Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre described today how Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down unarmed soldiers, and then shot them again as they lay wounded on the floor.
Investigators believe more than 100 shots were fired from Hasan's gun in a matter of minutes. He was described as calm and methodical in his attack, pausing only to reload. Soldier Keara Bono survived the onslaught although she was wounded slightly in the back and grazed in the head.
Bono told "Good Morning America" today that she initially thought the scene of Hasan standing up, praising Allah and starting to fire was a drill. She didn't believe it was real even when she felt her own blood, she said.
"Then I looked to my left and right and I saw people that were bleeding," she said. That's when Bono realized that Hasan's rampage wasn't a drill.
"I started crawling, I called 911 with my phone to my side... and I turned back and looked at him. He was about two body lengths away from me, longways, shooting people on the ground still. So I was just waiting to get shot in the back," she said.

The attack only lasted 3 or 4 minutes before it was stopped.

“So, tell me again why this is not being called a terrorist attack?”
Because of Political Correctness.
That’s gonna’ get a LOT MORE AMERICANS killed.
Freddd were all the victims just caucasians and hispanics only???? Maybe the spineless feds can charge the POS with a hate crime as well?
I guess 9/11 wasn’t a terrorist attack either according to the politically-correct Liberals in Congress and the White House.
As for the weapon he used; it wasn't an Army issued sidearm, and the clips he used were not regulation, either. Apparently, each clip held 20 rounds, so he had to have reloaded at least four times in order to shoot as many rounds as he did.
I heard a report last night that said, because he was coming out of the building, and was in uniform, the police officers weren't exactly sure, at first, that he was the aggressor. When he started shooting at THEM, they caught on right quick.
Fox is psychoanalyzing the poor harrassed muzzie now. PTSD. Stress. Flippo. “Gotta be traumatic to listen to trauma, especially when it’s related to warfare...!”

Celebrate diversity! Isn’t it wonderful to have so many diverse people in our military? </sarc>
I am celebrating intolerance! It kills fewer people than diversity has.
Actually, Osama Bin Laden formally declared war on the United States on behalf of radical Islam. This was in 1994 or 1996. It was ignored by the press and pooh-poohed by three administrations since then, but in my mind, a state of war really exists and should be formally declared by the United States Congress.
The L.A. Times is calling him a “sensitive man”, even “gentle”. I guess he kept shooting the people after they were down so they wouldn’t suffer anymore. How compassionate of him!

I wouldn’t be surprised if CAIR has their own little office in the WH these days, to take care of these matters pronto.
Actually, they do, It’s an Oval shaped room.
“Yes, but what about security, MPs?
“
Seems silly to talk about security at an Army base. One would think everyone would be armed.
Oh really, that's absurd and a lie, otherwise the FBI would not have been watching him for 6 months.
I mean this in all seriousness. When a human being falls into evil, he doesn't fall into the bestial. He falls into the demonic.
Because of PTSD so only MP’s are armed onbase.
“He had been trying to leave the military for years we are told but had to stay. Why could he not leave?”
That’s what I’d like to know. For diversity reasons? He was obviously unfit for duty.
