Where Matthews is doing everything to link this to stress about going to Iraq and how evil the Iraq war is.

Matthew = POS

They have compared it in appearance to other terrorist attacks and actions carried out by seemingly normal professionals (the doctors in England, the Army Reservist trying to talk to Al Qaeda…).

Everyone else is suggesting it was PTSD.

If a person pulls out a gun when i’m in a crowd of people and starts shootin that is terrorist attack no matter what religion the person is. Guns are for shooting jackrabbits not people.

The guy was at Walter Reed for six years, so the facility problems no doubt stressed him out, therefore blame Bush.

Of course he had a brief respite from his troubles when he accepted a promotion six months ago, but then relapsed when he was to be deployed.

“We condemn this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law. No religious or political ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence. The attack was particularly heinous in that it targeted the all-volunteer army that protects our nation. American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens in offering both prayers for the victims and sincere condolences to the families of those killed or injured.”

when there’s Republicans and Christians to go after,
The media knows who the real enemies are. You can’t fool these intellectuals.

This was not a terrorist act. It was an act of war. There is a difference.

Hmmm, Kleinheider. I think there was a confidant of Hitler by that name, rather high up in the Nazi party.
Different person entirely, but “interesting nonetheless”.

Unbelievable.

The man was a muslim so this is islamic extremism, the media has started writing excuses so can I. My brother-in-law is suffering from PTSD to a small degree, but he would never ever kill his brother in arms. I will ask of few Marines on base tomorrow what they think about this, let’s see if they agree with the MSM take, I have a feeling they will say this guy was a traitor/terrorist and deserves a firing squad.

How many more times will this happen before something is done to stop it?

these folks that were shot and murdered routinely displayed “offensive” insignia on their sleeves and generally asked for it bacause of their career calling. No tragedy here… nothing compared to the loss of a doctor as blameless as the infants he routinely destroyed.

Yeah it’s a hammy comment- but unfortunately true because of biased blatancy of our agenda driven press.

I knew Nidal Hasan professionally. He was obsessed with being Muslim (and not just in a devout-practitioner-of-a-religion way) and was making comments similar to those reported on Fox by COL (Ret) Terry Lee as of a few years ago when I knew him. It became clear that he thought we, the U.S., were the aggressors in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that he wasn’t really on our side. IMHO, he realized he wasn’t going to get out of his pending deployment and decided to take as many of our side out as he could rather than support our side on Muslim soil.

Fla Mom

Aslo, he got his education, including medical school and residency, all on the Army coin.

Even Fox is afraid to pointout the obvious….

Lessons need to be learned, but I’m afraid our social engineering occuring in the military will prevent the proper lesson.

NEWS BREAK: HE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

our military, is naive at best; however, finding out who they are is too difficult short of waiting for incidents like today to happen.

… anyone down.

The worst part about this is that it’s inevitably going to trigger a new round of calls for gun control from the lunatic left, who think the Constitution and the 2nd amendment only apply when convenient.

in Quantico MCB that is not Ft Hood.

is that the same public who voted President Obama into office will accept the media’s version and influence of the event.

It’s a shame jackasses always have to invoke Tim McVeigh into situations like these.

Our PC society strikes again.

I can tell you from experience, the FBI is political. It worries more about itself than anything else. As good as some of their agents are, the vast majority are career minded demi-politicians who will not jeopardize their chances of promotion and retirement.

I heard the shooting was deemed not a terrorist act almost immediately by the FBI. Defined how exactly? Do you have to blow up a building with a van, or fly planes into something to qualify?

I spent almost twenty years on the job and found the feds to be nice guys for the most part but not that swift as far as catching bad guys. It wasn’t really their job. 9/11 changed that for many of them at the street level, but their bosses are still the same.

For years after 9/11 the Bush administration did their best to not highlight the Muslim angle on violent crimes. Instead, they demanded a high threshold concerning what qualified as “a terrorist act”. They would emphasize the good catches they made before an attack could be carried out, but downplayed the ones they missed (the D.C. sniper shootings for one).

There have been a number of attacks, usually involving a singular individual, against people in this nation in the name of Islam. The reason the government looks the other way is, of course, political. In their defense, they realize the HUGE problem they would face if it was admitted the attacks were committed by “Muslims.” The mistrust we have now would be multiplied ten-fold. Revenge attacks could occur and that would only cause more problems. This is probably a goal of the terrorists, and a reason why we shouldn’t allow it to happen.

However, that said, we should not turn a blind eye here. If you will notice, we aren’t being shot up by Episcopalians, or Jews, or Baptists. The shooters are Muslims. The hard fact is we are allowing the breeding of radicals in our own nation and we protect that act with our sense of free speech. It wouldn’t be so hard to take, if free speech was actually free. However, today we face an administration which thinks it can tell us when to speak and when to stay silent. Pelosi wanted to stop the protesters from showing up today in D.C. The radical democrats want to silence talk radio and monitor what we can and cannot say to each other over the Internet. At the same time, radical clerics are teaching prisoners in jail that the “white devil must die” and do it without restraint or comment from this government. It is truly a “Huh?” moment, but shows the depths our dysfunctional society has sunk.

If we don’t get a handle on this low level act of terrorism we are witnessing, we could end up suffering a death from a thousand cuts. Or, maybe we’ll wake up again when some mall somewhere is attacked and hundreds of innocents are murdered. Hopefully, then the FBI will get out their checklist and run down the qualifications and come to the conclusion, that we are in fact still at war.

Tom Clancy wrote a novel about this type of terrorism- Teeth of the Tiger. Somebody should listen to him.

One sorry point, and I mean no disrespect..
What are out armed servicemen doing walking around unarmed?
I do not carry…mostly because I don’t feel like packing around an anchor in my pocket. But I wish at this point that every citizen and armed forces employee had been gunned up to the teeth.
So much loos could have been spared, and I do apologize, hindsight is 20/20 but there it is.
There is no good to be had in this incident. None.
I would encourage all our military personnel to carry firearms at all times, not as a requirement, but to underline the principle, of defending against all threats, foreign and domestic.
My condolences to all.

My son (a somewhat remiss Catholic) has a close friend who speaks Arabic and is a (somewhat remiss) Muslim. He is a good Marine and was indispensible to his unit on two deployments to Iraq. I hope he will not be indicted for the actions of this deranged terrorist. (And yes, this Hasan IS a “terrorist” by definition — not necessarily internationally sponsored, but he did terrorize a group of people — a whole nation — today.)

But please recognize this event for what it is: the heinous act of a mentally ill individual. Few Muslims will condone this act.

By then, the news reports might have some chance of being accurate.

The liberals will be shouting his religion from the rooftops. Watch what happens they will portray him as the victim. They will say that “white Christian fundamentalists” made his life so miserable that they pushed him over the edge.

His cousin started that tonight. It is be the beginning of his insanity defense.

so were these (DOCTOR) clowns that finally decided the prefered to aid the other side:

I remember that an Army Ranger, who was a Muslim, threw a grenade into his commanding officers tent.

Does anyone remember this? I have tried to find info on it to do a compare, contrast with Hasan, but have been unable to do so. Am I mistaken, or did an Army Ranger throw a grenade in his commanding officers tent?

I know it is a comment on me, but from the first report all I could think was “How will Obama use this”, “How will the Left use this”?

   While discussing this situation while it was unfolding, my dad mentioned something he had read or heard about previously.  Apparently, some documents must’ve been uncovered during a raid on a terrorist camp stating how they could infiltrate military posts and wait for the opportunity to strike there without raising any suspicions of their true motives.  This must’ve brought that back up.

   Unfortunately, our mass media probably won’t be willing to actually investigate this to find out the truth, while dozens (and likely hundreds) of us are being lined up with targets on our backs in preparation for the next terror strike.  Political Correctness has made it so that we can’t do anything about the true existential threat to our culture and lives: radical Islam and the political factions which drive it towards a goal of world domination by terror.

ISLAM “CONVERT”…MASS MURDERER
Tx. shooter has a moslem name…I am (not) shocked…Palestinian parents…wonder who his contacts (if any) were?
The Tx. shooter had a history of radical statements…I am (not) shocked…
he arrived at work in religious garb…he bravely shouted “Allah” before shooting the unarmed.
(another case of the “moslem radical elephant in the room” for months that nobody had the nerve to deal with in time…so people died)
His website viewing log and perhaps his mosque attendance speeches…may tell investigators interesting stuff…we shall see.
from The Houston Chronicle:
Hasan’s motives were unclear, and early on Thursday, he showed no signs of worry or stress when he stopped at 7-Eleven for his daily breakfast of hash browns, said Jeannie Strickland, the store’s manager.
“He came in (Thursday) morning just like normal,” she said. (WEARING RELIGIOUS GARB IS NORMAL for a a major going to work???)
However, surveillance video showed he was wearing religious attire rather than typical civilian or medical clothing.
Strickland said that was unusual and she asked him about it, but he replied that he did that sometimes.
(MAKES YOU WONDER…CAN NON-ISLAMISTS ALSO DO THAT???)
A few hours later, officials said, the Virginia native began his rampage on the post. Fort Hood, near Killeen.
Federal law enforcement officials told the Associated Press that Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
One of the Web posts that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.
“To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause,” said the Internet posting. “Scholars have paralled (sic) this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.”
The officials say Hasan appeared to have made the postings, but they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was NOT opened. (AND THE REASON IS???)

Will CAIR refute this mass murderer? What can we learn from this?

I heard on the radio when the Army major (psychiatrist) heard he was going to Iraq, he requested a discharge. In hindsight, they should have granted him the discharge.

I think every officer in charge of every military base state-side should be issuing rifles to very many soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors, with standing orders to be locked and loaded, in case other Muslims decide they want to follow this guy’s lead.

But that’s just me.

Oh and next time an officer hears somebody making anti-American remarks like this guy clearly did, they should take action. At least report it to their superiors. This guy had been making remarks for weeks about how we shouldn’t be in Iraq and Afghanistan. But everybody was being Politically Correct, just letting it slide.

Because he is Muslim.

Eric, this appears to another preemptive strike by the far, far right to the far, far left.

It’s a great diversion for those of us who struggle in life’s gray realities.

Lets give him his due process. Let’s procedurally try him, lets procedurally find him guilty and then let’s procedurally hang him and nail a shoe to his forehead. Then let’s broadcast that vision to the world. Let’s help this pile of islamic dung find the virgins he was promised.

Bill Pullman in “Independence Day”: “We will not go quietly into that good night, for this is our Independence Day!”

Just a thought and a memo for our President. Our country was founded on many Judeo-Christian principles. None of those principles refers to other religions as “unbelievers” and/or “infidels” and none attempt to superimpose their will and laws over those which now exist in our free society. We are a country of choices and while we must choose tolerance, we must reject accomodation. Our founders fled the suppression of Judeo-Christian principles and did not intend us to accomodate those which reject them, only be tolerant of them.

Before all else this miscreant was a coward. He had no qualms about taking
one half million dollars worth of education on the military’s dime. Moreover
he took a solemn oath to defend the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic. He has been trained to believe in God since his infancy and so knows the grave sin one commits when one is forsworn. He spent 10 years on his ass watching other soldiers being deployed and in some cases extended while he was safe and sound listening to the histories of the bravest people we have as a nation produced. Any other soldier worthy of the name would hope that if he was placed in such a position he too would behave with the courage his patients displayed. He never was placed in an area of live ordnance but like some 4 year old listening to a horror story he decides he is in imminent danger just hearing their stories. He did not join the Corp de Ballet at the NY Met he took up willingly the profession of arms.
He took loaded weapons and turned on his confreres, his brothers and
sisters in arms and performed a massacre upon them. He had to reload those weapons or at least one of them at least once. He is evil not
mentally ill and to regard him as such dishonors the dead. I am a Vietnam
veteran and 97 % of us came home picked up the pieces of our lives
and never ceased to love America DESPITE the far left cowards
who even today would rob us of all our freedoms. Don’t waste sympathy on this worthless member of our species. He should be ashamed when
women just like me have the will to defend this country while he shirks
his duty and hides behind his religion. The first function of the military is the study and waging of war. If one feels faint at the thought of either of
these activities one might be better suited to a civilian environment.

I think just as a precaution,any muslim in the military should be given an evaluation every few months and also have their intermet checked on,and their mosque.If they are gaoin to let them in the military then they should make sure of their motives,no matter how long they have been there. But I was thinking of another viewpoint that hasn’t come up yet,but with this administration could possibly come up in the future. What if our government told us to go to Israel?Being a christian,would you be able to kill Gods’ chosen people? This could someday be a possibility! After all, it is no secret that Obama is not for the Israelies. What is the difference in this and a muslim not wanting to kill fellow muslims? These are things that are going to come up if this administration is not kicked out! Seems to me that the records of our president are very important,to where he stands on some of these facrs,but that is just me.

Steyn on fire. It really is absurd. This guy has been an ocean away from a battle zone, yet the media is in such denial that they are coming up with the lamest rationalizations.

goes out to everyone affected by this at Ft Hood and wherever else they may be in the world.

If this SOB lives through his injuries he should be executed for treason.

I was stationed at Ft Hood 3 times from the mid 1980′s until late 1990s.

This guy knew his victims would have little to no defense because of the DoD policies that create essentially gun-free zones* out of military installations. He has committed murder and treason in the same act and deserves to stop breathing and go straight to hell.

*Most of the Military’s weapons are generally locked up until used for training/deployment and personal weapons so severely restricted they are essentially banned from normally having them on base or not locked up somewhere.

and if they need volunteers for the firing squad, let me know… I will bring my own bullets for me and the rest of the firing squad… check the name… ironic,isn’t it?
