WASHINGTON — The Army's chief of staff says the Army is taking a hard look at itself to make certain that something like the Fort Hood rampage doesn't happen again.

The shootings left 13 dead and 29 wounded. The alleged gunman, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan (nih-DAHL' mah-LEEK' hah-SAHN'), was wounded by civilian police.

Gen. George Casey warns against reaching conclusions about motives until investigators have fully explored the attack. Early reports suggest Hasan, a Muslim, was angry about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and worried about his pending deployment to Afghanistan.

Casey says focusing on Hasan's Islamic roots could "heighten the backlash" against all Muslims in the military.

Casey appeared Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Everything but his religion has been blamed.

Yes, since the Army cause such pain for this poor muslim, the Army will be disbanded.

Casey is a total Idiot.

Totally clear about Motive. He is a U.S. born Jihadist....

[GeorgiaDawg32]

unless and until these terrorists can be dealt with in an honest and open fashion WITHOUT those doing the investigating being labeled as bigots, racists and discriminatory, nothing will change regardless what changes they make..

Send hasan to Gitmo’ as an enemy combatant.

There needs to be a backlash against the PC attitudes...

Senator Lieberman “gets it.”

Interpretation:"If I have to go to Afghanistan and risk my life to kill terrorists, I may as well stay in America and kill Americans and at least feel good about it".

Will happen again and again.. won’t stop till we take them out or they take us out.. thats how they do it in the rop.

Everyone needs to understand that Casey and the whole chain of command have to be careful not to be accused of undue command influence. That could be used to get the traitor off or at least mitigate the sentence. Since there is a pretty fair chance Hasan will be charged with treason, they have to be careful.

Unfortunately, for the death sentence to be carried out, the president must personally sign the execution order. Little chance of that until the muslim gets thrown out of office.

In spite of facts and truth being ignored or outright buried in DC and throughout the MSM, the vast majority of Americans understand that this perverse psycho was an Islamic terrorist, pure and simple.

Make the Army a gun-free zone.

Generals lining up to fight the last war again. Typical!

[Bad Jack Bauer]

The “hard look” is going to result in even more PC, rainbows , lollipops and unicorns flying out of ones ass as it rains glitter and puppies. Tough on Muslims? This Army? Yeah, right!

[piytar]

The “answer” will be more “sensitivity training” and more rules against expression of Christian faith. Count on it.

[monocle]

Welcome to doublespeak where perpetrators are the victims and victims are the malefactors.

I'm all for heightening the backlash.

[Natural Law]

How many active, professed, militant Nazi’s were members of the US Armed Forces during WWII?

[WellyP]

It isn't the Army that is at fault, it is the PC directives that have been shoved worn their throat!

The fault is with the DHS, the FBI and local authorities for not looking inside EVERY MOSQUE for “Islamic extremism”!

If “Islamic extremism” is being taught in a Mosque then the should be leveled and any foreign Imams EXPORTED!! NEXT!!
