Obama says he directed Pentagon to do thorough investigation of  fort hood shooting workplace violence  civilian deaths in Afghanistan.WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says he is directing the Pentagon to conduct a very thorough investigation of the weekend killings of Afghan civilians, allegedly by a U.S. soldier.
Obama says the inquiry will "follow the facts" wherever they lead, and that anyone found responsible will be prosecuted fully. Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has said the death penalty is possible if the soldier is convicted.
Speaking at the White House, Obama says the killings do not reflect American values or the U.S. military. He called the incident tragic and heartbreaking, but he insists it will not change U.S. commitment to finishing the job in Afghanistan.
Obama says the U.S. will "responsibly" withdraw its forces between now and the end of 2014, the date he set with allies to close out the war.Hmmmm.....No 'Workplace violence' this time i guess?Only counts when you kill Americans?Read the full story here.
