At the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, he was reprimanded for trying to persuade patients to convert to Islam and fellow pupils objected to his constant “anti-American propaganda,” but, as the Associated Press reported, “a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim student kept officers from filing a formal written complaint.”

Why should the American Army for one minute tolerate one within its ranks spewing anti-American propaganda? What kind of bizzarro world do we live in today?

In a perfect world, General Casey would spend the rest of his life cleaning toilets.

Heck it wouldn’t even have to be a perfect world - a completely fallible human being in the White House with just one ounce of common sense would “retire” this idiot faster than I can type this.

The picture begs a caption. I’m not so sure if they’re lighting candles for the dead, or for Hasan.

As for the military, well, obviously, they’re a bunch of Bush-scarred psychos who could snap at any moment. Newsweek called the mass murder “A Symptom of a Military on the Brink”: “A psychiatrist who was set to deploy to Iraq at the end of the month, Hasan reportedly opened fire around the Fort Hood Readiness Center,” wrote Andrew Bast. “It comes at a time when the stress of combat has affected so many soldiers individually that it makes it increasingly difficult for the military as a whole to deploy for wars abroad.”

ARMY CHIEF-OF-STAFF: "LOSS OF DIVERSITY AT FORT HOOD WOULD BE GREATER TRAGEDY THAN LOSS OF LIFE": Defends Muslims Madness

General George Casey, the highest ranking officer in the U.S. Army, said that the deaths of 12 soldiers and one civilian at Foot Hood would become a far greater tragedy “if our diversity becomes a casualty.”

Appearing on “Meet the Press,” Major Casey warned the media that “it is way too soon to draw conclusions” concerning the motive of Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

He upheld the strategy of keeping Muslims – - even radical Muslims – - in key military positions by saying: “Our diversity is our strength.”

“We have to be broad enough to bring in people from all walks of life,” the General said.

The Army’s Chief-of-Staff asserted: As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.”

General Casey further said that the army hadn’t “missed anything” in regard to the in-your-face warning signs exhibited by Major Hasan that he was a fanatical Muslim jihadist and an imminent threat to massacre U.S. troops.

I haven’t seen that cartoon before, but I like it.

[who knows what evil?]

Out-steyn-ding column...as usual. Thanks, Mark!

Here is an especially pithy comment by "rayco" to the original column at the link:

"We are at war with radical Islam. He identified himself openly as a Radical Muslim. The Army is not just guilty of carrying political correctness too far. The Army is guilty of providing aid and comfort to the enemy."

Good post, Rummyfan. By the way, just a style hint. Next time do it like this “Mark Steyn: Major Nidal Hasan had an enabler.”

The way you have your headline it seems as if you are saying Mark Steyn WAS the enabler! Using the colon indicates it is something someone said, using the three dots indicates it’s something the guy did.

There is no better wordsmith than Steyn:

“...the near parodically absurd revelations
piled up like an overripe satire...”

Agreed. I liked the part about "leaving your marbles with the diversity hat check girl."

Thanks for posting, Rummyfan!
