"Breach of Allegiance"

Last week we witnessed the murders of thirteen Innocent soldiers at Fort Hood , in Texas . As Americans we all felt a sense of vulnerability as a fortified military installation was breached by a killer on a mission . I remember my time on military posts and the one thing I was assured about was that we were in a secure area , no one would get near our area without security clearance , and definitely no un-authorized weapons would ever be allowed in. Army officials must bear some of the responsibility for the acts of murder that took place last week. As the facts are beginning to unfold about Major Nidal Malik Hasan we are seeing our military really dropped the ball when it came to recognizing a real threat to our troops , and possibly to our civilian population. Hasan was a born and raised American , he lived in south-western Virginia , was educated there and received most of his medical education courtesy of the United States Army , and the taxpayers. When you swear yourself into the army you promise to defend and protect the constitution and the people of the United States , most of us who have taken that oath have taken it very seriously.This is more then words it is a pledge of honor and truth. Treason is defined as a crime of serious acts of disloyalty against one's sovereign nation , which undermines the offenders government through subversive behavior. E-mail communication between Hasan and Al-Qaida operatives and militant Imams have already surfaced which certainly give us a real look at the motives of Hasan's mind-set, as he attacked those soldiers who represented the nation he decided to betray. The punishment for treason is usually death , and I whole heartedly agree this crime merits death. The administration has yet to admit this was an act of terrorism , the words mentally ill , and disturbed individual are permeating the accounts of this act by those who would not wish to offend the Muslim population. As Hasan was busy murdering soldiers he shouted to Allah , he was committing an act of Jihad against the devil from the west. Mr Obama needs to recognize this as what it is , an act of terrorism and treason against the United States Of America. The longer he waits in defining this as a terrorist act , the more weakness he shows to our enemies . When Hasan shouted to Allah he broke his oath of allegiance to the country that provided him with freedom and education . This was the act of a traitor. For the first time since Mr. Obama has become president he can act on the behalf of the American people , instead of taking the path of political expediency. If we don't call this treason we will be putting the entire population in jeopardy , we will be giving license to radicals of all ideology's to do their worst and hide in the guise of mental illness. Do the right thing Mr. President call it what it is!
