It's official: Political Correctness led to the deaths at Fort Hood

Via The Blotter:

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan tried to make contact with people linked to al Qaeda.It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that he requested the CIA and other intelligence agencies brief the committee on what was known, if anything, about Hasan by the U.S. intelligence community, only to be refused.

In response, Hoekstra issued a document preservation request to four intelligence agencies. The letter, dated November 7th, was sent to directors Dennis Blair (DNI), Robert Mueller (FBI), Lt. Gen Keith Alexander (NSA) and Leon Panetta (CIA).

Hoekstra said he is "absolutely furious" that the house intel committee has been refused an intelligence briefing by the DNI or CIA on Hasan's attempt to reach out to al Qaeda, as first reported by ABC News.

"This is a law enforcement investigation, in which other agencies—not the CIA—have the lead," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said in a response to ABC News. " Any suggestion that the CIA refused to brief Congress is incorrect."

PC kills... and we have an Administration that puts PC-ness on the top of their agenda.

More deaths to follow.

Sadly, we could have a ‘Fort Hood’ attack every month and a ‘9/11’ once a year and we still won’t get it…no matter who is in the WH.

We are watching the slow death of a nation. In case you think that is hyperbole, read up on Europe and their disintegration by the hands of Muslims.

The caliphate will accomplished by blood and more importantly, by stealth – political correctness being one tool, the guise of diversity and muticulturism, charges of racism (even though Muslim is not race), religious tolerance, the protection of our own laws-the 1st Amendment allows even what our domestic enemies preach – being some of the others.

I’d say it’s time to “wake up America” but it seems nothing will at this point. Even if 'we the people' do, our politicians, the very people entrusted to protect us, are asleep.

I just feel sorry for your kids and their kids…but, take heart, there’s still time to teach them how to be good slaves.
