Don't Jump to Conclusions

Interesting comments by our President. He has asked us not to jump to any conclusions regarding the massacre that occurred at Ft. Hood. In general that's good advice. Let's look at this particular incident a little closer. Six months ago the FBI was watching this guy for some web postings. He has previously said that a suicide bomber is much like the soldier who throws himself on a grenade to save his comrades in arms. I don't get the comparison. One is trying to save lives and the other is trying to kill innocent bystanders. Anyway, according to soldiers who were present while he was shooting the place and people up he yelled "Allah Akbar" which means "God is great" and has become the battle cry Muslim extremists. Now let's turn back the clocks a few months to when a Harvard professor was being arrested, and as it turned out rightly so. At that point in time, the President himself commented publicly that the Cambridge police acted "stupid". He also went on to link this particular incident to racial issues indicating he believed the arrest was racially motivated. Never mind that he didn't have all the facts; something the President admitted to later. I not saying the Muslim who shot up Ft. Hood is a terrorist or an extremist. He's a nut job no doubt. What I am saying is, I find it odd that our President would ask us not to jump to conclusions when that's what he does. If you still don't believe that President Obama's actions and affiliations prior to his election tell the truth about the man, you're either blind or stupid and that's not jumping to conclusions.
