to shoot up the place.

[jenmito]

2. Especially since they're both Muslims and all.

:sarcasm: of course.

[HopeOverFear]

3. ROFLMAO @ Negro wizard powers

OMG :rofl:

[timeforpeace]

9. Thank goodness it's us and not a right winger saying that! That would be racist.

[timeforpeace]

11. Nor fair, Bush wouldn't have been blamed if it happened on his watch.

[jenmito]

12. Arkana was obviously being sarcastic. n/t

[Cha]

17. Oh, get a grip.

[Arkana]

22. You do know I was being sarcastic, right?

Obviously not.

[HopeOverFear]

35. it was sarcasm, dumbass

:eyes:

[27inCali]

37. me too!

[damonm]

38. Wow, you ARE a sarcastic SOB...

No wonder I like you...
:hug:

[Hippo_Tron]

43. You know what's funny is that I can totally picture OxyRush actually saying that

[Cha]

4. If The Doctor is a Terrorist than why did the military

harbor him?

[bigwillq]

5. It's Obama's military

Commander-in-Chief.

Although I do not believe this is Obama's fault.

[Cha]

7. President Obama was not on that base

having any encounters with the Dr..nor was he aware of his history.

[bigwillq]

14. I know.

But if the Dr. is a terrorist, and the military harbored him, then Obama, as CIC, is harboring the Dr. as well.

[Cha]

15. It's not what happens it's how you handle it and I have no doubt

that with the President at the helm that it will be taken care of with the utmost intelligence.

[bigwillq]

27. I think so too.

He said on ABC news that he will get to the bottom of this.

[jenmito]

10. Unless Obama was alerted about this guy's statements/behavior, it CAN'T be

Obama's fault. And it's apples and oranges to Bush ignoring warnings about 9/11.

[bigwillq]

13. I know it's not Obama's fault (nt)

[4lbs]

6. I would put a lot of it on that Army Colonel who directly witnessed Hasan's comments months ago, but

did nothing about it. Didn't report him, or launch any investigation.

[Cha]

8. Yeah..not good.

[impik]

16. Here

WASHINGTON – The Army psychiatrist accused of the Fort Hood massacre apparently acted alone and without outside direction in the attack, investigative officials said Monday evening.

[Cha]

18. Then, no matter what joe LIEberman says

and the corporatemediawhores..he's not a terrorist.

[renman59]

20. .

So he suffers from hate crimes? Sheesh.

[jenmito]

19. Thanks, impik. Can I put it in my OP?

:hi:

[impik]

26. Sure. Sorry about the terrible link

[jenmito]

34. Darn, it's too late now. Oh, well, people will still see your post.

:hi:

[LiberalFighter]

21. It's Rush Windbags fault. He incited his listeners which also included this nutcase.

[jenmito]

23. I saw that reported on MSNBC today. He's NUTS!

[Aramchek]

24. this was no terrorist. He was a Major. He had been in the Army for years.

[jenmito]

25. I know, but Lieberman and other RWers don't.

[Aramchek]

28. we could fill the ocean with what they don't know.

[jenmito]

30. True.

[Diamonique]

29. When the guy shot up the students at the college in.. Virginia was it?...

... did they call that a terrorist attack and blame Bush for it?

A crazy is a crazy... not a terrorist.

[jenmito]

32. It wasn't a Muslim so it doesn't count...

obviously. :sarcasm:

[bigwillq]

33. There are some reports

that Hasan had contact with radical muslim leaders. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=acXgsgpHTiOE&pos=9

[PurityOfEssence]

31. People have a bizarre belief in the inherent tidiness of life

Considering the basic level of insanity, selfishness, violence, privilege and supernatural certainty that's rife in the human critter, it's a wonder things like this don't happen every day.

Hmmm...when you think about it, they DO happen pretty much every day; this was just a bigger than usual one with some VERY newsworthy elements to it. For some reason, people think psychiatrists and clergypeople are somewhat more noble than the average person; that's why this seems to stand out. To many of us, many people from these two groups stand out as batshit crazy and full of their own importance, so it's not such a surprise.

Things like this are going to happen, and it's hardly our President's fault.

One of the more irritating aspects of the human condition is the ridiculous need to force everything into some kind of simplicity. We just don't fit.

[CakeGrrl]

36. The Repubs would love nothing more than to minimize their own party's failures

Nixon resigns under threat of impeachment for committing some real crimes? Gotta gin up some flimsy charges as an excuse to impeach Clinton.

Bush ignores real intel and 9/11 happens on his watch? Gotta find something to pin on President Obama.

They're nothing if not predictable. And despicable.

[Arugula Latte]

39. He got a big memo saying: "Nidal Malik Hasan Determined to Strike in US"

Sadly, I will probably have to include this:
:sarcasm:

[Avalux]

40. "Some People" on TV will say ANYTHING to hurt Obama. n/t

[Baltoman991]

41. I just want

one of those fucking idiots on tv and in Congress who are calling this a terrorist attack to tell me one thing.

Did they fucking consider it a terrorist attack when another Muslim soldier in the United States army rolled those grenades into the tent where his squad was sleeping?

I can answer that, NO they didn't. So what the fuck is the difference here? I think the answer to that one is pretty damn obvious.

[rug]

42. Hasan texted Obama's Blackberry and told him.

[Politicalboi]

44. Obama had his family at the WH the day of attack!

Oh wait, that was bin Laden and Bush. Nothing to see here.
