Twelve people have been killed and 31 wounded in a shooting spree at a Texas military base by what officials believe was possibly carried out by an Army officer.
The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.
The shooter was killed and two other suspects, who are also soldiers, have been apprehended, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone said.
The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn't sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.
Guess President Bush kept us safer than Hussain.

Identifying his religion?
HA!
I, the all knowing , brilliant one, correct again!
the idiot should have just told them he was gay and would be out in no time with an honorable discharge.
Or something more than arm twisting, if you get my drift.
“Ironic that Ohbummers mentor was going to attack Ft Dix in the 70s w/a shrapnel bomb.”
Surely you are not referring to the dishonorable Ayers planning to kill dozens of unarmed service personnel at a dance at Ft. Dix?
That doesn’t sound like someone TOTUS would hang around with

I empathize with how you feel. Myself, I feel like “They” just did some elaborate Psy Op on the U.S. population, creating enormous stress & cognitive dissonance. It’s like this was purposefully down with full intent and full knowledge that they were lying to the public.
IMO, the bomber at Oklahoma University.
"...when in a war, foreign or intestine, the enemies get a final victory, so as, the forces of the Commonwealth keeping the field no longer, there is no further protection of subjects in their loyalty, then is the Commonwealth dissolved, and every man at liberty to protect himself by such courses as his own discretion shall suggest unto him."Thomas Hobbes - Leviathan, 1651
The group met until January of this year and forwarded recommendations on to President Obama.
That’s the truth! The news was fast paced, but so appreciated today especially. I kept family and friends on top of what was going on because of FR. Thanks to all of you! My prayers are with the family, friends and fellow soldiers tonight.
Great, just great....

Secretary Gates on Ft. Hood Shooting
I am deeply saddened by the tragic events today at Fort Hood. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the fallen, the wounded, and all those touched by this incident. There is little we can say at this point to alleviate the pain or answer the many questions this event raises, but I can pledge that the Department of Defense will do everything in its power to help the Fort Hood community get through these difficult times.

Army Secretary Expresses Ft. Hood Shooting Condolence
This is a terrible tragedy that we will know more about in the coming days. For now our focus is squarely on taking care of our soldiers and their families, said Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those who have been killed and wounded. The leadership at Fort Hood is marshalling the medical support and counselors necessary to take care of our soldiers and their families and to notify the next of kin.
OMG...that’s horrific!
The disappeared man in the OK City bombing. How often do we have to look the other way before someone notices we are being attacked by Islam, the religion of Pieces.

YIKES
Knew a guy in the Air Force who wanted to get out, but they wouldn’t let him. His wife had left him and taken their son back to their home state. He worked out in the Missle Field - Security Forces - carried an M-16. He was afraid he’d go off the deep end. We talked about this at his place, which was barren after the wife had taken all their belongings. He tried to get help from his chain of command, including the Chaplain - no luck. One day he walked into his commander’s office for an appoinment he scheduled with him, sat down, took out a joint and lit it up. He was discharged shortly afterward.
Yeah, some girl looked at him funny so he killed a bunch of people. Has nothing to do w/the religion though.
Pray for America and Our Troops
Wow...wish this story could have worked out like this.
