At Fort Hood, Witness Credits Second Officer
The New York Times ^ | November 11, 2009 | James C Mckinley, Jr

Posted on 11/12/2009 5:08:28 AM PST by circumbendibus

KILLEEN, Tex. — Sgt. Kimberly D. Munley has been applauded as a hero across the nation for shooting down Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan during the bloody rampage at Fort Hood last week. The account of heroism, given by the authorities, attracted the attention of newspapers, the networks and television talk shows.

But the story of how the petite police officer and the accused gunman went down in an exchange of gunfire does not agree with the account of an eyewitness who had gone to the base’s processing center, where the shooting occurred, to conduct business before being deployed

At last, some real reporting from the New York Times. Army is still not talking because Nidal is linked to Obama administration as he was an advisor to their transition team. We all know about the Al Quaeda links now and Obama is in denial.

Anyway, I guess religion trumps race and gender in Obama's mind (Hasan is Muslim. Todd is Black. Munley is female.) Obama should have singled Todd and Munley in his speech on Tuesday for their extraordinary heroism. How about a Presidential Medal of Freedom?

Doesn’t matter who took him down, only that he was taken down. True heroes don’t need publicity.

Obama is not in denial. To the contrary...

Presidential Medal of Freedom?

These are reserved for those who can yield some political hay with splinter groups like

Those who show real heroism are not considered because they don't appease some special interest group.

Uh huh...Indeed

Hasan will be tried in a Military Court. No terrorisdm charge!! They can ask for the death sentence but it will have to be approved by our Muslim President. He'll probably apologize to Hasan instead.

“I just relied back on my training,” Sergeant Todd said. “We’re trained to shoot until there is no longer a threat. And once he was laying down on his back, his weapon just fell into his hand and I’m, like, ‘O.K., now’s the time to rush him and secure him.’ ”

The Old Gay Lady done fired most of her editors, hayna? I'd bet Sergeant Todd actually said that said jihadi's weapon fell out of said jihadi's hand.

Nidal was an "event participant" in the George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute's Presidential Transition Task Force, between April 2008 and January 2009.

Nidal is listed as an event participant in this link:

Obama apparently didn’t hear “Allah Akbar” in the news reports.

Funny, sad to say, but so true. Liberals have no no sense of right and wrong. Everything is a negotiation, a debate to them. Obama didn't say the police officers acted "stupidly" this time. He just ignored them and their heroism.

Thank you for the link tying Hasan to Obama administration. Please ping me if you see any MSM pick up on this fact. Hasan is guilty not only of murder, but also sedition and treason. If Obama can be linked, so be it.

“I’m really p***** about the original account!!!”

Just another indication of how little regard they (the MSM) have for determining the truth or ensuring the accuracy of their reports.
