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.

When “The troubles” were in the news, we called the IRA killers by their religion -AS THAT WAS THE SOURCE OF THE CONFLICT.
Once the issues in Northern Ireland were (largely) resolved, not more bombings.
Case in point - Spain and the Bascos.
So, ya. him being a Muzzie isn't part of the problem, his being a Muzzie IS the problem.
Nobody is safe in this country.
Nobody.
We are finding out soon enough what it’s like to live with Muslims just as the peoples of other places around the world have learned for hundreds of years.
Don't be silly, our soldiers don't carry weapons on a military base...It just wouldn't be right....
Let’s just say that I wouldn’t want to piss off a battle hardened military. Zero’s too stupid, evil, and self-obsessed to understand that, though.
and to think some on the left are actually making excuses for this Muzzie whackjob.
Well actually it was a Freelance terrorist attack and not one orchestrated by AlQuida
This was a case of ritulaistic genocide, not just murder.There is a significant difference.
God defeated Allah at Fort Hood.He also did not let Hasan die to gain a seat next to his perverted god.
Political Correctness is used to keep America blind to what actually goes on inside a Mujihads heart mind. The left has worked so hard at making sure that America does not see its war against Terror as a religious war, when in fact the enemy sees it as EXACTLY that. A religious war.
This is , as Bush said, a war against evil. And evil came to Fort Hood in the form of a jihadi who was in fact possessed by Allah.For me this incident has shades of the movie “Exorcist.”
And Good has triumphed, even though so many innocents died.
This truth of which we speak needs to me shared with America as much as possible.America needs to know of the evil which it faces, at long last. No matter what the left want to make of it.
The religious practice of the Mujihad needs to be explained to every one. There is an inner prayer designed to connect one with the self righteous energy of Allah, who literally takes over the body and mind of the jihadine.Thats what happened here.A kind of Muslim spiritual possession.Hasan was not insane, or deranged. He was just fired up on his prayers and energized.He was executing a religious ritual which he believed would open the gates of heaven for him.Hasan expected to ve killed so that he and his victims would ebnd up basking in the radiance of Allah, which is the spiritual goal of the Mujahid. That is waht makes this incident religious genocide. THIS IS A WAR CRIME.No different that the burning of the Jews by Hitler.
The MSM will not properly inform the public about this religious practise of jihadism.It would no longer be a war on terror,The terrorists could no longer be redefined as “criminals” by Obama , who should be Mirandized with the benefits of due process that Bush had made sure to remove, as deserved.

ALLEGEDLY? They saw him doing it!
Damn shame. These soldiers should be carrying. A gunman should never has a single chance to reload. Negligence on the leadership’s part.
Like having the cops unarmed inside the police station.
Islam is not a religion but a cult of murderers.
There are only two types of Islamists...those who have perpetrated terrorism and those who still may.
I guess the fact that one of the survivors heard Hasan praising Allah as he was shooting doesn't mean anything, right?
Just imagine if this were a shooting at an abortion clinic, and the gunman was praising Jesus as he went about his deadly work. Does anyone think the MSM would be silent as to what might have motivated him to do it?
Hasan is a commissioned officer. They serve at the pleasure of the CIC—they don’t have to reenlist like the enlisted do.
Oh, yes, the official spin is that witnesses may have imagined they heard the shooter shout, “allah ahkbar”.
Now witnesses are imagining the shooter shot the wounded more than once. Just as the MEs and surgeons will imagine more than one gun shot wound per victim.
I believe since this POS is still alive, the best thing to do would be to have a pig piss down his ventalator tube.
He had been trying to leave the military for years we are told but had to stay. Why could he not leave?
Had this happened "in theatre" I seriously doubt the muslime would have made it to his first reload.
My first question was, "I know these Stateside troops were disarmed, but he was greatly outnumbered -- by mostly combat-trained troops. Why didn't they simply "dogpile"him and overcome him with sheer force and mass?
~~~~~
My estimate is that the problem was that these troops were allowed to be "in 'Condition Green'": they were on a Stateside US post, and were supposedly secured by others -- IOW "in a safety zone" -- physically and mentally. Their "Situational Awareness" mental guard was totally "down"...
In a combat zone, at least some of them -- no matter where they were --- would have been in "Condition Yellow" -- alert, half-expecting trouble, and unconsciously maintaining situational awareness. Even if they were without body armor, and out of reach of their weapons, I have no doubt they would have physically attacked and beaten the assassin to a bloody pulp. The difference: their mental guard would have been in "Combat Mode"...
The same benefit accrues to a trained civilian who is carrying a concealed weapon: the unconscious awareness of the presence of the weapon tends to increase your situational awareness level to "Yellow" -- and, in "questionable" surroundings to "Orange". If that is not the case, you should not be "packing".
Bottom line: our military needs to initiate "Stateside Situational Awareness" training for all troops.
Maybe, maybe not. You certainly don’t know.
He had a visitor in Muslim garb the night before. Wonder who it was, and what they talked about?
I put this comment on the ABC site, “Just in case you haven’t read the definition of terrorism, here it is. “The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.”
Nidal Hassan unlawfully killed innocent people and it is documented that he had ideological and political reasons for doing exactly what he did. Respect the people affected by this crime and call it what it was. It is just plain wrong and deceitful to eliminate the truth about this crime. Our “free press” could prevent the deaths of many Americans if they will just quit being politically correct and report the truth.”
I had to register to do it but it is time to quit being PC and stand up for the truth!
If it was a "drill", she should have been trained to do something in response to the "drill". Obviously, she was not so trained.
I am beginning to believe that the catastrophe was exacerbated by a failure of Army leadership from the Squad Leader level -- up through the Pentagon and the JCS -- and right to the Narcissist-in Chief.
