Ft. Hood Terrorist Supported 9/11 Terrorists
So we learn, not from any American news outlet, but from across the pond at the Telegraph:
The London Telegraph has the bombshell report on Ft. Hood jihadist Nidal Hassan’s ties to the September 11 terrorists.What did Obama know, and when did he know it? Read the Telegraph to find out:
Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year. The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.People seem to forget that we are at war. Has our President? UPDATE: Meanwhile, a classy former President does the right thing:
The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News. Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent "considerable time" consoling those who were wounded in Thursday's shooting spree, Fox News has learned.And, what of our present President?:
11:25AM THE PRESIDENT addresses the House Democratic Caucus - Cannon House Office Building 2:30PM THE PRESIDENT makes a statement to the press on Health Care - Rose Garden 2:45PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart The White House en route Camp David - South LawnA little politics, then off for some R&R at Camp David. Nothing happened in Texas -- pay no attention. Even the Boston Globe notes the "delayed empathy." UPDATE II: And now the Washington Post is disingenuously confused (emphasis added):
Then he walked downstairs, through the grassy courtyard, stepped into his silver Honda Civic and drove to Fort Hood. Four hours later, he allegedly opened fire in the Soldier Readiness Center in a rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 38, the deadliest shooting ever on a U.S. military installation.More here.
