Gen. Casey, Rep. Wilson and the Jackson Five

"...The conspirators were in the Army’s 902nd Military Intelligence Group’s MOS 09L program (“Lima Nine”), E Company, 187th Ordnance Battalion. Lima Nine was started because of the Army’s desperate lack of linguists speaking Pashto, Dari or Arabic. To attract such recruits, military intelligence promises foreigners that if they join the Army as a translator they will get U.S. citizenship and a top security clearance. Candidates from Afghanistan and Iraq, including the Jackson Five, speak such poor English the Army puts them in Lima Nine and gives them English lessons, so they will have some hope of passing basic training. Clayton Leishman, program manager, said 34 recruits in the program last summer scored 50 in English, below the 80 required, but with 24 weeks of tutoring they would pass basic. Another program director, Lt. Col. Frank Deminth, said Lima Nine recruits are put on a fast track to U.S. citizenship, “once they serve one day of honorable active duty.” It is interesting to note that when these Muslims join Lima Nine they also are joining an Army intelligence group.

The arrest of five Muslims in Lima Nine could not have come at a worse time for Gen. Casey, who said of Hasan’s massacre, “What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy. But I think it would be a greater tragedy if it (affected) our diversity.” Whatever hour of the night he was told about the Jackson Five, it must have seemed to him his treasured ‘diversity’ had jumped up yet again to bite his four-starred posterior. Casey must have leaped into action. As a result, what happened was nothing—for two months. Dead silence. Then CBN found out about it, and conflicting statements by Army and CID spokesmen and by Rep. Wilson tell the rest of the story."

This is from the Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson's web-based news venture. I'm just taking my first look at it and stumbled onto this. So far, short as it is, it's the only informative article on the suppressed Ft. Jackson poisoning scandal. Short but to-the-point. It's even worse than I imagined. The military is so desperate for linguists it's throwing all standards and security out the window in order th get them. I mean seriously, folks, recruiting translators who could barely speak English, promising them citizenship and giving them an intelligence billet while apparently not knowing them from Adam? No wonder the coverup, the Army clearly did not want details of this effed-up program to see the light of day, let alone that it had been utterly compromised. Good thing these five losers were such nitwits, far better to have stayed in and worked their way up the military food chain before making a move. As it stands, keeping a tight lid on things for two solid months, then quietly deporting four of the five and concealing their names could not possibly look worse.

The Daily Caller has it's own correspondents so it deals in fresh not just recycled.

Barack Obama is a pathological liar, and his weasel "General" Casey is an opportunist who will share Obama's lies in order to sustain his personal career.

Neither Casey nor Obama give a rat's ass about the safety of our Troops, and they will not allow them or ANYONE for that matter to know about muslims who are murdering or attempting to murder America's Patriots in uniform.

... could not have come at a worse time for Gen. Casey, who said of Hasan’s massacre, “What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy.

There is a certain amount of politics at these levels in the military. Casey, however, has a terminal case.
