Has the President expressed his sorrow and advice yet?

"The suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of one soldier and the critical injury of another at a Little Rock, Ark., Army recruiting booth today was under investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, ABC News has learned. The investigation was in its preliminary stages, authorities said, and was based on the suspect's travel to Yemen and his arrest there for using a Somali passport. The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, had changed his name from Carlos Leon Bledsoe after converting to the Muslim faith.

Law enforcement sources said he offered no resistance when Little Rock police arrested him today. It was not known what path Muhammad, a U.S. citizen who is a recent convert to Islam, had followed to radicalization."

Just wondering. After all, President Obama is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. This was his man who was gunned down. He ran for this job, and it included being a war time commander. Does he have nothing to say? Here are his comments at the death of Dr. Tiller, the civilian, the abortion doctor, just in case you've forgotten, comments made before there was any investigation as to movtive: "However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."
    ". . . today's Democrats really are isolated from the military. Harry Truman had been an artillery captain; John Kennedy and Carter, Navy officers. But Bill Clinton did everything possible to avoid the draft, and Obama, motivated as he was to public service, never gave a thought to volunteering for the military.

    Nonetheless, circumstances made Obama commander in chief of a nation fighting two wars." David Broder
