A good thing, too:
Sens. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) issued the first congressional subpoenas of the Obama administration Monday after accusing the White House of stonewalling their requests for information about the Fort Hood shootings.
In a letter with the subpoenas, the chairman and ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee said the FBI and Defense Department had ignored their requests for five months. The Nov. 5 shootings at the Texas base, the largest Army post in the United States, left 13 people dead.
Lieberman and Collins said they sought witnesses and documents about what the government previously knew about the alleged gunman, Army psychiatrist Nidal M. Hasan, and whether it had adequately investigated his pre-shooting communications with Yemeni cleric and suspected terrorist Anwar al-Aulaqi.
The problem here stems from President Obama’s asinine determination to “reach out” to Islam. Its asinine not because its bad to reach out, but because Obama is reaching out to the wrong people.
While Obama reaches out to, say, the mullahs in Tehran, he should be reaching out to the people of Iran, who are on our side in the War on Terrorism. But the policy is to reach out, in effect, to the terrorists…so the blood of the Iranian people gets swept under the rug. As does the blood of the American people, murdered at Ft Hood by a man de-facto allied with the people the President is reaching out to.
But we need to know the truth. At bottom, we need to know how far the politically-correct rot has gone and how vulnerable we are to Islamists we’ve allowed to infiltrate our society. Obama’s Administration is refusing to set the record straight, and so it will have to be forced out.
