Hoekstra - political hooker, full of strawmen!

This man should die!! He is an absolutel evil mother fucker.

It was only a matter of time before one of the Rs spouted this bile. I'm surprised they waited this long.

Sadly, there are always people stupid enough to vote for these clowns. They don't seem to get how we're all laughing at anyone who would vote for this moron. These ignorant bastards are also forgetting a simple fact. Hasan showed signs of the crazy while under the Bush administration. He was promoted under the Bush administration and the people who even thought he was crazy never documented it so, when they FBI checked his files there was nothing there. Again, all this under Bush. This guy wanted out but, they wouldn't let him out and he murdered all of those innocent people but, for this ass to try and blame this on Obama is truely pathetic. The GOP has Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Since Pete-ee should be under indictment soon for violation of the State Secrets Act by disclosing traveling diplomats exact locations in Iraq and other War Zones as well as compromising intelligence "methods and sources" in disclosing specifics on the telephone tracking of clerics in Yemen with regard the Fort Hood suspect, he's trying to deflect some of the pressure from himself. It won't work...The Federal Marshalls are coming for you moron.

determine whether the intelligence community needs enhanced tools to combat terror

Except this wasn't terrorism. This was a premeditated attack on legitimate military targets - an act of war, not terror. If Republicans conflate the two, then they are making the argument that we are engaged in terrorism whenever we use our military for any purpose other than rendering humanitarian aid.

The Ft. Hood shooter is not a terrorist. As a commissioned officer in the United States Army, he is a traitor, and should stand trial in a court martial for treason.

KSM et al by comparison, are not 'war criminals' - they are not legitimate legal combatants engaging legitimate military targets - they are terrorists, and terrorism is fundamentally using acts of assault, murder, and mayhem to commit extortion. Civil courts are the correct venue for such criminal behavior.

Never let it be said that republicans can never find a democrat(or a president)to blame for ANYTHING that happens on the face of the earth.

Pathetic. But realistic.

Major Nidal Husan
MM MM MM
He killed a bunch of Army guy in cold blood
MM MM MM
And Prsident Obama gave a SHOUT OUT to his homey, "First of All"
MM MM MM
Then he went on a trip and left AG Holder in charge
MM MM MM
And AG Holder decided to be president and prepair for 9-11, 2010 style
MM MM MM
Barack Husan Obama
MM MM MM

Don't forget western Michigan also gave us the Michigan Militia (a haven to Tim McVeigh for a while), Blackwater (founder is from the Grand Haven/Muskegon hardcore Calvin community) and, worst of all, Amway. AMWAY!!!!!

Bush's people loved them some Hasan and didn't even use the tools they had to keep a record: internet chat up your favorite radical Imam known to have had contact with 9/11 terrorists and if you keep the topic clean you're in the clear.

The Republicans lack imagination about the possible actions of anybody but Democrats about whom they have the wildest fantasies.

Hoekstra needs to get a grip.

The sooner we get rid of the jack-asses like Hoekstra. Leiberman, McConnell, McCain, Cantor, Boehner and the other bunch, the damned Democratic "moderate" (corporate-bribed) blue-dogs..the better..all they want to do is obstruct and block the Presdent at every turn and then claim that the Presdient is the one who is failing America, get back in power so they can finish handing US, OUR country and OUR government over to the Corporations to control......leaving us to the "mercy" of the greedy Wall Street International Corporations and Bankers...(now there's an oxymoron...mercy and Wall Street)

Terrorism? They must have forgotten Bush's classification of Terrorism that they worked so hard for before the 2004 election to show how acts of terrorism had gone down in Iraq: Terrorism is officially defined as actions against CIVLIIAN populations, and specifically NOT actions against the military.

So, by definition, all attacks, injuries, & deaths that happened at the recent Ft. Hood incident were NOT acts of terrorism.

Why be a Republican? Because republicans just NO better!

"...that the administration had restricted the use of crucial terror-fighting tools that could have been used to stop the attacks."

So they limited things that Dick Cheney could do? The voters did that, not the Obama Administration.

Didn't the largest terrorist attack to ever happen on US soil happen DURING the Dick Cheney era? While he was protecting us from terrorism? With that track record, I certainly wouldn't be bragging about it.

Calbearin,

Not just Amway, but the Amway tool scam. Read about it here: http://tiny.cc/D5oJh and forward to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed as well.
