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."

Fort Hood guman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut
How about a hard look at domestic muslims?
Well said.
I haven’t heard that excellent compairson until lately.
It’s said that it’s taken this long.
“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.”
The whitewashing of this TROPPOS’s history of association with violent Jihadists has begun.
May God Damn you Gen Casey, if you steer this into a watered doen pc response to this mass murdering TROPPOS!
I hope the victims sue the army’s and Casey’s ass.
If they knew what this guy was about it would be the height of irresponsibility to allow him to serve.
Our “side” doesn’t use the courts enough to defend our interests,
He absolutely is!!!! Why is it that an Islamicized American kid from Marin county California took up the Jihad cause and was branded and prosecuted as a terrorist but somehow this Palestinian anti-American who METHODICALLY PLANNED the massacre of our military is not? Why is that so hard to comprehend? I am so angry that our soldiers and their families are not going to have justice here.
Can ANYONE in authority worry about the “frontlash”?
Sue where the buck stops!
Need I say?
Not a joke, it will come to that, just like issued condoms for all front line soldiers....
If you’ve ever been on a domestic military base, and I’ve been on plenty doing work for the military, you’ll know they already are gun-free except for MP’s. The weapons on these bases are locked up behind several THICK metal doors and even IF you could get to them, there is no ammo stocked there. It’s held in a separate area.
Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists
*********************************EXCERPT*INTRO********************
Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.

Since the focus here is “backlash against muslims in the military”, the fix will be double political correctness. The cultural effeminacy expressed by this administration will be enforced across the armed services. Even though moslems comprise about.0017% of the personnel, their willingness to commit sudden deadly violence gives them a lot of clout. In the way that one man with a pistol can control a thousand without one, a relative few fanatics can force a weak, sympathetic government to conform to their will.
fyi
thank you! I’m just started adding new links to the archives. Didn’t see this one.
This is bs. The nutjob is a Muslim terrorist. He knew what he was doing and we know what he was doing and our government knows what he was doing.
