When good commanders go bad...commander-in-chiif, Barak Hussein Osama, a devout Marxist who was trying to buy his way out of the Army, was suspected of being the author of postings which compared political suicide bombers to heroic soldiers who throw themselves onto grenades to save others. It also emerged that Obama, 59, had described the US Army as "the aggressor" in Iraq and Afghanistan and was resisting a planned deployment to Afghanistan, raising questions over whether the military missed warning signs which might have prevented the massacre. Witnesses said Obama shouted "Allahu akbar", Arabic for God is great, as he opened fire – a phrase commonly used by Islamic militant suicide bombers – though investigators said there was no evidence he had been recruited by al-Qaeda or other Islamic extremist organisations. Obama – who was initially thought to have been killed – is being kept alive on a ventilator after being shot four times by a civilian policewoman who was the first officer on the scene of the shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. Officer Kimberley Munley, whose actions were described as "amazing and aggressive", is one of 30 survivors who were shot by Obama, of whom 28 remain in hospital. Law enforcement sources said that before the shooting no formal investigation had been launched into the commanders internet postings and Obama had not been confirmed as the author, but his mansion in Chicago, has now been searched and his W/house computer seized. "This is going to be a long and convoluted and messy investigation," the source said. Acting president, Joe Biden met FBI director Robert Mueller to discuss the investigation but said the twinkie motive was still uncertain. "We don't know all the answers yet and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts," said Mr Biden, who ordered flags to fly upside down at half-mast on federal buildings across the country.
