Army Major with three Arab names goes on a shooting rampage at Ford Hood, killing 12 other soldiers. The U.S. President, also with three Arab names, has been briefed about the matter. And I’m supposed to feel comforted?
The media are saying that it’s not terrorism, so that’s my first clue that it’s terrorism. The only other scenario is that the suspect is a black American convert to Islam, and therefore this was a typical black crime. However, going on a rampage and shooting twelve people at one time isn’t typical black behavior.
UPDATE: KTVI on Twitter says he’s Jordanian. Only the damned fool Yankee Army would accept these kind of people and then turn around and make them Officers while we’re fighting a war against their ilk.
UPDATE: NBC reports that Major Hasan was a mental health professional. Do I have to say something about the damned fool Yankee Army again?
UPDATE: The U.S. Army evidently doesn’t like its own soldiers packing heat on or off base. That makes them sitting ducks for tragedies like these.

Yelled “Allah u Akbar” before shooting. Proof: Terrorism.
Claire McCaskill said she was “sick” about the “tragedy.” She should be enraged about the terrorist hate.
He has a long history of making internet posts and ranting in person about how wonderful jihadists were/are. And yet, he was never disciplined for any of this, and was even promoted to Major during this time span.
The Deputy Director of an organization of Muslim veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces says that there has not been one incident of religious harassment against Muslims in the military. This contradicts what the suspect’s relative told Shep Smith on Fox. The more fundamental question in my mind is this — Why isn’t there any harassment of Muslims in the Armed Forces, while we’re supposedly in a low level racial holy war against them? There ought to be. If this organization of Muslim vets isn’t seeing this harassment, it’s probably because most Muslims in the U.S. Armed Forces are black American converts to Islam.
Suspect was a homeland security adviser to the Obama transition team.

Evidently, there is a whole community of Muslims at Hood.
Many of those who knew Major Hasan knew that something bad was about to happen, but were scared to report him. Why, you ask? Two words: Flying Imams. The CAIR has blood on its hands.

Not even God’s messengers can figure out why Major Hasan did what he did. Amazing that little ole me, just some schmuck from flyover schmuckville, can figure it out, but the Army’s own preachers can’t.
The CIA knew that Major Hasan was actively linking himself with AQ. This is why I don’t believe that numerous CIA surveillance powers and spying mechanisms are a panacea, even if they’re constitutional. The reason is that the CIA, FBI, ATF and the whole alphabet gang can easily gather information about Hasan and his ilk. The problem is that the information they gather show that protected minority racial and religious groups are mostly the ones being terroristical boogie woogies, so the information gets sent to File 13. It’s like London and Chicago having surveillance cameras on every corner — Fine as far as it goes, but they show mostly blacks doing the crime. Therefore, the video gets panned.
General Casey, please do something for me that nobody else that regurgitates the same mindless bromide that you just did seems to be able to do. And that is this: Tell me why or how our diversity is our strength. And don’t say that diversity is a strength because it means many different kinds of people in one place — that is a DEFINITION of diversity. But that doesn’t explain why/how it’s a strength. I can think of 13 plus 31 reasons right off the top of my head why it ISN’T a strength.
It is said that Flimsy Grahamnesty has jumped the shark over the Hasan question. If you ask me, that jumped that shark many many episodes ago.
Sappy Crappy Nappy is worried about an “anti-Muslim backlash.” She should have been more worried about a Muslim frontlash.
Major Hasan was a frequent customer at local strip joints. He last went to one certain establishment a week before he started shooting. The 9/11 hijackers also liked strip clubs. Perhaps the FBI can forecast future terrorist attacks by going to strip joints and watch for Muslims. Wouldn’t you like to be on that detail? :) Your wife might be a harder sell.
About the PTSD excuse — He had not yet been deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan, and, as a psychiatrist, wouldn’t have engaged in active combat anyway.

Like Mayor Daley, I think the gun issue can be blamed. The only difference is that he thinks there are too many, while I think there weren’t enough.
BTW, guess who ordered gun control on military bases. As if you had to guess…
Hasan: “We love death more than you love life.” Quoting his hero and mentor, one Osama bin Laden.
The FBI has opened an investigation, though don’t expect that to go anywhere — like the Armed Forces, the FBI has been in big time Muslim kiss ass mode for most of this decade.
PJB rings in on the issue, though what he said can be boiled down to just a few familiar words: Ye cannot be the servant of two masters.

It turns out the heroism of the woman MP might be a little bit of an embellishment. I think that social concern for gender issues is involved, because the whistleblower wants to remain anonymous, otherwise he is worried that his telling the truth would damage his military career.

In violation of doctor-patient confidentiality laws and edicts, Hasan snitched on his own patients, who admitted to him that they committed acts not square with the ACLU Handbook.
