Hey, Fred. Good morning.

Let’s hope the truth, or even something close, comes out.

Is this another Workplace Incident.
I will also bet that Bales is sentenced before Nidal Malik Hasan!

Members of the Afghan delegation investigating the killings said one Afghan guard working from midnight to 2 a.m. saw a U.S. soldier return to the base around 1:30 a.m. Another Afghan soldier who replaced the first and worked until 4 a.m. said he saw a U.S. soldier leaving the base at 2:30 a.m. It is unknown whether the Afghan guards saw the same U.S. soldier. If the gunman acted alone, information from the Afghan guards would suggest that he returned to base in between the shooting rampages.

Unfortunately, with all the contradictory information I've seen so far, the truth is what they will make it.

The Fort Hood shooting was a mass shooting that took place on November 5, 2009,

Hasan was formally arraigned on July 20, 2011. He did not enter a plea, and the judge granted a request by Hasan’s attorney’s that a plea be entered at a later, unspecified, date. The judge set a trial date for Maj. Hasan’s court martial for March 5, 2012.

Capitalism akbar

After reading the headlines about the US soldier who shot up
Afghanistan civilians, I couldn’t help noticing an irony. There is all this clamor to try this guy quickly and execute him, never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Yet this Major Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood while screaming Allah akbar, still hasn’t stood trial, and they are still debating whether he was insane, even with the clear evidence regarding his motive: slay as many infidels as possible. So we have a guy in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately.

But this Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day murders 13, wounds 29 of our own guys, and they try to argue the poor lad suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience. Two and a half years later, they still haven’t tried the murderous bastard.

Hell, Bales will probably be executed before Hasan gets a court date.

It’s my understanding that the Muzzie, not Zero, has a scheduled court date June 12, 2012 but asking for delay! Who da thunk that!
I do note in all media Hassan is called the shooter, nowhere have I seen the term “MURDERER”.
The libs are having a field day now but when the light comes on, Stand Clear & Stay Safe!
I’m 10 miles from Ground Zero!
