"A Crime Against Our Nation"

President Obama spoke today:

“It is an act of violence that would have been heartbreaking had it occurred anyplace in America,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. “It is a crime that would have horrified us had its victims been Americans of any background. But it’s all the more heartbreaking and all the more despicable because of the place where it occurred and the patriots who were its victims.”

[...]

"The SRP is where our men and women in uniform go before getting deployed," Obama said. "It’s where they get their teeth checked and their medical records updated and make sure everything is in order before getting shipped out. It was in this place, on a base where our soldiers ought to feel most safe, where those brave Americans who are preparing to risk their lives in defense of our nation, lost their lives in a crime against our nation."

Are other incidents of soldier killing soldier on bases also crimes against our nation?

That strikes me a a singularly unwise statement to make at this time. Unless the objective is to add fuel to the fire of anti-Muslim sentiment and encouragement to the Christians vs. Muslims America is a Christian Nation crowd.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
