It's a mystery. Probably one that will never be solved: (From Associated Press) Soldiers who witnessed the shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" before opening fire, the base commander said Friday....
The motive for the shooting wasn't clear, but Hasan was apparently set to deploy soon and had expressed some anger about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Personally, I blame Bush. Update by Barbarossa: Instapundit adds this tidbit:
On NPR I heard I cant find the story on their website yet that he had given a presentation on the Koran at a professional conference where he claimed that unbelievers should be beheaded, burned, etc. to the discomfiture of the attendees.
But nobody saw this coming...
The military really needs to take a close look at the mosque this guy attended. He didn’t come up with these killings all on his own. I would bet on it.
“unclear” ??? Huh..??? What rock are they living under?
Whatever his motive was, I’m just glad it had nothing to do with islam..
They have GOT to be kidding!
Anybody who “personally blames Bush” this far removed is grabbing at straws IMHO.
It would be funny if willful blindness weren’t so incredibly dangerous to our national security.
Unclear my a$$!. Just ask yourself why we didn’t permit members of the Nazi party to serve in the US military during WWII.
>> The motive for the shooting wasn’t clear
Yup, pretty fuzzy reason - you never know what sets ‘em Amish off, do you?
Wait - what? He wasn’t Amish?
Uh, Fox news is totally perplexed too. I think it was Bill Hemmer
asking a psychologist the motivation. The psychologist thought
the man must have had some mental issues and did not want
to be deployed. Nothing else mentioned.
I just read some facebook comments that I must share: WARNING>>>HUGE HURL FACTOR:
“what is happening to our soldiers~ there is nothing beautiful about this war, it’s poisoning souls. I send my love.”
“Soldiers being over-deployed for a war without end and pushed to the breaking point.”
Ba- "rack".
The stupidity on display here by the AP would be comparable to Chickens wondering what’s the problem with Col Saunders guy.
They literally aren’t smart enough to remain among the living.
Has anything good ever happened after someone shouts “Allahu Akbar”? Do Chritians shout “Praise Jesus” then start murdering people? What is wrong those people?
I see you are unfamiliar with the Jawa. That was pure sarcasm. I urge you to read his website. It is hilarious.
Snip: U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican from Austin, was briefed by military officials and said Hasan had taken some unusual classes for someone studying about mental health.
He took a lot of extra classes in weapons training, which seems a little odd for a psychiatrist, McCaul said.
As usual the media is avoiding the obvious.
A Muslim stands on a table, shouts Allah Akbar before slaughtering 13 people and injuring another 30, and they wonder what caused this outrage.
Yes - i think we found it. Hasan is a victim too!!
