Obama urges Congress to put off Fort Hood probe
2009-11-15
An A-Pee article. Click to read the whole thing. Here are a couple of clips from it:

On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater." He said those who died on the nation's largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft.
If W said this, I'd believe it. W did not say this.
Lawmakers, however, already have announced they want their own investigations and were frustrated with what they view as a less-than-forthcoming administration.
And our lawmakers ought to know "less-than-forthcoming" when they see it.

#11  IMHO lethal injection on death row in HuntsviLe, TX is inappropriate

Just give him a tat of the Tri-City Bombers and let him loose in the general population at Huntsville. He'll end up like Price in Stalag 13.

#10  to "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater."

It's obvious he wants to save the 'political theater' for the KSM trial.

#9  IMHO lethal injection on death row in HuntsviLe, TX is inappropriate. A firing squad consisting of the same number of people Hasan shot executing him in a facility large enough to hold the entire 3rd armored division, with the opportunity given to the female officer to fire one more lethal round for grins makes more sense to me...

#7  The governor could go for charges in the killing of the civilians. Let DoD explain why they won't allow that since they have a policy of deferring to civilian courts in other cases when its not a uniform on uniform crime. Texas does carry out the death penalty.

#6  Perry is taking the Feds to the woodshed just like NY Police Commissioner Kelly did and is doing to the FBI; namely, proclaiming, "we can't trust you to do the right thing or protect us".

#5  Texas Governor Rick Perry said the day after the massacre that Tecas would carry out its own investigation because I am sure that Perry knew immediately that Husseins regime was a jihadist's dream come true.

What's the chance they'll receive it from Eric Holder?
