The investigation should seek to determine the motive as it would in any criminal case involving such a terrible crime. If there is credible evidence of terrorism then it shouldn't be hidden, but that's a conclusion for a judge based on law.

In any criminal investigation, the prosecution should play thngs close to the vest. Leaking information can damage a case. My supposition is that the Army investigators may know a lot more than they are letting on at this point. They would not come out right off the bat when things are still fresh and emotions are high and label it as terrorism even if they think it may be.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I would agree, there maybe a lot more tied to this incident that they are looking into which could disrupt other plots if it truly is terrorism.
But if they find it is terrorism in the end, it will be the first domestic terrorism since 9/11 and under Obama's watch.

No kidding. This guy was in the armed services for 3+ separate administrations, but one guy losing his mind means that Obama isn't doing his job.

His statement is on par with the idiots that say 9/11 was Bush's fault.

JD, that is just a statement of fact. You can't blame Obama, but from what we've been told, there were indications this guy was being tracked because of his statements and associations.Not one imho, I'd want in our military.
Fore warned should have been fore armed.

Fact??? Nothing has been proven yet.

When liberals said similar things about Iraq they were accused of wanting US troops to die to help make their point.

Spence, this was the original post, what Fact??? are you questioning.

Unless there has been another terrorist attack i don't now about since 9/11
then "if they find it is terrorism in the end" the fact is it will be under Obama's watch.

If you are looking for facts pointing to terrorism, a few I remember, he had
e-mailed the al qaeda recruiter in Yemen, he went to the same Florida Mosque
that the 9/11 terrorists attended, he had SOA (soldier of Allah)under his name on his professional card,
and was charged with premeditated murder as he bought the guns he used shortly before the attack.
I go along with Fishbone's post and the possible reasons why he may not have been charged as a terrorist so far,
but if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck it's a duck.
