Army confirms 12 dead, 31 wounded at Fort Hood, Texas

A Democratic Underground moron has noted:

' I’m concerned about attacks on U.S. Muslims, particularly those serving in the military.'

Yeah, good to see how concerned this person is about potential attacks that won’t ever happen versus the actual attacks that already murdered 13 non-Muslims and injured 31. As in, not at all.

We’re being told this devout Muslim who shouted allahu akbar and who appears to be the author of sympathetic gushing over violent jihadist online rants was the “victim” of being allegedly called a “camel jockey” or of treating war-injured soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Center.

PUH-LEEZE.

I’ve been called “kike,” “Zionist bastard,” “Heeb,” “dirty Jew,” etc. (some of it by Muslims). But did I use that as an excuse to murder more than a dozen Americans? I went to high school with plenty of Chaldeans (Iraqi Catholics), who were regularly called “camel jockey” and “sn*g” (short for sand-n*****). And guess what? None of them shot up our school and mass-murdered Americans. And ya know what? Thousands of doctors have either worked in Walter Reed or treated military wounded for a lot longer than this jihadist. And not one has ever used it as an excuse to perpetrate mass murder. We’ve all been called names. We don’t use it to murder our troops on a U.S. Army base.

They anounsed that "friendly fire" was the cause of some of the deaths.

I commented earlier saying that locking up all Muslims in concentration camps was an idiotic idea, and that people who say that are loons.

It was hidden because it was apparently inappropriate.

So, I guess I'll re-craft it to be more like the other comments that remain on the article. Here goes -

"People who think Muslims should be locked up in concentration camps are like a plague and a threat to our nation. They should be dealt with."

"It is very clear that America is in a war with white supremacist, racist, intolerant numbskulls."

I'm sure this will be "flagged for abuse" as well, but at this point, I don't really give a damn. The amount of ignorance shown by many of the commenters on this article is astounding.

Open a history book and see what good has come of racial/religious/ideological paranoia in the past. German fear of Jewish people in the 20s/30s/40s, American fear of the Japanese in the same period, etc.

No good will come of allowing the racist, intolerant inmates run the asylum.

Carry on.

you can keep your bigotry and your buzzwords. malik can keep his cowardice and his shame.

me... i'm gonna drink in honor of the dead. all this lone-gunman-rampage bullshit is about people losing faith in people.

hatemongering solves nothing. america is about people being different and learning to live with that.

this guy didn't want to do his job and he took it out on the world. it's selfish and it's stupid, but it happened. just because he's got a muslim name doesn't mean we should blame all muslims. we didn't blame all koreans everywhere for the virginia tech massacre.

"terrorists" come in all shapes and sizes. and sometimes they use words instead of guns. so please... for the good of us all... shut the fuck up.

Muslim Garbed Jihadi Nidal Hasan Screamed "Allah Akbar" as he Mowed Down US Soldiers at Fort Hood, Death Toll Rises. At a press conference this morning, it appears Nidal Malik Hasan was a lone jihadi.

Washington - A top US Army official confirmed Friday that the suspect in the killing of at least 13 people at a Texas army base likely shouted 'Allah Akbar' (God is great) before opening fire.

Army Lieutenant General Robert Cone, commander of the Fort Hood, Texas, base where the shootings took place on Thursday, made the comment in answer to a question from NBC news.

Cone said 'there are first hand accounts' to the effect that the suspect, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, had yelled the Muslim religious chant.

NBC reported that the death toll had risen to 13, as one of the victims had died overnight.

The 39-year-old suspect in the killings is a US Army psychiatrist described as a devout Muslim who opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and had been trying to resign from the Army, according to media reports Friday.

Another 30 people were injured in the shootings. All but two were members of the military, officials said Thursday.

Cone said Thursday that investigators, who now include the FBI, had not ruled out the possibility it was a terrorist attack, but said evidence indicated it was not likely.

The talking heads are spinning this so hard and so fast I think their heads are going to fly off -- which would be appropriate. Not one newscasters, not one, can bring himself or herself to say ...jihad.

Wow, we better watch out for those radical Catholics!
No?
Quakers!
No?
Episcopalians!
No?
Mmmmm, I wonder what dysfunctional antique group would carry out such an attack?
I hope every meal this guy gets has pork in it.
Better wake up folks.

any one know what (if any) medicine was this guy on?

I'm sorry, this is a senseless tragedy.

But so is war. The only difference between these soldiers dying in Fort Hood in a senseless act of violence, and soldiers dying in Afghanistan or Iraq in a senseless act of violence, is that these soldiers died on US soil.

So when do the Obama/CIA/Government conspiracy theory's begin? Come on people I know you got some idea's churning away in your head already. Spit them out! The American people need to know the truth!

(I hope everyone reading this knows I am being Satirical! But if you do have a theory, by all means speak out! After a sad day like this I need a good laugh.)

shocking

The Military failed these dead and wounded soldiers

Most civilians do not realize just how utterly politicized the military is.

Beleive me, the individuals that make up the military are WELL AWARE of the problem, but there's not a damn thing they can do about it. The military works for the Commander-in-Chief. Another poster suggested that the military should not allow muslims to enlist. Great idea, but "the military" can't do that - they don't have the authority. What do you suppose B. Hussein Obama's reaction would be if the military, HIS military, started trying to institute what you and I would consider to be sane policies regarding islam? Our military leaders are not free agents, not in any sense.

According to Obama, we are not at war with Islam, nor will we EVER be at war with Islam.

And yet Islam's adherents continually disprove this preposterous statement.
Islam is at war with us and has been since the 7th century. It is unfortunate that our leaders don't know that yet.
The families of the soldiers should sue the Armed Forces for NEGLECT as a direct cause for these homicides.

With all the things known about this cockroach they are definitely guilty of extreme negligence in keeping their personnel safe.

With this person's record, why was a discharge not forthcoming. Major Hasan had trouble from the very beginning. He harassed co-workers and patients with his religious beliefs and political opinions, but was simply put on probation. This should have been a clue to his superiors that Hasan was really not cut out for military service. Futhermore, his postings on Islamists sites and hair raising opinions of U.S. military personnel should have led his superiors at Ft. Hood to take appropriate action. Instead, this human boil was allowed to fester until it burst. People at Walter Reed and Ft. Hood should be removed for their negligence in this matter. Pandering to Islamists will not stop until there are real consequences for engaging in such behavior.

"Kill non-Muslims wherever you find them. Lie in wait and ambush them, seize and capture them using every stratagem of war." Koran 9:5

Fort Hood Jihad Update: "Local soldier: Fort Hood shooting 'a bloody mess,'" by T.J. Aulds for The Galveston Daily News, November 5 :

"They were telling him that one guy was shouting something in Arabic while he was shooting," Tom Hunt said. "He couldn't say much more than that."

"Malik Nadal Hasan, the jihadi that led the attack on Fort Hood, was quoted as saying "Muslims have the right to rise up against the US military" "The Malik Nadal Hasan Muslims have a right to stand up against the aggressors" "maybe we should have more of these where people strap bombs on themselves and go into Times Square" - this according to Col Terry Lee who worked with Muslim convert.

The mainstream media, of course, is still searching for a motive.

Re: As many as 9 killed in Fort Hood shootings, officials say
reports now are saying that the shooter was a convert(revert) to Islam, a Major(officer) in the army

Allahu akbar insha Allah he be shaheed, what a brave mujahid

Authorities were concerned about Fort Hood shooter because of Net postings about suicide bombings, etc. -- but did nothing

They should have been shadowing this guy at every step. Or would that have been "Islamophobic"? "AP source: Authorities had concerns about suspected shooter, reviewed Internet postings," by Lara Jakes for Associated Press, November 5 :

WASHINGTON - Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter 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 Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was killed during the shooting incident that left least 11 others dead and 31 wounded. The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was not opened....

"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," said the Internet posting. "Scholars have paralled (sic) this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers."

I asked my friend, who is station in texas, but is a marine, and asked him if he was ok,
he said that it happened three hours east of where he is. He said and quoted off text message " cause the dude went over to iraq, and turned all islam on us, and then came back and wrecked shop for some reason."
Just some info, he could be wrong. sounds a little dramtic.

Everyone has a snapping point if you harass them to much...

so this guy is the perfect setup

1. muslim identity
2. psychiatrist
3. virginia tech graduate
4. military affiliated

i mean seriously, this situation is begging to be stereotyped. tomorrow at the office people across america will be fashioning their own generalizations.

"man can you believe that? i guess someone should have seen it coming given the fact he was (insert 1-4 here). they are crazy".

the rumor on the tube is that he is alive and in custody. get ready for a circus.

God gave man freewill. We'll see more.

Shooter is alive and in stable condition!!!

We don't have any facts other than his name.

how sad....please stop war and have peace

How sand hope this wont happen again stopped war and have peace please...

What a coward. As a member of the United States military it is his duty to go to war when his nation asks him to go.

Apparently he was afraid. Nothing new here, every soldier is afraid, even me. But we went and served our nation when the nation called.

But instead of serving his nation this coward kills 12 fellow soldiers and wounds 31.

Coward, coward, coward.

Every psych major I have ever encountered has obvious psychological problems they can't see their way through; and so, find their way to a promising career.

The religion of peace strikes again.
This despicable act and the equally despicable performance by Shecky the jug-eared community organizer at a gig for Native Americans.
I think this day pretty much rounds out the articles of impeachment for this corrupt dimwit from Chicago.

Ugh that really is terrible.

It is also disproves all those whose response to the Virgina Tech Massacre was "It wouldn't have happened if the students were allowed guns!"

Crazy people can do horrific damage regardless of gun laws.

12 dead plus 31 injured.
That means he hit 43 targets. Which means he fired , at the minimum, 43 rounds. If he had only 2 hand guns then that means he reloaded at least 4 times.

How quick did they say the police units arrived?

Alot of casualties for a "Shrink" to inflict .
Especially with, what I assume were, 2- 9mm Glocks.

"MARTIAL LAW"

You deserve the government you have

Psychos are psychos, whether they be Muslims, Christians, Nazis, republicans, democrats, gangsters, corporate scum, political whores or Israels. If you want to revolt, first you need a brain and then you need an idea (or many), then you you need a plan (an original one). Then you need the support (not much) and then you need the will and devotion to pull it off. We have none of these. We are a nation of delusional addicts cowering under the power of nightmares. Same everywhere you go.

Good night and good luck, from one who is desperately waiting for a positive evolutionary step forward.

I have yet to see a picture of this guy on the news. Isnt that odd considering he is an officer in the military?

I just want to say that my heart goes out to the families affected by this tragedy.

And my brain will never forget/forgive President(s) Bush for bringing this upon our great nation. Your thirst for oil/power has eroded our democracy and turned us against each other.

For shame ... and you better believe I will make it my life's mission that history credits you for this tragedy.

If it turns out the guy is a Muslim convert (what was his original Christian name?) and especially if he was overheard to be yelling Islamic slogans during the course of his rampage (don't know that he did, but wouldn't be surprised that a few Allahu Akbars slipped out during what he must have known would be a suicide operation), then all hell's gonna break loose. It will be interesting to see how the MSM tries to spin this one. We all know what Obama will say, that the guy is a loner who doesn't represent blah blah blah. A question I would have is if the military will start using some common sense and screen their personnel for anti-American religious sentiments. To hell with political correctness.

On the news the other flapping tongues speculating, "Was it stress?""Did he not want to go to war?"" The men at Fort Hood are searching for a motive. "Did his deployment lead the officer to commit these acts"?

IT'S THE JIHAD STUPID

Three men -- is a conspiracy. Three men is a terror cell. For the FBI to rule out terrorism in an obvious act of terrorism (by whom, we know not yet) indicates were are worse off than the UK. Three men, synchronized shooting, M16s, maximum kill ............ you won't get the real story from the media.

Now we'll have to watch the verbal two-step from authorities as they sanitise the Islamic aspects of this crime from the public statements.

We're going to be informed that these murderous muhammadans were actually very nice, very polite, very family-oriented and conscientious individuals.

But they just had this need to execute infidels in cold blood.

The Western world needs to grow a backbone and pretty quick.

The term "just b4 they deploy" will probably point toward a motive for the shooter or shooters.
So that means soldiers were targeted.

Yes, well - people going for religion are trying to gain something. But instead of gaining anything - (besides emotional masturbation) - they get side-tracked into extremist thought-patterns.
The mentally meek and needy. What did Barnum say?

we have rangers, F.B.I. local police still running around it sad, Im a former soldier myself Fort Hood was my last duty station

I live in Killeen and everyone is still on lock down

Being from San Antonio, I have had many friends from my high school who have signed up for the military. It's sad that the first thought from these responses are so negative or are based on assumptions when all the info has not yet come out. Some opinions may turn out to be true but this being so close to home, I am asking for thoughts & prayers for the victims and families right now. My friends and family aren't sure what's happening to loved ones up there. We just know this is absolutely devastating.

shooter i.d. Major Malik Nadal Hasan 2 more suspects in custody

Wait for it..........................................

The O word will be brought in to it shortly.

My heart goes out to the families of the Soldiers who have been killed & wounded today. Now is not the time to play politics; it is time for all Americans to come together to mourn & pay respect to our fallen brave men & women lost to this tragedy.
