A noun, a verb, and 9/11 was just like Ft. Hood

Bernie Kerik's champion:

We were attacked in Africa — we were attacked at those embassies in Africa, we were attacked on the USS Cole, and then we had the worst attack in our history, and I hoped and prayed from that day on it would be the last Islamist terrorist attack in our history and was not the last because a week ago we had another Islamist terrorist attack on our soil, and why this Administration has trouble figuring that out when the man yelled out "Allah Akhbar" when he was murdering people...as a former prosecutor, I find frighteningly incompetent.

As terrible as Ft. Hood was, only a lunatic would claim that it was similar to 9/11, yet right-wingers like Rudy Giuliani are eager to compare the two. Surely, Giuliani's consulting business would make a mint if President Obama responded to Ft. Hood like George W. Bush responded to 9/11, but would that really make the country any safer? Does Giuliani really believe we should go to war with Yemen, home to the radical Imam Hassan corresponded with? Or perhaps the West Bank, because Hassan's parents were born there?

Or maybe instead we should let the investigation continue, in the hopes that we might find out the truth about what happened. Rudy wouldn't know this, of course, but the truth matters. All you have to do is ask the thousands of Americans who died to protect the world from the non-existent threat of Iraqi WMD.

It's better to get it right slowly than get it wrong quickly. Too bad Giuliani can't understand that.
