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.

“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.
Or Domestic Contingency Operations.
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.
Would that we had him back as Commander in Chief, and could get rid of this Marxist pretender!
Yes, but what about security, MPs?
No. Do you think they will ask?
...why can’t we point out that the guy is a MUSLIM??????????
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.
Seriously!
Didn't you know?
The perpetrators of these attacks are now referred to as ANTIWAR RADICALS.
This is not a joke.

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 doubt obama would allow that. No one who was awarded the Nobel Peace prize would allow a hanging or any punishment.
Kumbaya anyone?
Seriously!

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.
