Today, this army wife is mad as hell.
This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey.
During the Q&A period, every question and answer centered around Combat Stress and suicides among our military.
Not ONE person addressed the FACT that this was an individual practicing his view of Islamic Jihad.
After the press conference, the cameras went back to Shep Smith at the FOX studios. The first thing he said was, “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘Why did he do this?’”
Why? WHY, you ask??
Let me tell you cowards in the media WHY. Hassan was a Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist. He did it to strike fear and grief in the hearts of Americans. He did it to hurt our military and to further the cause of Islam.
He didn’t do it because he had PTSD, compassion fatigue or combat stress. He is not your average everyday PVT Joe Snuffy.
He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist.
And you damn well know it.
Today I am ashamed of our media. I am ashamed of our POTUS. I am ashamed of our leadership.
Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards who are terrified of giving offense. You do a disservice to the brave men and women who have been killed and injured in your defense.
Stop insulting the solders by implying that they’re all capable of this due to the stress of war. Stop insulting our military by implying that they don’t take care of our troops.
Grow a pair and call it what it is - TERRORISM.
I was listening to an interview live on Fox radio.
Was it this general - or some other asshat - who refered to this as an...
"ALLEDGED ATTACK".
Did anyone else hear that? Or was I hearing things.
This PC crap has GOT to stop.
With an alleged gun.
At an alleged army base.
Excellent post.
How can they blame stress? It isnt even reasonable. He never did a tour overseas. Ever. He only has three decorations, and they are pretty well automatic for simply spending a day in the military. It is so stupid for them to blame it on that, when there is no reasonable evidence. There is plenty of reasonable evidence he did it in the name of Islam.
He did it because he’s a spoiled raghead who’s been catered to, so he threw a tantrum when he couldn’t get his way about not going to Iraq. He did it because he’s an evil muzzie and considered himself a Palestinian. It’s not complicated.
Hasan has never seen combat, so I don’t know what that would have to do with it, other than to provide the media with an escape hatch.
Hurrah!
Who conducted the interview?
Saving this one to share with others. Marie, beautiful post. If they could, I suspect that a lot of my ancestors who served their country would wildly applaud.
It was a general press conference. Everyone was there.
Boo yah!
Does anyone know what Hasan did before he joined the army? He joined when he was about 31 rather than as a youngster, so what did he do before the army? Did he spend time in the ME? He could have learned his hatred through a mosque, but I wonder if there was a more structured and intensive experience behind his belief and decision than just whatever was preached to him in the mosques. We understand that his deployment was the catalyst for the shooting, but how did he come to his violent support of the enemy?
Alan Colmes says that you are a bigot.
“Alan Colmes says that you are a bigot.”
Alan Colmes is a limp-wristed girly-man.
So when you said, “This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey.” in your post, you meant the Chief gave a general press conference in which Fox and many other outlets participated and that you saw the press conference on Fox’s coverage of it, not an interview conducted by Fox.
The Obama Administration has been ONE LONG unforgivable outrage.

A general press conference, is propaganda on a massive scale.
Every one sees and hears the same message. Think about it.
Your post makes no sense whatsoever. If you had looked at what I was replying to, you’d understand.
DITTO!
We need a Second American Revolution!
We need to run out of this country MILLIONS of these Leftard parasites just like the Sons of Liberty ran out of the country thousands of Tory supporters of Britain after the First American Revolution.
After all, the Leftards drew First Blood with the attempt by Obama to seize total power over Americans. It is only proper in the inevitable counter attack by Patriots that we kick ass and take names.
The traitors leave the country. We seize their bank accounts and property. They get their lives and clothes on their worthless backs.
That’s it! You don’t screw with the Eagle.
yes. the general was being questioned by many reporters. but not at the same time. meaning they asked the questions one at a time. except when they were interrupting eachother. then they were speaking simultaneously.
i saw it on fox.
that’s fox news - not the animal...
but fox reporters did ask some of the questions. i suppose one could say that at that moment that reporter was technically interviewing the general.
clear as mud? ;-)
I can’t understand why, for the life of me that the Military allows Muslims in at all. Look at all the incidents where they have killed their fellow soldiers/Marines. Remember the bomb in the tent full of Marines. Then this, it’s really crap. And Obama was basically defending this creep by “don’t jump to conclusions”. CO
