Joe Lieberman may subpoena the Pentagon and the FBI over the Fort Hood terrorist attack

  When the Pentagon released its report on the Fort Hood terrorist attack they left out a few words that would have accurately described what happened on that day. The Pentagon report never mentions the terms “radical Islamist” or “terrorist.”

  Everybody– including the president– knows that this was a terrorist attack, yet the Pentagon refused to call this attack what it was. When the president first spoke about the attack he warned people not to jump to conclusions about the motivation behind this attack. At that time he knew that this was a terrorist attack by a radicalized Muslim, but he was unwilling to admit it– and to this day he still hasn’t admitted it. The all too willing media was happy to oblige him as they have also never mentioned that the attack was a terrorist attack on American soil.

Contrast that with the Hutaree FBI raid. The media had no problem referring to this group as a Christian militia group over and over again. Why was the president not out in front of the cameras asking the media not to jump to conclusions? In the first case we have an actual shooting spree that was perpetrated by a radicalized Muslim, in the later we have a case of a plan that was being hatched by radicalized Christians. Yet in one case the religion is off limits while in the other it is seen as a chance to taint all members of that religion.

  But I got off track there, the point of this post wasn’t supposed to be about the media bias or about the president’s bias. The point of this post  is the fact the Pentagon’s failure to mention radical Islam has upset Joe Lieberman— who is the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee– as well as Susan Collins, who is a ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

  Here is what Joe Lieberman had to say about the Pentagon report:

I was startled and really upset that in the whole report that Secretary [Togo] West and Adm. [Vernon] Clark did on this Ft. Hood massacre, they never used the terms radical Islamist extremism or violent Islamic terrorism

It’s known to anybody following your media outlets … [that] this was not just a random killing,” Lieberman said, adding that the Ft. Hood shooter, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, “was motivated ideologically and shouted out such words as he committed these, these murders

  Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins held a joint press conference and they claimed that the Obama administration is obstructing the committee’s probe into the Fort Hood terrorist attack and vowed to subpoena both the Pentagon and the FBI if they do not provide documents related to the attack by April 19th, which just happens to be today.

  This story is far from over and as much as Barack Obama hopes that it will go away, it won’t. This administration is deliberately trying to hide the fact that the Fort Hood attack was an act of terrorism against America. They hope that by not mentioning the truth they will create a new reality.

  Hopefully Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins will have the courage to persue this issue to its conclusion. I know that I have my doubts about these two, they have let me down in the past. Although it seems as if it would be hard for them to back down now, we have seen that Barack Obama has ways of “convincing” people to come over to his side.
