The president spoke at Fort Hood today. This portion of his remarks is noteworthy for what it doesn’t mention:

It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy. But this much we do know — no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor. And for what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice — in this world, and the next.

These are trying times for our country. In Afghanistan and Pakistan, the same extremists who killed nearly 3,000 Americans continue to endanger America, our allies, and innocent Afghans and Pakistanis. In Iraq, we are working to bring a war to a successful end, as there are still those who would deny the Iraqi people the future that Americans and Iraqis have sacrificed so much for.

What “logic” is he referring to? What sort of “extremists”? Why it is a mystery? It is the ideology the president dares not name. Perhaps the president is too cowed by the political-correctness crowd or too personally uncomfortable to name our enemy. Apparently our commander-in-chief can’t quite get out the words “Islamic fundamentalists” or “Islamic fascists” or “Islamic” anything.

This is a very, very bad sign.
