“As for the suspect, Nadil Hasan, as one officer's wife told me, 'I wish his name was Smith.'”

One thing for sure this murderer was not a right wing wacko.

Someday, we may find a cure.


Yes, we really need to try to be more understanding. Obviously our training, our policies and our whole approach to Islam is lacking. It’s just another failure of our society. /s

Nowadays, telling the truth is a revolutionary act!! Thank you for telling the truth about our govt. media! They just keep protecting our enemies & forget telling the truth.

Finally....someone there is a new book out about a small, American town where the citizens finally stand up to federal tyranny & ends up starting the 2nd American Revolution. They are taking back their country. It’s insightful & shows what’s nxt for the coming 3 yrs.

Now, we see this govt. doing a possible bailout of the media so they can become their voice piece. Just read the book!! It’s powerful & about what we all need to do....stand up for America.

You are right about zero being jolly and giving a “shout out”, but it was hours after the shooting. His staff didn’t deem it important enough to inform him until an hour after the shooting.

He’s such a punk.

If some of my family members had been killed, I don’t know that I could control my temper.

I'm finding it hard to keep my temper, as it is. My stepson, who is stationed at Fort Hood, was actually in the building when this... "individual"... began firing. He fortunately wasn't a casualty, and my prayers go out to those who were, and their families...

ABC's Raddatz Relays: 'I Wish His Name was Smith'

What kind of stupid comment is this? Why isn't this man content to report the news? Why does he have to appologize for being PC incorrect (blaming a Muslim for a crime the Muslim committed)?

Way back in 1971 I was detached from my squadron to Shore Patrol at NAS Quonset Point. We were in charge of general security and our primary weapon was a night stick even though there were nukes on base. (Of course the specific sites had their own security) The idea that some one would indisrimatly start killing people was unthinkable, even in those unstable times..

They do exist. Do a google search for 30 round magazine. Baretta, Glock and Lugar probably others too. They are aftermarket and generally do protrude out the bottom a bit but they work just the same as a 10 rounder, only longer. A lot of states have more recently banned them in that size.

I’m not saying that is the case here, only responding to your question. It’s possible.

I am sure I heard the killers cousin, in a FOX interview state the killer was NOT a convert but a Muslim at birth.

The only people on the base carrying weapons were the MP’s and we don’t know where they were at the time. This is not the same as being overseas in Iraq or Afghanistan where the soldiers carry their weapons wherever they go and would have been able to take this nut down immediately..

Agreed. This was based on older information.

“Yeah the media doesn’t want US to TO GET upset WITH those Muslims.”

I don’t think the media has a logical reason to protect Muslims in the media. I think they avoid criticism of Muslims out of plain old fear of reprisals.

MARK STEYN: MULTICULTURAL ILLUSIONS KILL - NO STRATEGY TO DEFEND AGAINST IDEOLOGY
dakota beacon ^ | November 06, 2009 | Mark Steyn

Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 9:36:18 AM by Mount Athos

Thirteen dead and 31 wounded would be a bad day for the US military in Afghanistan, and a great victory for the Taliban. When it happens in Texas, in the heart of the biggest military base in the nation, at a processing center for soldiers either returning from or deploying to combat overseas, it is not merely a “tragedy” (as too many people called it) but a glimpse of a potentially fatal flaw at the heart of what we have called, since 9/11, the “war on terror”. Brave soldiers trained to hunt down and kill America’s enemy abroad were killed in the safety and security of home by, in essence, the same enemy – a man who believes in and supports everything the enemy does.

And he’s a US Army major.

And his superior officers and other authorities knew about his beliefs but seemed to think it was just a bit of harmless multicultural diversity – as if believing that “the Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor” (ie, his fellow American soldiers) and writing Internet paeans to the “noble” “heroism” of suicide bombers and, indeed, objectively supporting the other side in an active war is to be regarded as just some kind of alternative lifestyle that adds to the general vibrancy of the base.

When it emerged early on Thursday afternoon that the shooter was Nidal Malik Hasan, there appeared shortly thereafter on Twitter a flurry of posts with the striking formulation: “Please judge Major Malik Nadal [sic] by his actions and not by his name.”

The above is an excerpt. Go to the link below for Mark’s complete oped.

It's called brainwashing. That is how they got Obama elected. Decades of brainwashing the US populace.

Well even more than that: He was elected because of White guilt, and the fact he was a liar that was unchallenged by either party or the media.

That was the brainwashing that I was referring to. Decades of it.
