Yes, I actually already knew that, I was trying to get the Original Poster to justify his vitriol with evidence, which I knew he couldn't do. Instead I expected one of those "the buck stops with him" comments making him a fair (and balanced) target for anything that anyone says who works for the government.

I am unable to find any copy of the letter which Senator Collins (Me-R) mentions in her comment, but I was able to find a very lengthy report from DOD on the incident. It was a highly specific and detailed analysis of the shooting but focused ONLY on the internal factors within the DOD where changes in their procedures might decrease the likelihood of a future similar event. The full report of 86 pages is here:
http://www.defense.gov/pubs/pdfs/DOD...HR_13jan10.pdf

Here is a key quote which is even highlighted within the report on page 7-8
"DoD force protection policies are not optimized for countering internal threats...our commanders must become attuned to behavioral indicators that signal when individuals may commit violent acts or become radicalized"


This DoD analysis was not tasked with assigning blame or looking at what other organizations might do to improve the safety of personnel, but was specifically tasked with "how to defend against threats posed by external influences"

For those who believe that this report did not include terrorism and Islamic radicalization as one of those external influences I suggest looking at footnote 22 which has 6 references to reports and journal articles on Islamic radicalization.

In summary, the DoD, not President Obama, produced a letter to Senator Collins which I have not seen. She characterized it as dealing with work place violence and not terrorism. I suspect, but do NOT know, that the letter deals with the same information as is in the publicly available report where the DoD was asked to determine what it could do differently within its own operations to reduce the possibility of a member of the military becoming a risk to military personnel due to external factors. The word "terrorism" appears 62 (SIXTY TWO) times in the report.
