It Is Official!

It only took 4 months to say it. But today, Janet Napolitano finally admitted that the Fort Hood Massare was.....

TERRORISM
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has become the first Obama Administration official to publicly describe last year's deadly shootings at Ft. Hood, Tex., as a terrorist act, according to a search of news clips and transcripts.

"Violent Islamic terrorism ... was part and parcel of the Ft. Hood killings," Napolitano told the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday morning. "There is violent Islamic terrorism, be it Al Qaeda in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen or anywhere else, [and] that is indeed a major focus of this department and its efforts."

In the months since an Army psychiatrist -- who had been in contact with a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen -- opened fired inside the Army base, many on Capitol Hill have urged administration officials to publicly identify the attack as terrorism.

Those calls have been used by Republicans and others to paint administration officials as weak on terrorism and subsequently unwilling to use the word "terrorism."

Jump for joy and shout Hallelujah!  For the Messiah in the White House has proclaimed the obvious.  A terrorist act is terrorism.

I wonder what is next?  Declaring that the people really don't want his Health Care proposal?  I doubt he will get that one.
