“How could he fire 100 rounds on a military base with 55,000 troops without being fired upon?”

Because while the military claims to have discipline they really do not, so they do not trust military members to be armed with private weapons. The military carefully and strictly controls when a members has access to a firearm.

“She can expect a call from the FBI and IRS to change that story to something a little more muslim-friendly.”

You hit that nail on the head. It was mere moments in to the shooting when, even before they arrived on scene, the FBI put out an announcement that it "was NOT a terrorist attack".
Just how stupid do they think we are????

Earlier reports said that no one is allowed to carry a firearm at Fort Hood unless they are in active training.

Indeed. I’m going to snap if I here one more mediot tell me Hasan “snapped”. No, he didn’t snap. His actions all morning tell you he didn’t snap. This was pre-meditated. This was Muslim-inspired and it was deliberate.

Or do you want to convince me Army psychiatrists just happen to walk around with extra clips to reload their guns as part of everyday military life.

Haman ignored the order.

The policy is total BS. We most likely would have saved lives of some of our soldiers had they all been armed that day. Or the terrorist would have thought twice about the resistance he would have faced.

Speaking of President Bush, he and Laura made a quiet, unannounced visit to the wounded at Ft. Hood last night, exhibiting his typical class and humility, and love for our troops.

Would that we had him back as Commander in Chief, and could get rid of this Marxist pretender!

Yes, but what about security, MPs?

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.

Surely she was mistaken about nothing except that one inconvenient thing.

A military base has some of the most stringent rules about carrying firearms. The rules suck. I would like to see all officers armed and Master Sergeants and above in the enlisted ranks armed. Good men with firearms are good for safety.

The only way I'd consider that he had snapped is, if they were in the mess hall, every one around him was aware that he was not in a good mood and he all of a sudden used his steak knife to decapitate.

This didn't happen.

His actions were premeditated, well planned out. He was calm ,cool and collected.

Because they are no called terrorists, much less Islamic terrorists.

Seriously!

Didn't you know?

The perpetrators of these attacks are now referred to as ANTIWAR RADICALS.

This is not a joke.

Be sure to read this article from the Washington Post.

Fort Hood attack is 3rd this year by antiwar radicals targeting military on U.S. soil

Mankind, in the far past, had the only temporary solution against Islam.

The Christian Crusades. Read about them. It was the only way to keep this demonic cult cut down to a manageable size.

What we need is another Christian Crusade. I don’t care what we call it. War Against Islam, WWIII, whatever.

No matter what the cost, we must rid the planet of as many of these murderers as we can.

"I hope that SOB survives, so the Army can hang him."

I doubt obama would allow that. No one who was awarded the Nobel Peace prize would allow a hanging or any punishment.

Kumbaya anyone?

As for Hasan, Bono said she really hadn't stopped yet to be angry. "I think he's very selfish, what he did," she said.

No probs with Keara Bono, except to quibble about her use of the word "selfish". You might say that about a father who has just murdered his children to keep them away from their mother. But for a Muslim soldier to kill other soldiers? What's selfish about that? We can't apply the same concept to everything.

Putting the gratification of his own feelings above the lives of other is probably about as selfish as one could possibly get.
