Obama condemns Muslim attack on Arkansas Army recruiters…not

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 2, 2009 12:47 PM

President Obama announced his choice for Army Secretary this afternoon.

The news isn’t what he said in his statement about GOP Rep. John McHugh:

“As Secretary of the Army, he will ensure that our soldiers are trained and equipped to meet the full spectrum of challenges and threats of our time. And John [McHugh] shares my belief that a sustainable national security strategy must include a bipartisan consensus at home, and he brings patriotism and a pragmatism that has won him respect on both sides of the aisle. I look forward to working with him in the months and years ahead.”

The news is what he left out.

Not a word about the jihadi attack on the two Army recruiters in Arkansas. No condemnation of the heinous attack and senseless violence. No condolences for the families of the targeted men or praise for the military recruiters who have been under increasing attack on U.S. soil. No statements from the DOJ or Pentagon, either.

Nothing.

Jeffrey Goldberg at the Atlantic notices similar whitewashing by government-funded NPR, which failed to report the name and religion of recruiter-murdering suspect Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad:

Why not tell people what is actually happening in the world? We saw this a couple of weeks ago, when the press only gingerly acknowledged that the malevolent though incompetent suspects in the synagogue bombing-conspiracy case in New York were converts to Islam. How is the public served by this kind of silence? The extremist Christian beliefs of George Tiller’s alleged murderer are certainly relevant to that case, and no one in my profession is hesitant to discuss them. Why the hesitancy to talk about the motivations of the man who allegedly killed Pvt. William Long?

Update: June 3. Still no word.

    What I thought was sad about that news conference is that neither Obama nor McHugh (the Sec of Army nominee) had anything to say about it.

    No condemnation of the attack nor any condolences to the victims and their families. Very disgraceful all the way around.

    …with respect to the earlier “protests” and harassment of USMC personnel at Berkley, this doesn’t surprise me…the GOP, President Bush, John McCain were -as far as I could tell- dead silent about that too…the fact that Obama doesn’t care (unless pressured to) is a given.

    At the time of this writing, there are nearly 7,000 references to “George Tiller” in Google News.

    There are under 500 for “William Long.”

    George Tiller, of course, was the Kansas abortion doctor murdered Sunday morning by a man who allegedly had political and religious motives.

    William Long was the 23-year-old military recruiter murdered Monday morning by a man who allegedly had political and religious motives.

    As if we really needed further proof, Obama has done nothing to disprove the fact that when he said on the campaign trail that he was muslim, and that when the s*it hit the fan, he’d stand with the muslim word – he wasn’t guilty of a slip of the tongue.

    He WAS telling the truth. For even more proof, take a look at what is happening with our policy towards Israel. Li’l bHo is hanging the Israelis out to dry.

    It isn’t just America that’s screwed. It’s the entire free world. Perhaps the entire world period.

    In the 60s and early 70s –of all times! — we had a health share of military-themed shows on TV. 12:00 High, Combat, McHale’s Navy, Gomer Pyle — a whole slew of them! You were proud, proud, proud! Where are such now in an era where we freed millions from tyranny and starvation? I don’t count “NCIS” and “JAG” because they’re really detective shows in olive drag. Oddly, one of the proudest moments in TV shows that touched me was “Magnum P.I.”‘s very last show when the maverick and non-conformist ex-intell officer and gumshoe that he was re-enlisted into the military! Now we have to battle people standing in the way of people who wish to do their duty!

    And you will never see Obummer condemn this attack because he’s in thick with the Muslim population and kissing their feet. He cares more about their lives and rights than he does about the lives and wellbeing of our military. His election is another reason why I feel our country has lost touch with reality.

    I gave up the illusion a long time ago that this country gave a damn about me or my husband. I’ve seen good military careers ruined and destroyed by PC policies and GS civilians who care more about CYA than about results. I’ve seen the resentment in the civilian community of Hampton Roads, VA regarding the military tit it sucks off of.

    There are only pockets of appreciation for the military that I can see. A lot of the support is “symbolic” and makes people feel good but in the real here and now it’s all fake. I hear it from my husband’s siblings (mostly liberals) and my own parents who resent my husband for why we move around a lot. To hear the ignorance from strangers is one thing but your own family is disappointing.

    I really don’t trust the politicians and the civilians who say they support our military when our current president can’t find the time to condemn this attack on our own soil. I will get the oh, he’s really busy and doesn’t have time for that. Isn’t this the same man who can walk and chew gum at the same time?

    One more side note: have Obummer and Gates ever thought what’s going to result from overly concentrating resources on the Army and Marines at the expense of future engagements and development for the other branches? Modernization needs to occur, especially for the Air Force and these two just don’t get it and never will.

    This whole feel good, we support the troops crap by the federal government and it’s willing sheeple is a total lie. Military families and spouses live it and see its impact on a daily basis. Any time the federal government says you’ll get a “free service” or a “promised benefit” that a military member worked for, mind you, it’s either cut, decreased, or paid for by that member/retiree/veteran in the end.

    What happened to these young recruiters is attrocious. They’re just another inconvenient side note in the appalling lack of honest conversation of who the assailant was and how under threat military members and their families are, both personally and professionally. The military and their families are under siege in this country.

    I’m not surprised by any of this.

    What a shame, the Commander in Chief loses one of his soldiers at a recruiting office and he has nothing to say about it. Sadly, this doesn’t surprise me. Does BHO realize the longer this takes, the more absurd it will look when he finally does say something? Who is advising him. I honestly believe that BHO is insulated from any criticism whatsoever. Otherwise, he’d give in to common sense and just release a statement…anything.

    In other news Keith Olbermann is blaming O’Reilly for Tiller’s death but iinterestingly, he too has nothing to say on the recruiting office shooting. Maybe he will tonight but I am not holding my breath. Don’t fret-people I really think BHO is one term and done.

    Nothing.

    Oh, they said something alright. Silence can speak volumes if it’s employed properly.

    In this case, the first invisible-ink message is, “Hey, they caught the perp, it’s a law enforcement matter.” Remember, there’s no such thing as Mohammedan terrorism, no such thing as jihad. The shooter isn’t bad, just “misunderstood.” Calling him some name like “terrorist” just damages his self-esteem and makes his acceptance back into society more challenging than it has to be.

    The second message is, “Hey, they were soldiers, when they get shot it’s an occupational hazard; so it’s no big deal.” Which is liberal polite-speak for, “The got what they deserved.”

    And the third message is, “I don’t care.” After all, we can’t let an unwelcome reminder of Mohammedan violence and extremism distract us from our domestic agenda…

    See? Sometimes you can say a lot when you say nothing at all.

    Obamessiah is for killing unborn (potentially conservative) Americans, US Military personnel and all Israeli Jews. Even as We The People pay for their hundred thousand dollar “date nights”, he hates us, as does his Demon-possessed wife.

    This is why he:
    1. Denounced the killing of Baby-Killer Tiller, but not the shooting of the innocent recruiters.

    2. Released only select photos on, what the D’s called, torture – without the proof that it actually DID save American (if you want to call inhabitants of Los Angeles that) lives. This gives additional “ammunition” to the Islamists who hate our guts with every fiber of their being. (Yeah, like they needed an excuse – it is what they live for, terrorizing Americans. Read the Koran – or go to JihadWatch.com for more details.)

    3. Told Bibi that “natural growth” in “settlements” that are actually part of Israel proper must “stop”. That means people in those areas are not to: get pregnant or get married. Dying is, however, encouraged.

    My deepest sympathy to the families of both of these young men. They are most honorable additions to the ranks of patriots who have given their all for the cause of freedom. I am proud to call them brothers in arms. And, as happens so many times in war, the survivor will be long asking “why was I spared?”

    As far as the gunman goes, I noted with interest this morning that the FBI had been investigating him, but had not detained him. Question: does that make the FBI complicit? Or do they get a pass for at least suspecting him?

    The suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of one soldier and the critical injury of another at a Little Rock, Ark., Army recruiting booth today was under investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, ABC News has learned.

    The investigation was in its preliminary stages, authorities said, and was based on the suspect’s travel to Yemen and his arrest there for using a Somali passport.

    The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, had changed his name from Carlos Leon Bledsoe after converting to the Muslim faith.(ABC News)

    Bravo, you are right on. The attack by this jihadist is no different in jihad philosophy than the attack on 9-11. The only difference is the scale. It was a terrorist attack on American soil that killed one American and wounded another. Where the f**k is our President??????????

    If this isn’t evidence of the Left’s hypocrisy, I don’t know what is. Even when explained in the plainest of terms, they still won’t equate the two stories with the same attention. I can’t think of any instances where in our not-so-distant past, extreme fundamentalist anti-abortionists flew planes into skyscrapers, killing thousands of Americans. This ought to dispel any defense by doubting moderates and liberals. I repeat, ought to. Patty-cake is a game for toddlers, not for grown adults in positions of power. Our enemies know this.

    No one should be surprised that Obama is sympathetic to Muslims.

    This idiot is getting big lift from MSM for now.
    If terrorists strike again on our homeland, it won’t take very long for public to slap the bumper stickers “We will never forget” a la 9/11.
    Public opinion is very fickle.
    But Obama will have nowhere to hide.

    No new attack since 9/11 under CRAZY Bush.
    In spite of repeated apologies to any Tom-Dick-and-Harry (Mohammad-Ahmad-and-Jamal) who would listen to Obama, extremists Muslims will hit us when they find an opportunity.

    ABC News’ Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller report: The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that never would have been uttered during the primaries or general election campaign.

    During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”

    Islamic terrorism is so yesterday, guys. It’s not hip anymore. Christian terrorism, on the other hand, is also yesterday, but it’s always hip because it fits the Left-wing view of the world. In their view, all evil originates from the Bush Administration and its Right-wing Christian supporters. Anything that does not fit this preconceived view, like the William Long shooting, is a random event that can be ignored.

    But rest assured, the Obama Administration is keeping us safe – safe from the widespread Christian jihadi uprising they know is right around the corner. And if a “rare” Islamic attack just happens to occur while their backs are turned, well, they have that covered too. The government run media is already hard at work blaming the next 9-11 disaster on Bush and Cheney.

    Lest we forget…

    Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

    “I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah”
