Our "President" Obama and his Islamic loving appointed jerk-offs (especially Atty Gen. Eric Holder and DHS Napolitano) need to be sent down the road - all of them. If this "report" is anything like Peter's statements below - it's treason at best.
Subject: Hood massacre report gutless and shameful

Boy, do I ever agree with Mr. Peters.

There are two basic problems with the grotesque
non-report on the Islamist- terror massacre at Fort Hood
(released by the Defense Department yesterday):
* It's not about what happened at Fort Hood.
* It avoids entirely the issue of why it happened.
Rarely in the course of human events has a report
issued by any government agency been so cowardly and
delusional. It's so inept, it doesn't even rise to cover-up
level.
"Protecting the Force: Lessons From Fort Hood" never
mentions Islamist terror. Its 86 mind-numbing pages treat
"the alleged perpetrator," Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, as just
another workplace shooter (guess they're still looking for
the pickup truck with the gun rack).
The report is so politically correct that its authors
don't even realize the extent of their political correctness
-- they're body-and-soul creatures of the PC culture that
murdered 12 soldiers and one Army civilian.
Reading the report, you get the feeling that, jeepers,
things actually went pretty darned well down at Fort Hood.
Commanders, first responders and everybody but the latest
"American Idol" contestants come in for high praise.
The teensy bit of specific criticism is reserved for
the "military medical officer supervisors" in Maj. Hasan's
chain of command at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. As
if the problem started and ended there.
Unquestionably, the officers who let Hasan slide,
despite his well-known wackiness and hatred of America, bear
plenty of blame. But this disgraceful pretense of a report
never asks why they didn't stop Hasan's career in its
tracks.
The answer is straightforward: Hasan's superiors
feared -- correctly -- that any attempt to call attention to
his radicalism or to prevent his promotion would backfire on
them, destroying their careers, not his.
Hasan was a protected-species minority. Under the PC
tyranny of today's armed services, no non-minority officer
was going to take him on.
This is a military that imposes rules of engagement
that protect our enemies and kill our own troops and that
court-martials heroic SEALs to appease a terrorist. Ain't
many colonels willing to hammer the Army's sole
Palestinian-American psychiatrist.
Of course, there's no mention of political correctness
by the panel. Instead, the report settles for blinding
flashes of the obvious, such as "We believe a gap exists in
providing information to the right people." Gee, really?
Well, that explains everything. Money well spent!
Or "Department of Defense force protection policies
are not optimized for countering internal threats." Of
course not: You can't stop an internal threat you refuse to
recognize.
The panel's recommendations? Wow. "Develop a
risk-assessment tool for commanders." Now that's going to
stop Islamist terrorists in their tracks.
The Fort Hood massacre didn't reflect an intelligence
failure. The intelligence was there, in gigabytes. This was
a leadership failure and an ethical failure, at every level.
Nobody wanted to know what Hasan was up to. But you won't
learn that from this play-pretend report.
The sole interesting finding flashes by quickly:
Behind some timid wording on pages 13 and 14, a daring soul
managed to insert the observation that we aren't currently
able to keep violence-oriented religious extremists from
becoming chaplains. (Of course, they're probably referring
to those darned Baptists . . .)
To be fair, there's a separate, classified report on
Maj. Hasan himself. But it's too sensitive for the American
people to see. Does it even hint he was a self-appointed
Islamist terrorist committing jihad? I'll bet it focuses on
his "personal problems."
In the end, the report contents itself with pretending
that the accountability problem was isolated within the
military medical community at Walter Reed. It wasn't, and it
isn't. Murderous political correctness is pervasive in our
military. The medical staff at Walter Reed is just where the
results began to manifest themselves in Hasan's case.
Once again, the higher-ups blame the worker bees who
were victims of the policy the higher-ups inflicted on them.
This report's spinelessness is itself an indictment of our
military's failed moral and ethical leadership.
We agonize over civilian casualties in a war zone but
rush to whitewash the slaughter of our own troops on our own
soil. Conduct unbecoming.
