Here is photo of Hasan's Army Brief. Note he's a Va Tech grad, ironically. Again, this is off twitterland, so unverified.

...unverified. That describes much of the information passing over the airwaves unfortunately. Give it 24 hours...

quote:

A former Fort Hood colleague of the shooter said Hasan would frequently make "outlandish" comments.

"He said maybe Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor," retired Col. Terry Lee told Fox News. "At first we thought he meant help the armed forces, but apparently that wasn't the case. Other times he would make comments we shouldn't be in the war in the first place."

Hasan had been optimistic that President Obama would start pulling troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, Lee said, but when that didn't happen as quickly as he hoped, Hasan became angry.

quote:

There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.

Army: Fort Hood shooting rampage suspect is alive

"His death is not imminent," said Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood. He offered little explanation for the mistake, other than to say there was confusion at the hospital.

One irony is this nutjob was apparently a psychiatrist.

quote:

Faizul Khan, a former imam at a mosque Hasan attended in Silver Spring, Md., said he spoke often with Hasan about how Hasan wanted to find a wife. Hasan was a lifelong Muslim and attended prayers regularly, often in his Army uniform, Khan said.

I don't get it. Who are this guy's relatives? Where are they now? What brings the guy from the mideast in order to join the U.S. Armed Forces?
What was he before he "converted" to Islam?

9/11 was the first time America suffered what Arabs have been experiencing for at least 60 years - what it feels like to have defenseless civilians attacked by American aircraft. The chickens indeed did come home to roost, as Rev. Wright suggested, but he was instantly vilified by the Jewish-biased media for saying that.

I hope they keep this guy alive for a real, real long time. Police investigators need to start visiting or infiltrating that mosque he belongs to.

George Washington, commander in chief of the Continental Army, used military tribunals instead of civil courts to try unlawful combatants regularly during the Revolutionary War. The most famous case was his signing the death warrant for the hanging of Maj. John Andre, the British officer who conspired with Benedict Arnold.

He was born in Virginia and, apparently, has always been a Muslim.

"I don't know why he listed Palestinian," Khan said, "He was not born in Palestine."

*sigh* how long on until this gets turned into "Obama can't keep us safe"?

This doesn't seem like a comment that is 'on topic'

Someone from Ft. Hood that new the assissin said he was mad at Obama for not keeping his word and stopping the war against Islam.

He was being shipped out next month and was very vocal about not going, and that he had been (or was still) under investigation for these outbust against the war and Obama.

Still early.

Thanks

That's an oxymoron.

Troubling portrait emerges of Fort Hood suspect

quote:

WASHINGTON — His name appears on radical Internet postings. A fellow officer says he fought his deployment to Iraq and argued with soldiers who supported U.S. wars. He required counseling as a medical student because of problems with patients.

There are many unknowns about Nidal Malik Hasan, the man authorities say is responsible for the worst mass killing on a U.S. military base. Most of all, his motive.

For six years before reporting for duty at Fort Hood, Texas, in July, the 39-year-old Army major worked at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center pursuing his career in psychiatry, as an intern, a resident and, last year, a fellow in disaster and preventive psychiatry. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001.

quote:

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

FOX News just reported that Hasan uttered cries of "Allahu Akbar!" ("Allah is the greatest") as he was murdering his compatriots.

More deaths to lay at the feet of the "peaceful" religion of Islam, a religion from the pit of Hell. But Oh! If we pay extra attention to Muslims in our military and communities, that is "racial profiling" or "discrimination". Poppycock. Quite frankly, the US Military is guilty of negligence int he deaths of these innocent soldiers, as they ignored the self-proclamations of Hasan as being a "radical Muslim" and interested in suicide bombings.

Political correctness at its worst.

Islam is an evil religion, founded by an evil man and whatever demonic influences were at work on him.

At least we know that Hasan will be residing in the eternal place of his evil religion.

quote:

A source tells NPR's Joseph Shapiro that Hasan was put on probation early in his postgraduate work at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He was disciplined for proselytizing about his Muslim faith with patients and colleagues, according to the source, who worked with him at the time.

Rockwall posted that earlier, so it must be true.
