Cowards
self | 6NOV09 | Marie

Posted on 11/06/2009 12:42:23 PM PST by Marie

Today, this army wife is mad as hell.

This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey.

During the Q&A period, every question and answer centered around Combat Stress and suicides among our military.

Not ONE person addressed the FACT that this was an individual practicing his view of Islamic Jihad.

After the press conference, the cameras went back to Shep Smith at the FOX studios. The first thing he said was, “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘Why did he do this?’”

Why? WHY, you ask??

Let me tell you cowards in the media WHY. Hassan was a Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist. He did it to strike fear and grief in the hearts of Americans. He did it to hurt our military and to further the cause of Islam.

He didn’t do it because he had PTSD, compassion fatigue or combat stress. He is not your average everyday PVT Joe Snuffy.

He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist.

And you damn well know it.

Today I am ashamed of our media. I am ashamed of our POTUS. I am ashamed of our leadership.

Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards who are terrified of giving offense. You do a disservice to the brave men and women who have been killed and injured in your defense.

Stop insulting the solders by implying that they’re all capable of this due to the stress of war. Stop insulting our military by implying that they don’t take care of our troops.

Grow a pair and call it what it is - TERRORISM.

Maybe if we make up excuses for animals behaving like animals - they will like us and want to be our friends.

You know, peace through weakness.

Me too Marie.
I was outraged that the two Washington Admin spinners were sent to Ft. Hood with victims suffering.
AND FUNERALS BEING PLANNED.
Standing there trying to blame the military.
It was an unforgivable outrage.

Everyone knows that this was a terrorist act inspired by lifelong membership in the middle eastern cult of death that promotes world domination through violence and is cleverly disguised as a religion, but they are afraid of having their own heads chopped off, or being fired from their jobs.

The soldiers were innocent lambs sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

Mass deportations.

I have yelled at the TV and radio these same sentiments. There are none so blind as those who will not see. They know WHY. They cannot voice their opinions as to why. They cannot function in a PC world. They ignore any references to Islam or Muslim as if it were instant death. WE all know why...............

I’m adding this to my Tea Party protest signs. This is an act of terrorism and I, for one, will have the courage to call it what it is.

He fell into the madness of murderous jihadism. We’ve been trying for years to tell people that orthodox Islam is madness at its core, now here’s an example. There could be no Christian equivalent to it since there is no New Testament command for anything analogous to jihad killing.

I’m so proud of you and all of the military families who keep America safe and free. I’m just so darn sick of the hyper political-correctness that puts you great people more at risk than you already are. All I can say is that I’m behind you 100%. The current civilian leaderhsip and some of the top uniformed brass are simply not worthy of the fine people protecting this country. Hoping for change in 2010/2012.
