" I know there'll also be inquiries by congress and the ship. But all of -- should resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater sometimes dominates the discussion here in Washington. The stakes are far too."

" Whether you believe imagine a dollar solace that cycles retailer Muslim extremists -- misfit who cracked in the face of imminent deployment to Afghanistan war. All of those things there's certainly enough disturbing questions about the man who allegedly perpetrated the Fort -- massacre to keep investigators busy for a long time and I believe. The president is right to ask congress to stay out of this. Wait until the courts do their probing the FBI Texas Rangers -- US army. Let him convict this guy's sentence and an -- Joe Lieberman can hold his grandstanding -- hearings and all the rest of -- I think there are questions to answer. But I brought reinforcements on the previous issue I've got Doug Kennedy our Doug Kennedy and -- was gonna talk about whether and a dollar -- was that Qaeda or crazy. But Doug first on the issue of trying to these guys over."

" It I gotta go after after an arguably the day and end wants this guy to be al-Qaeda she's she needs this guy in the telephone I'm hopeful that these guys al-Qaeda because if he is. This just exposes -- there incompetence. I mean you know that the -- a major in the US army he's about to go to the war something he could've killed. Thousands of people."

" It's. He did pretty good to me -- paid listen he EM in his Alomar -- men's program hard working boat people who were who were about to go but he."

" If we have to have somebody of of that of that stature. In al-Qaeda we could've done so much damage this guy could have killed thousands of people and and and this is just. Bid that. That this exposes I don't think that was the reinforcement -- lowdown on -- out. Who should really think -- any real this guy Hollywood actress there worried top."

" But if -- if this is terror that -- the point of terrorism is to make its quicken our boots as a country as we did on 9/11."

" This shocks us -- us this is the site go light can you know OK so what what I like Colin I like Obama captured not. We just on the level of making -- terrorizing."

" Here's I think that this is great getting killed thirteen rather than not that -- I've been working -- out but our position is it would have been very easy to keep him from killing a single person. If the military had not been so vastly consumes that the -- politically correct -- as for example I mean just during the World Series a few weeks ago they're down holds two white guys out of the collar -- guard to perform at the World Series with a -- diverse enough. Put in a girl out of Pakistan."

" The army and -- perfectly integrated agency the United States government we have. But the other position on Nadal Som as a terrorist threat yet I don't -- and then let them if I may if I may correct you we didn't cook weaken our boots the 9/11 you ticked us off major and you woke a sleeping giant and you're gonna get."

" Trouble and and that's joke that is exactly that is exactly the attitude I think we should have about this guy yet that did this guy should not be."

" But you raise as and wants him to be raised to the level of."

" Terrorizing our -- he pleaded with god as the president the first time I've ever every -- right --"

" and all -- don't bring another voice our ability Paris directs the future terrorism project. For the Washington based Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. -- that the -- zeroed an expert person I don't know your religious background but do you think Nadal fond. I is that terrorists -- more importantly do you believe even if he is self taught. And his hatred comes from within and that he never had any contact with any one from any recognized terror organization. Does his act his murder is mass murdering act does that represent an escalation of the terror war."

" Well he's certainly if someone who thought about it evidence that we have so far is for the previous eight years he has made statements. He had the same time also. When he acted -- acted on behalf of an ideology. Is he cycle or not we will see. But at the end of the data that's coming in the framework of other cases you cannot just remove it and say while this is the only person. That have never attacked us we have the North Carolina found two cases in New York. We had one shooting against two. Other minutes in Arkansas one was that so. You have to look at this frame of on the one hand and then look at what the actual ideological motives of python regardless of his psychological state at the time. But I used --"

" also point out that the second worst incident a soldier on soldier violence was a guy named John Russell. Last may may have 2009. In. Camp liberty in Baghdad kills five fellow GIs this is the Texan a Christian is it Christian extremist I mean that's. That's my -- my only beef with labeling the dollar found."

" Did but the point -- the -- that was what the guy says a lot will -- bar when he says -- suicide bombers are to be revered when he is heading the war that he is supposed to be so what are the but what about. --"

" For major point that we elevate."

" A site go spree killer -- no better than the column my kids in the eyes no one is elevating him or her saying he acted out of terrorism on the most yeah that is the thought hey -- there and then that."

" But she's you're trying to make -- your full of this guy great and quit."

" I believe the question on the table was -- acting out in stressed fewer arguments on ours was the man yelling all of -- off arm before shooting was going around saying in Belgium have their heads chopped off. Acting out of terrorism and whether the army should have noticed that we set the army should have noticed that the army should an art."

" hill we have great armies and on notice to."
