'US SOLDIER ATTACKS TROOPS' [unsanitized discussion of MUSLIM treason suspect]

'US SOLDIER ATTACKS TROOPS'

An American Muslim soldier is understood to have carried out a grenade attack on a US military camp which injured 16 soldiers.

A second man, who is not a soldier, is thought to be held.

Three grenades were rolled into three tents housing military leaders of the 101st Airborne Division Saturday night at Camp Pennsylvania, home of the, near the Iraqi border, said Sky correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is in the base.

The grenade that was rolled into the first tent, where the commanding officer sleeps, did not go off.

But two other grenades used to attack tents where the unit's majors and captains sleep did explode.

'Acting weird'

Ramsay watched as the suspects were held.

"Two men are being held, one of which is a Muslim soldier who is an engineer," Ramsay said.

"It appears he was hiding in a barrack where the attacks happened. A second man, who we believe is not an American soldier, is being held by the military.

"As the man who carried out the attack moved away there was some shooting. He was shot in the leg. He was held on the ground less than 100 yards from where the attack happened."

He said fears about the Muslim soldier's behaviour had been raised in recent days by colleagues.

Interrogation

"In recent days they were concerned about his behaviour and were not going to send him up to the front when the soldiers were going to be deployed."

It is not clear whether the soldier, who Ramsay said would have been in the Gulf for some weeks, had planned the attack before being deployed.

"To be honest we just do not know," Ramsay said.

"Talking to other soldiers, it could be that he was disgruntled. They said he had been acting 'weird' for days."

Eleven soldiers who were seriously hurt were flown out of the camp by helicopter.

P.S. Shepard Smith on FNC just stated that a Fox reporter imbedded at Camp Pennsylvania is confirming that the suspect in question is definitely a MUSLIM!

Allah have mercy on his soul. We won't on his body.

"Look... I am sure greater minds than mine or yours are hard at work at this.... but during their brainstorming, I think we should not broadcast this from the drum-towers."

I respect you having a different opinion on this than I; but I think you are asking me to censor myself about posting what I have heard from a mainstream very reliable radio report from WABC in NYC. I think that would be counter to the whole concept of the people getting their news as little filtered as possible. I do not want your hypothetical "greater minds" to do my thinking for me and decide what they will tell me and what they wont tell me --- because they think it is better that I not hear it.

I DEFINITELY THINK YOU ARE WRONG AND MAYBE YOU WANT TO RECONSIDER THE IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

This is not a disgruntled soldier fragging....
This was a coordinated assassination attempt on the Brigade commander..and his commanders..
This was a "Decapitation" strike...akin to the one we made on Saddam Hussein
This muslim american showed his loyalty to allah and muhammed rather than his country and fellow soldiers....
This was an enemy operation aided by a muslim american...it was premeditated and planned and not a spur of the moment fragging incident regardless of the spin fox or anyother news channel puts on it..
The Army probably feels they cannot stop their momentum to deal with their internal muslim problem..
Which if pushed will be spun into a racial issue..as Jesse jackons and sharpton Mckinney will do on Mon...this will fuel other blacks and the black congressional cawkass..the american commies and antiwar peace creeps....
If they can spin this into a random act of a disgruntled soldier and put him under wraps till its over...
Of course if he was white he would be summarily executed as he should be according to military law in combat

Sheppard Smith just interrupted a reporter and insisted his sources said the guy was definitely Muslim.

I'm liking old Shep better and better.

What happened to the second guy? I'm seeing no more about him.

you could very well be right. If the bloods and cripds can infiltrate (which is beyond my comprehension) then why can't Al-Qaeda?

I hope this guy doesnt have family in the states.....they're ruined...

You know everyone wants to know if he is black or middle eastern... spit it out.

Frankly, I don't care. I am more concerned that he may have acted according to the demands of his religion, and this is one kind of terror our troops shouldn't be subjected to.

In all my thinking of this, that he is black has not entered into my thinking. I thought Arab- /American--especially because of the connection to the fatwah in Cairo this morning. It isn't race that we should focus on. It is profiling muslims. We shouldn't confuse ourselves by focusing on his race--whatever it is. I am not absolutely sure from that picture that he is black.

Only thing, why was he acting weird for days before this attack, if this was planned. By acting weird, he was risking getting taken out of the picture before the attack.
