I wonder if this guy had been drawing the suspicions of his fellow officers earlier. I wonder if PC influences had kept this man from being outted or even being addressed before?

[Dajjal]

Prayers for the victims of this act of domestic jihad, as well as their families and friends.

[CodeToad]

I bet a number of officers knew of this turd’s intentions as a hateful anti-America, anti-Christian, yet, did nothing all in the name of being Politically Correct.

In a normal world, the pig pluker would have been tossed out or never accepted into the military.

[pgkdan]

sCALES HAS SAID THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TEN SECONDS THAT THIS IS NOT A TERRORIST ACT. hOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW THAT. ANYTIME SOMEBODY NAMED MALIK KILLS AMERICANS IT’S A TERRORIST.

[Gene Eric]

Has Code Pink issued a press release about this incident yet?

[April Lexington]

I would not expect the US military to admit the base was attacked by Al Quaida. This will become a random act done by a crazy individual. Period. Just like Oklahoma City, the Jet that blew up over Long Island and all of the other Islamic attacks other than 9-11 which, unfortunately for the government was captured on live TV so a cover up became impossible...

[Salvation]

Prayers for these fallen soldiers and civilian officer who were killed as well as for their families.

THE RELIGION OF PEACE

Major Nidal Malik Husan

A convert to Islam

Transferred from Walter Reed in DC

Due to be posted to Iraq or Afghanistan



Get Blue Glaser cartridges - cannot be ID'ed

Choose a large caliber revolver - .44, .44-40, .45
- It will not eject traceable brass cartridge cases
- It will not jam like a pistol, rotate the cylinder

[fwdude]

The logical conclusion to political correctness.

[fwdude]

Is the DUmp celebrating and handing out candy? I can’t bring myself to look.

[arasina]

Looks like political correctness kept this guy in our military. Retired Military Psychiatrist (Colonel?) Terry Lee just called in to Fox News and said that Nidal Hasan made some very inflammatory comments---"Muslims should be allowed to rise up and kill the aggressors"---(something like that) and that "we shouldn't be over there".

HOW did this happen? How did he get the weaponry and ammunition?!

Now his cousin Nadar Hasan is saying he was a good American but he "has always been a Muslim" and that he had recently experienced some "harrassment" in the military.

[grey_whiskers]

I bet the problem is that he never accepted Barack H. Obama as his personal savior. /sarc>

mmm, mmm, mmm. /double-sarc>

Prayers up for the families.

A good suggestion made on Jason Lewis today -- a caller suggested that since this guy is a psychiatrist, with the rank of Major, he may have gotten medical/psychiatric training and had the government pay off the loans in return for a stint in the military. So we don't yet know for sure just *how long* he has been in the armed forces.

Oh -- and how long did it take for the press and the Dems to dig up Joe the Plumber's life story, when they wanted *that*? Surely the government has more information about a major in the Army at its fingertips, than this.

Makes one wonder even more, it does.

[lapsus calami]

 

UPDATE as of now -

 

Base is closed - NO ONE has admittance in.

 

Fully armed troops are manning the gates, watching the perimeter.

 

People who have been stuck on base are being allowed to leave after being thoroughly checked out, but if you leave, you cannot come back in.

 

 

[Red in Blue PA]

I can carry a weapon. Why can't military personnel on base?????

[Shyla]

What about the other two reported earlier?

Have heard nothing about that for a few hours.

[tokerinchiefisanacornamerican]

If this Islamic psychiatrist had “issues” with being ridiculed about his religion (aka the death cult of Islam) or “issues” about being deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan doesn’t it stand to reason that he would have disclosed them during his own psychiatric peer counseling session? Aren’t psychiatrists required to be in mandatory counseling with a peer? If he had “issues” at his last military assignment, wouldn’t those “issues” be known by his superiors? If his professional judgment was so compromised by his devotion to Islam, how could he have been fit and of sound mind to offer guidance to other soldiers at Ft. Hood?

More Information on Fort Hood Shooting Suspect

Posted: Nov 05, 2009 6:07 PM CST
Updated: Nov 05, 2009 7:26 PM CST

Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.

The officials had access to Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because military records are confidential.

Federal law enforcement officials say the Hasan came to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.

The Virginia-born soldier was single with no children. He was 39 years old.

He is a graduate of Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. At Walter Reed, he did his internship, residency and a fellowship.

Co-Worker: Ft. Hood Suspect Made ‘Outlandish’ Comments Condemning US Foreign Policy

"He said, precisely, that maybe the Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor."

[Cvengr]

Well, a couple of things become obvious.

1) Thank God he wasn’t a grunt or the death toll would have been about 10 times as high.

2) The guy obviously wasn’t well trained as in the use of firearms and tactics or the death and casualty rates would have been at least 5 times as high.

3) He obviously wasn’t a Ranger or else he would have just used his Bic pen instead of a firearm to achieve his intended death toll.

News report now says he is still alive and hospitalized.
