Obama Admin Argues Fort Hood Massacre Is Merely ‘Workplace Violence’


Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation’s Armed Forces at home.

During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.

Thirteen people were killed and dozens more wounded at Fort Hood in 2009, and the number of alleged plots targeting the military has grown significantly since then. Lawmakers said there have been 33 plots against the U.S. military since Sept. 11, 2001, and 70 percent of those threats have been since mid-2009. Major Nidal Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, who is being held for the attacks, allegedly was inspired by radical U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in late September. The two men exchanged as many as 20 emails, according to U.S. officials, and Awlaki declared Hasan a hero.

    Islam has declared war on America years ago. Everyone with any sense at all knows this. Obama is a Mus-lim. period. No ifs, buts, or maybes. His Grandfather, his Father, his Step-Father. Were ALL AMERICA HATING MUS-LIMS. Don't Ask me about his White Mother. Who cares anyway. It's again time to look at Obamas associates, and THEIR outlook of America. That POS Wright, Ayers, All those Rag-Head leaders in the Middle East. America, Too many Americans died for this Greatest of All Nations to let this Kenyan, Lying, Mus-lim POS destroy it. The Lying Dirtbag and his entire America Hating Administration MUST GO. And the "Lib-Tards" and RINO's in Congress too. Please don't show any respect at all for those Scum-Bags, they don't deserve it.

    No, the Fort Hood massacre was not “workplace violence.” It was a Jihad attack by a traitorous Muslim against his own country. Hasan identified himself on his business card as SOA, a Soldier of Allah. Hasan’s first loyalty was to Islam, like all Islamic Jihadists, not to his country. The gutless wonders at the Defense Department who agreed with the “workplace violence” description should be terminated. We can’t defeat our Islamic Jihadist enemies when our military and the Obama administration refuse to identify the enemy.

    USING OBAMA'S LOGIC THE 911 ATTACTS WHERE MERELY WORKPLACE BIOLENCE- EVERONE THAT WAS KILLED WAS AT WORK. MAY OBAMA NEED TO SEE HIS VERSION OF WORK PLACE VIOLLENCE IN PERSON, THEN MAY HOULD UNSERSTAND FORT HOOD WAS AN ACT OF WAR.

    If a Christian goes to an abortion clinic to protest, he will now be classified as an enemy combatant with no Constitutional rights.

    If a Muslim kills American soldiers on a military base, it is workplace violence.

    If a Jew gets killed in the Middle East, WE NEED A WAR!!!!

    Bullshight mr president hassan asked for help numerous times and wasnt given any because your political views and eggshell prevented it. Get off your high horse and admit politics do not belong in the military policy.Congress would bend over backwards the waythey do if they didnt have to deal with it either. The fear of reprisal is so obvious because this was an issue that made the headlines. Had they addressed the issue i dont think those people would have died. He would have been relieved of duty and gone on with his own thing…even though im not too sure what that was.

    I had just retired here at Ft Hood Nov 1 2009 and can tell you it felt more like a radical muslim terrorist attack than workplace violence. Then when O decided to come here and give his speech they had to erect a safe zone. I wonder if they were worried about some retaliatory strike?
    The Major still draws a military check and has the government footing the bill for his defense. Is there any question of guilt? Send the piece of garbage to whatever maker he has.

    These kinds of idiotic decisions made throughout our government illustrate why it is imperitive that Obama and all his radical socialists must be removed from government and soon. They are infiltrating every aspect of our lives and government. I fear that we are on the brink of being too late to save our country.

    These kinds of ridiculous decisions illustrate why it is imperative that our president and all his socialist pals must be removed from our government. We are on the brink of completely losing control of our country.

    An Army Post an Air Force Base a Coast Guard Station all of these should be one of the safest places in the world to work. If Ft. Hood is an example of work place violence then I guess I am just dumb.

    Revisionism is the act of changing history by altering facts to begin bending the truth towards whatever it is you want the masses to believe. How many children are taught the 2nd Amendment in schools? What? You didn't know that public schools are leaving the 2nd Amendment out of their lessons? They are also starting their "American History" in 1865. What revolution? George who? Teach your children at home and be really selective about what university they attend; or they might end up in an Obama re-election office.

    The future Republican nominee and political election campaign would be foolish for not jumping on this pathetic White House Obama response to the Fort Hood massacre. They'd be foolish a hundred times over for not producing a campaign TV Network ad criticizing Obama for his anti-American and unpatriotic response……..
