Gary Bauer: Ft. Hood Suspect Was ‘Sleeper’ Agent
Washington Independent ^ | 11/6/09 | David Weigel

Posted on 11/07/2009 9:22:25 AM PST by TaxPayer2000

Add another conservative activist to the ranks of people blaming the Ft. Hood massacre on Islam. Here’s Gary Bauer, in his end-of-day email sent to supporters, arguing that while some Muslims are all well and good, “there are also ’sleeper cells’ or ’sleeper individuals’ who are jihadist ticking time bombs inside our own ranks.”

Whole letter after the jump.

Jihad at Fort Hood

Every American this morning should be outraged not only about the murderous rampage against U.S. soldiers in Ft. Hood, Texas, by Major Nidal M. Hasan, but also by the sickening effort of Big Media, and even some U.S. officials, to deceive us about what has taken place.

For eight years we have been fighting radical Islamists around the world, and we have been the victims of jihadist attacks by lone radical Muslims repeatedly here in the U.S. Yet as the story broke of the carnage yesterday, 13 dead and 30 wounded, virtually every major media outlet, along with our own government, seemed to have as their main goal convincing us that the event had nothing to do with terrorism or radical Islam.

But minute-by-minute, more information is coming to light that can’t be ignored. We have found out that six months ago Major Hasan may have defended Muslim suicide bombers on his web page, comparing such acts to the sacrifice a U.S. solider makes when he falls on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers. Col. Terry Lee, who worked with the killer, said Major Hasan had said, “Muslims shouldn’t be fighting Muslims.” Back in June, when a Muslim convert assassinated a U.S. soldier at a recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas, Col. Lee said that Major Hasan seemed happy about the event and that he was confronted by other officers. (You may recall that it took days for Obama to acknowledge that attack, yet the White House issued a rare Sunday statement when late-term abortionist George Tiller was killed.)

In recent weeks, while off the base, Major Hasan started wearing Arabic and religious clothing. He passed out Korans on the morning of the shooting. Survivors in the facility where Major Hasan went on the attack reported that he yelled, “Allahu Akbar,” (Allah is great) before he opened fire – the same words shouted by the jihadists on 9/11 and which have been repeated by our enemy in every attack since.

Nor is this an isolated incident. In June 2003, Sergeant Hasan K. Akbar attacked his fellow soldiers as they gathered in Kuwait to start the liberation of Iraq. He killed two officers and wounded many more. Numerous plots by American Muslims have been uncovered in recent years to attack Fort Dix, the Quantico Marine Corps base and other military facilities.

No one is suggesting that an Al Qaeda operative contacted Major Hasan and ordered yesterday’s attack. But the evidence certainly indicates that Major Hasan was becoming more and more committed to radical Islam and growing increasingly hostile to the American military that paid for his education and repeatedly promoted him. NPR reports, “Hasan was put on probation early in his postgraduate work… He was disciplined for proselytizing about his Muslim faith with patients and colleagues…”

I understand the media’s politically correct mindset. What is inexcusable is why the military and the FBI continue to be so reticent about acknowledging the nature of the enemy we are confronting. Instead of going into denial, our military, the FBI and other intelligence agencies need to admit the obvious. While thousands of loyal American Muslims have served in the military, and some have died with other Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are also “sleeper cells” or “sleeper individuals” who are jihadist ticking time bombs inside our own ranks. Similar attacks are inevitable the longer our leaders engage in self-deception. The brave men and women in uniform, who are on the front lines in Afghanistan and Iraq, should not have to worry about being killed at home by the same enemy they are fighting abroad.

I felt guilty and an alarmist when the first thought coming to my mind after hearing this mutt is muslim was he was part of a sleeper cell and got the signal to complete his assigned assignment. I thought this after reading about the recent information about homegrown terrorists. I don't’ know what to believe and what to chalk up to imagination.

Actually, this is the new strategy of the world wide Jihadist movement. I don't think it will be the last one either.

Telling the truth is now an act of sedition.

When lawmakers and law enforcement break the law, lie about the law, and selectively enforce the law according to their whims, then there isn't any law.

Just a fight to the death for survival and dominance.

And we aren't yet fighting back.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Maybe. Reportedly someone else purchased the FN 5.7 pistol at a local gun store.

No reason to do that, since it's good bet the Muzzi Major had a clean record and would have passed the instant background check easily.

He’s a Muslim. He’s been noted as a ticking time bomb for years. He hates America. He shouts “Allahu Akbar” while slaughtering soldiers like a butcher.

What’s not to understand?

From this thread:

” you, me and EVERYONE on FR know what this POS was and is a muzzie terrorist and know what yesterday was...TERRORISM! PERIOD “

It’s insulting to everyone’s intelligence for the media and the public affairs spokesmen, including General Casey yesterday,
to continue to talk about the need for more PTSD “ programs “ to prevent further attacks like this.
I don’t recall the media giving Timothy McVeigh the PTSD whitewash 24/7
like they’re trying to do to Hasan.
It’s also insulting to the soldiers who have served honorably on multiple deployments , whether they’re in counseling or not-
to make them all out to
be potential mass murderers.
Having said that...last night Anderson Cooper ( who has given the military good and fair coverage of late )
had on someone who was
in the Masters of Public Health program with Hasan.
He said the guy was often inappropriate in class.
One time they were each to give a presentation about the environment and public health.
Hasan’s presentation was an anti US military diatribe.
He and others raised their hands and complained to the professor and were waved off ,
Hasan was allowed to finish.
In another class on public health,
he was allowed to deliver a PowerPoint presentation on how to be a suicide bomber.
The members of that class complained to their superiors and warned them
that Hasan was a “ ticking time bomb. “
Cooper , at least , doesn’t seem to be buying the PTSD cover up.

I don’t think he was part of a larger conspiracy because if he WAS he’d have come up with a way to kill a lot more soldiers.

He had a degree in biochemistry, and someone like that would be used by Al Queda to create bio warfare and kill more people than is possible with pistol.

I think he just hated infidels and decided to kill a bunch, but wasn’t part of any larger conspiracy.
