The Pentagon's report on the Islamic terrorist Army Major who gunned down 13 Americans at Fort Hood in November 2009, uses the word "Islam" and "Islamic" one time each in footnote 22. In addition, the report doesn't even name Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Islamist who killed the Americans. The first paragraph of the Executive Summary refers to Hasan as "a gunman" who opened fire at the Soldier Readiness Center. In the same paragraph, he is referred to as an "assailant." His name is not anywhere to be found in the document.
The rest of the report talks about "shortcomings" in the military's ability to stop foreign terrorists from using American soldiers against the U.S.
According to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, "It ... reveals shortcomings in the way the department is prepared to defend against threats posed by external influences operating on members of our military community. We have not done enough to adapt to the evolving domestic internal security threat to American troops and military facilities."
The fact is that Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was known for a long time to be an anti-American Muslim who didn't hide his views from his fellow soldiers. The FBI was certainly aware of his anti-American Jihadist views. FBI agents were monitoring his emails to Al Qaeda operatives!
He screamed "Allah Akbar" (Allah Is Great) as he gunned down his victims in the Soldier Readiness Center.
The Pentagon report is clearly an Obama-inspired whitewash of one of the most tragic Islamic terrorist acts in our history. Clearly, Hasan wasn't loyal to our country and betrayed his oath of office to support and defend the Constitution. To me, he is not only guilty of murder but of treason against his country.
