It was Jihad within the ranks, like the case of Sgt. Asan Akbar in 2003.
This Hasan has been a live one for a long time, even suggestiong that more Muslims should attack and kill us after the Arkansas recruiter was killed.
Hopefully he will get the same sentence that Akbar got...and hopefully, unlike Akbar, it will be carried out swiftly.
Maybe they can have a double execution, executed by firing squad with pig-blood soaked bullets, having them fall into a trench of pig entrails before being buried there. It’s what he deserves in his own mind...and it’s time we started playing with their minds, IMHO, just like that. It may save American life if they realize in their own minds that their Jihad will be foiled and they will not got to Heaven for their 72.
How can anyone deny this was terrorism?
Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Every muslim is a risk of it.
The msm is trying to blame the U.S fighting in Afganistan.
The FACT is he didn’t want to kill fellow MUSLIMS.
But, but, but they don’t have a motive yet.
Muslim traitor recipe: lightly grease rope with pig fat and hang him.
Off topic question. Do the wounded (and dead) soldiers from this incident get the purple heart? Is this considered line of duty?
Cone did not speculate on a motive, but the army released a statement saying the shootings did not appear to be an act of political terrorism. Two other people were questioned and then released.
Federal law enforcement officials told Associated Press that Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of his web postings, which 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. It's more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause," said the post. "Scholars have paralled [sic] this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers."
Phenominal that these statements could be made together. It was not an act of political terrorism, but he came to their attention because of his political terror statements.
It was Jihad within the ranks plain and simple and we'd best figure out the nature of the enemy and cull them from our ranks. This guy had been giving off the signs for a LOG time and yet was still in uniform working with soldiers going to and returning from the war.
Of course he was harassed. Making the kind of statements he did against the war and for the enemy in the presence of other soldiers who were either going to war or returning fromit ensured that he would be...and I do not blame those soldiers one bit.
The blame falls on Hasan himself and those who left him, after the reports came in, in that position. He was a treacherous enemy within the ranks and he ultimately went Jihad.
Well stated...I hope more people wake up to that fact before it's too late.
Come to think of it, a lot of people need a lot of waking up to do, real soon!
How on earth can the Army deny this was terrorism? It is an OBVIOUS case of Islamic terror. PC kills.
Doing that would require a whole can of worms to be opened,
and they are AFRAID to do so.
Incredibly, the media still has no clue of a motive for the killings.
This is absolute insanity. Whether or not he has some sort of “fear” of going to Afghanistan, what he shouted indicates a clear motive to please Allah by killing Americans.
END OF STORY.
Our RELIGION of PC horse doo is biting us in the a#@!!!
You knew this was coming, but I don't understand how military types can trust the lives of our men and women who serve to losers like this. THAT is a criminally negligent state of things.
If you won't admit the realities of living in the 21st century... at least have the intelligence to make enough of a compromise with reality to the extent of protecting yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly.
I wonder who he was in contact with. We'll learn as much about this as we now know of 0's academic record. The press will assist any way they can.
This is the first act of domestic terror since 0 got elected. It hasn't been a year that he's been in office. More to come.
The Army can deny it because it’s the very mindset that allowed this lunatic to wear a uniform long after he showed signs of disenchantment with our involvement in Iraq/Afghanistan.
Do we have any sense, yet, or reports of celebratory reactions anywhere else in the world?
This man may be executed, but nothing beyond that will happen. In fact classes to understand the stress that these Amish suffer will be held.
Only 13 killed. It will take hundreds, thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands before the political will exists to make the fundamental changes needed.
Yup, kind of like another issue I can think of...
