The Pentagon during Barack Obama's watch is as irrational, obscurantist and cowardly as everything else connected to the Obama administration when it comes to calling terrorism…uh, terrorism.
For instance, though Major Nadal Hassan was motivated by jihadist material, had connections with al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki, and shouted “Allah akbar” while murdering 13 and trying to murder many, many more, the administration refuses to call this a terrorist attack.
No, to the White House, the Pentagon lawyers, and Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, the shootings were merely an example of (and I'm not kidding) "workplace violence."
If you can stand it, here's more from the Washington Times.
