On MSNBC, I heard General McCafferty state that he didn't believe that it was a terrorist attack, and that instead, he believes it was a criminal enterprise.

Can you believe it?

I’ve got news for him, when it involves this number of people, it is a terrorist attack. This is a message sending event. It wasn’t an event that sought to pay back one person or even a small group of people.

Nearly 30 victims, leaves no doubt this was intended to make a statement.

It is MSNBC news for loooooonys.

The first thought of a DOD friend of mine in Texas, whose father is a retired colonel, was that this was a robbery or drug deal gone bad. He grew up in the Fort Hood area after his father's retirement, so I presume his initial opinion was based on local knowledge.

I told him that 2+ shooters and 20+ casualties were reported, whereupon he changed his opinion to terrorism by local jihadis, and said that the federale Cone of Silence would come down immediately if they suspect terrorism.

Right. Sure it was. </sarc>

If I was a drug dealer, a fenced and guarded military base would NOT be my first choice to engage in a fire-fight. If a mass shooting happened in a bar or pizza place just off the base, THEN I might think it was gang related.

There is reason to believe that is a very possible scenario. There are rumors that Ft. Hood was rife with corruption, from the command structure on down.

Tomorrow's headline may read "PX robbery gone bad".

I remember Col. Hunt was saying the exact same thing on Fox during the DC Sniper killings. He was dead wrong.
