A shout out to our fifth column
Watch the Idiot in Chief here. Who can possibly forget the bombing of Pearl Harbour, where Roosevelt gave a shout out to the caterer before the whole “day in infamy” stuff? You have to be completely awestruck at the absolute classlessness and insensitivity this man exhibits. I’m sure the Department of the Interior throws a lovely party, but you really have a bigger issue at hand.
The issue is as of now eleven dead and 31 injured US people at Fort Hood, a US Army base in Texas between Waco and Austin. The suspected gunman is Major Nadil Malik Hasan, who was shot on the scene but taken into custody in stable condition. Two other men were arrested and held for questioning. It’s not clear at this time whether they were directly involved.
What is starting to become clear is the motive on the part of Hasan. Shepherd Smith interviewed Col. Terry Lee, a gentleman who worked closely with Maj. Hasan and who asserts that the major was “happy” about a previous shooting and that he thought that Muslims should rise up against the aggressors. The incident appears to be the one in June at an army and navy recruiting centre in Little Rock, Arkansas.
What did that incident and the one today have in common? The shooters in each case were Muslim converts.
Maj. Hasan was also a little upset about his upcoming deployment to Iraq. (My guess is seeing the handiwork of his Muslim brethren would have been a little too much shame to bear.) Probably the most telling quote came from Lt. Col. Chris Carver:
[Carver], Army spokesman at the Pentagon, said he didn’t know what the motive was for the shooting.
Apparently the colonel has not been in communique with some of his fellow public servants:
Federal law enforcement officials told the AP that Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
The officials say the postings appeared to have been made by Hasan, but are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was not opened.
So, what did the colonel know and when did he know it? For that matter, why was he not told that one of his own was being investigated by agents as a possible security risk?
Several attempts by Muslims have been perpetrated within the United States against military servicemen and servicewomen. The attempt on the military personnel working at Fort Dix in New Jersey illustrated the Internet used as a recruiting tool. The attempt on a South Carolina base by Ahmed Mohamed and Yousef Megahed, stopped by a South Carolina smokie with a car full of pipe bombs, shows the middle class, university-educated types that wish to quickly shift into militant mode. All that the United States had provided for them with a top-notch education and safe and stable country were of little value to them.
For those who think that this will lead to “McCarthyite” tactics, I say good. It’s becoming apparent that the most radical elements of Islam are infiltrating the military and using it either for a seditious recruiting tool or a training depot. (John Allan Muhammad, the DC/Virginia sniper, was a veteran, too.) It might serve the nation’s interest to do a serious inquiry into the loyalties of some of its soldiers, lest the number of domestic attacks by its own soldiers on its own soldiers increases.

Couldn’t say it better, Rocky.
Imagine, our troops being slaughtered here. Awful.
Lt. General Cone sounds very sharp. He was a good spokesman and I hope we continue to hear from him.

And *winning* the Congressional Medal of Honor? Is it now like a lottery to get one of those?
Rocky - between obama and cnn, I actually took a night off from blogging last night, infuriated i was. Obama saying what he did and cnn and ALL state-run media telling me only half truths and holding back key bits of information that was readily available on Ace of Spades.
Sickening.

Well said, Rocky! I’ll tell ya’ my friend… As the father of two US Servicemen, I’ve decided I’d rather have them serving side by side with gay patriots, than straight Muslims.
My memory is fuzzy, but in the early days of the Iraq invasion, some Muslim soldier threw a grenade in a tent & killed our guys, too. I’m gonna look it up…

Andy — was it Hasan Akbar?
Camp Liberty, I believe.
Black American convert to Islam.

Yes, Mr. Mayor. Your memory is quite good. Malkin did a long piece on him, and others over 6 years ago. You think we would have learned by now.

Lemme just say one more thing! It’s one thing if a soldier “snaps” under the pressure of war…or even junk in his personal life, and goes off.
But this is different. These things are willful, premeditated murder, treason, and just downright satanic. Their religion is satanic, and I don’t want them anywhere near our military.

If zero tolerance and metal detectors are good enough for our schools and courthouses, then they’re good enough for our military bases. These guys shouldn’t be walking around with guns, for god’s sake. Somebody’s gonna get hurt.

I’ll go ahead and say it. If EVERY soldier in that center had been armed, the Muslim devil would have been dead before he squeezed his third round off.

Perhaps a harbinger, Hasan earned his undergrad at Virginia Tech. He also identified himself as a citizen of “Palestine”, despite being born and growing up in Virginia.

If everybody was armed everywhere, very few devils anywhere would try squeezing off a few rounds. Thomas Jefferson was fond of this passage by Cesare Beccaria (I will spare you the Italian of the original): “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.” (Essay on Crimes and Punishments, ca 1809)

Precisely, Mr. Fnortner!

I told you guys about that thinking thing. Cut it out.
Instead, enjoy the ‘white marxist traitors’ of the left doing a white wash on the incident. Yes, it is one of many, which would appear to be a pattern. The solution, at present, is simple. But, the elites, the aristocracy, will not solve this problem. And in their failure, they march to extinction.
I appeal to your sense of realpolitik … the lefties are hanging themselves with their whitewashing. Let them hang.

This is why Obama didn’t release his grades, so people wouldn’t have their suspicions confirmed that he actually went to Clown College.

America has got shit on its’ heel in the form of the Present in Chief.
My stomach churns every time I see an Officer salute that limp wristed puke.

Just a little follow-up–right after a Muslim shouted Allahu Akbar and opened fire at an Army post, killing over a dozen people and injuring dozens more, Janet Napolitano has decided to spring into action to…prevent attacks against Muslims.
