<i8>Not a bad speech, but there was a missing ingredient. Obama failed to identify Hassan as a terrorist.

He would be foolish to do so until all the facts are out on the table. After all, he is the president......not some poster on SI.

It may seem like he did, but if you parse it carefully, he did not. I guess his "base" would be upset if he did

I am part of Obama's base and I've already called Hasan a terrorist for what he did last week. He created a great deal of terror for a lot of people.

Is he a terrorist? The problem with the question is the term has different meanings.

One of them focuses on the targets being civilian, by that definition he isn't a terrorist.

We could say he's a terrorist because he is using violence to cause terror, apparently for a cause (OTOH that definition could make some military action in to terrorism).

So its sort of unclear.

But he's clearly a traitor, and a mass murderer.
