politico - In a surprise appearance in the White House press briefing room, President Barack Obama said Wednesday the government will “spare no effort” to determine why a gunman fatally shot two American airmen and wounded two others at the commercial airport in Frankfurt.
“I’m saddened, and I am outraged, by this attack that took the lives of two Americans and wounded two others,” he said in a brief statement. “I think the American people are united in expressing our gratitude for the service of those who were lost.”
Obama told reporters he and first lady Michelle Obama “are praying for a speedy recovery for those who were injured” and for those who lost loved ones. He also promised that the government would use every resource to discover “how this outrageous attack took place.” - Continue reading > >

Is this one of the unexplainable happenings like Fort Hood, 9/11, The Cole bombing? Obama seems stumped. President Obama, we know what happened. Terrorism is an act of war not a crime. We know who did it an Islamist. The question is what are you and your Administration going to do about it?
If a non-Muslim takes the lives of innocents, it's immediately thought to be caused by right wing hate speech, talk radio, etc according to the MSM and most Democrats.
When a Muslim takes the lives of innocents it’s all so very confusing, the motives are unclear, we have to study the situation and of course spare no effort to solve the mystery.
**Story update**(Thursday March 3, 2011) - Authorities in Europe are calling the shooting at a Frankfurt, Germany, airport that claimed the lives of two U.S. servicemen an act of Islamic terrorism, though U.S. investigators said it is too soon to tell.
21-year-old Arid Uka, who was captured immediately after Wednesday's shooting, admitted to the deadly attack and said he acted alone.
Uka allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. airmen in Frankfurt, Germany, Wednesday, killing two and wounding two others before his gun jammed, officials said.
The U.S. has launched an FBI-led investigation into the shooting and officials told ABC News it is too soon to determine whether the attack was an act of terror and if the suspect acted alone. However, a senior U.S. intelligence official told ABC News the attack was likely terror-related.
I wonder if Barack Obama is still stumped as to why and how this happened.
The US State Department refuses to call this a terrorist attack.
Denial and hypocracy continue to be the practice of this administration ... after all ... why would Obama and/or Holder condemn one of those who they regard as "my people"?
ReplyDeleteMy continuing observation of this administration and their cohorts in the Senate and House have compelled me to re-evaluate my appraisal of used toilet paper. Somehow the toilet paper at least served a useful function and cleaned up a mess rather than spewing offal whenever it is in contact with anything.
Anon - I do agree! I also believe you make an honest and excellent analogy between the members of the Senate and House Dems and toilet paper.
