Fortunately that jackass is being tried in a military court. If he gets anything other than a firing squad or a hanging it's a shame and a miscarriage of justice. He deserves to be executed for betraying his oath to his country and for betraying the trust of his fellow service members. Although I think his faith served as a motivator I'd advocate the same penalty for him as for any other man who did what he did.

Military Code of Justice is different than consitutional or codal law.

Of course, as CINC, Obama's comments are arguably WORSE on courts martial than their impact upon civilian judicial proceedings would be.

Brilliant analysis!!!

Commander in Chief... a lofty title for such an inept person. How sad that this was the best that citizens of this country decided to give to our military. He is no more a CIC than I am.

@spititoutalready - that is a understatement

@mrcolorful - I was actually alluding to was he trying to give this guy defense tools? I realize the UCMJ is different than civilian law yet when POTUS is your chief apologist  it gives me pause. It undermines the moral of the troops. I know in speaking to friends of ours, they are glad they took their out and retired now instead of staying in for 30.

@ProvokingThought - Who knows maybe Obama will actually get himself installed as the guy's defense attorney or as the judge in the proceedings.  It sounds completely absurd but I wouldn't put it past him.

Sometimes I wonder if he doesn't view the military in the same way that he views the rest of the Government, a self-sustaining entity of superhuman minions on which no action he could take will have any effect, either positive or negative, on its incessant rise to higher levels of greatness.  Obviously, this idea of government and military existing on a higher plane and being the ultimate authority in anything is completely at odds with the founding fathers, Constitution and us.

i wonder how bush would have done in this situation. it seems to me he always handled these type of things MUCH better. you are far more eloquent than i though, so i will leave it to you if you would be willing to do the comparison as an entry.

Obama is a lawyer...he should know better than to make remarks like that when the case is open.  I also find it disturbing that the Commander-in-Chief is so dismissive of a man who from what little we know thus far, is pretty clearly an Islamic terrorist.  Not only that but a traitor to his country.  Yet here we have Obama undermining the morale of our soldiers anyway...  It really makes me angry.

@dikdoktor -Steve, maybe they should just let him out in Fort Hood unarmed and go for dinner.

@ProvokingThought - He's technically "active" (sort of) National Guard.  Goes in once a month to drill.

Although I've lost all hope for this country, assuming that things progress the way they should, Hasan should be found guilty of murder and since it's during a time of war, he should be executed by firing squad. 

Of course, although Obama and his traitor minions in Congress simply cannot stomach the thought of admitting it, this was nothing less than a terrorist attack, carried out by a not-so-deep cover mole, who infiltrated the Army in front of God, Allah and everyone else. 

Due to a long line of traitors who are soft on national defense stretching back years..this was allowed to happen.  And today, the State Run Media, running cover for the terrorist in the White House, is doing everything they can to "BLAME THE VICTIMS"... whether it be those individuals, the Army, or the country as a whole.. but NEVER the politicians responsible.

The man is an idiot.

This is such a good post!
