President Intimates Fort Hood Massacre Was an Act of Terrorism

During his remarks at Ford Hood yesterday President Obama gave some clear indications that he believes the Fort Hood massacre was in fact an act of terrorism. The President said specifically, “But this much we do know -- no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor.” This is a clear sign of where the Administration’s thinking is on Hasan’s motive and given the massive amount of information in the press about Hasan’s actions and connections, albeit sometimes conflciting; the case for this being classified as the worst act of terrorism in America since 9/11 is rapdily growing. Hopefully, we will get more definitive answers next week at the Senate hearings, which should cover Hasan’s words and deeds over the years, what our governemnt knew about him, and what our government did or did not do as a result of what it knew.
