They want to say that Obama didn't keep us safe.

30. He is saying this is the worst TERRORIST
attack on American soil since 9/11. You are 100% correct he is trying to flame President Obama. And if Reid don't sink his a** I really hope he looses in the next election.

3. They desperately want him to be as big a failure as Bush.
So everything that happens will be equated with Bush's failures.

7. That's where this is going. However, if the US military can't even protect its bases, then to me,
the military failed again. So why do we spend $700 billion a year on it?

9. It was a terrorist attack,but how do you stop a lone gunman willing to die?
One of the wounded soldiers said the shooter was yelling "Allah Akbar".

10. We must have ongong "Terror Cry" to explain why we must stay at
war.
Over the last months Americans have become war weary and
want to bring our troops home. The Hawks in both parties
need an excuse as to why we are staying for years to come.

Oh My Gosh, the Terrorists have infiltrated our Military.
Get those 40,000 troops to McCrystal. NOW

13. Has nothing to do with Obama
whether it was or wasn't a terrorist attack. I don't believe it was a terrorist attack, but I haven't paid too much attention to the story, so I don't know all the details.

22. Bush and his administration
are the only ones to blame for 9-11. And sorry if my last post was silly, I told you I wasn't paying too much attention! :)

24. I know that.
Bush knows that - but he said the CIA and other agencies did "not connect the dots".

17. Well...
..it WAS a terrorist attack. Just not one organized by some international entity.

However...it had fuck all to do with President Obama or his ability to keep us safe.

An individual that is willing to exchange his life for another is almost impossible to stop.

Just because someone that we despise or distrust makes a statement does not mean that it is false. Their underlying motivation may be offensive, but the fact still remains.

23. Well said. Even slimy Joe L. can still be correct on occasion
He's still a dickhead, just one who had a 'broken clock' moment in this case.

18. They Would Be Wrong!

1) He joined the military under Bush. So if any President is to blame, it's Bush.

2) If a terrorist attack did happen from within the military how is that Obama's fault, he does not recruit them, or screen them, or have anything to do with who the military sign up.

3) It's insane to blame the President (Democrat or Republican) for a shooting by a military man. It would just make you look like a fool.

Most likely they just want to call it a terrorist attack (by a muslim) to make all muslims look like terrorists. And the next step will be a call to ban any muslim from serving in the military. I doubt anyone would blame it on Obama, if they do, they should be locked in a padded room with Glenn Beck.

19. Whatever the cause of the violent outburst
the war-machine owned and operated MSM would call it a terrorist attack. I'm surprised they're not making a much bigger deal than they are, claiming Muslims are hiding in every living room in the nation.

Apparently, if you go off your rocker and you are Middle Eastern or Muslim, regardless of who, why and how many people you kill, you are a terrorist on a jihad. While it may be the case here, I haven't seen the evidence to support a conclusion, but hey... who needs evidence. The TV and newspaper says it's true.

War Inc. has pretty good PR people, they make people ask to send their own sons to die and kill for whatever reason they can find. In truth, it's always about the resources, whether it's Standard Oil or United Fruit. It's never been about protecting you. In his case, just like in the fight against communism, you can't destroy an ideology with bombs no matter how many you drop. Blowing a man's brains out does nothing to destroy the thoughts once held therein.

It's a continuous single war on Earth that they are either waging, or preparing for. In my opinion, if we have resources they want, there will certainly come a time when their guns are aimed at us.

That would impinge on their media control.

28. Just as the people who want to insist that it was NOT a terrorist attack
Don't want anyone to be able to say that a terrorist attack happened on Obama's watch.

Whether or not it was a terrorist attack may become clear as Major Hasan is interviewed.

29. Yep. *AND* they can bring out the old sawhorse that Clinton gutted the military,
and even His Savior George Dubya couldn't fix it properly in eight years, because of the damage Clinton did to it.
