The massacre at Ft Hood was an act of domestic Islamic terrorism.
Hasan wrote and spoke about his approval of suicide bombings. He spoke out vehemently against U.S. war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq. He attended mosques that routinely spout anti-American pro-Islamic Terrorists propaganda. He emailed a known AL Qaeda recruiter in Yemen about 20 times according to an ABC report.
The FBI and the military had all of this information but they failed to act and protect this country against this domestic Islamic terrorist.
Evidently, the lessons of 9/11 have not been learned well enough.
There is also the contributory factor of "political correctness" that likely caused pause within the FBI, and perhaps Army Intelligence, in taking action that might be viewed by the Obama administration as ethnic or religious profiling. Examples of actions by the Obama administration that reinforce such "political correctness" :
1. Obama announcing the closing of GITMO and treating captured Islamic Terrorist combatants as civilian law breakers
2. Deleting the War of terrorism from the federal vocabulary and referring to the wars as criminal acts or man-made disasters
3. Eric Holder investigating, and possibly prosecuting, CIA for aggressive interrogation of terrorists, when such interrogations actually averted attacks on the U.S. and loss of life
4. Eric Holder refusing to prosecute Black Panthers who intimidated voters in Philadelphia
5. Obama apologizing in Cairo to the Muslim world for past U.S. actions and attitudes toward Islam,
6. Obama lashing out at the Cambridge cop in the Black Harvard professor incident
7. Janet Napolitano stating after the Ft. Hood attack that she was most worried about a backlash against Muslims in this country instead of being most worried about protecting the homeland from domestic and foreign enemies like Hasan.
Today, at the Ft Hood service for those murdered, Obama referred to the act as "a tragedy", never once acknowledging it was an act of Islamic terrorism.
The Army failed, the FBI failed and Obama failed these victims.
