LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A 23-year-old man upset about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan opened fire from his truck at two soldiers standing outside a military recruiting station here on Monday morning, killing one private and wounding another, the police said.

The gunman, identified by the police as Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad of Little Rock, fled the scene and was arrested minutes later a short distance from the recruiting station, in a bustling suburban shopping center. The police confiscated a Russian-made SKS semiautomatic rifle, a .22-caliber rifle and a handgun from his black pickup truck.

The two privates, who were both from Arkansas, were in Little Rock as part of a recruiting program that typically uses soldiers recently out of basic training to promote the Army in their home regions, Army officials said.

Don’t forget the Bosnian ute in Utah at the tourist mall.

Do you think so? Why they did not arrest him before he murdered the Army recruiter?

I think this administration is only going to talk about keeping us safe. and talk and talk. Dick Cheney was right. The policies of the Obama administration will make us less safe.

What did the government know about this man and when did they know it? Who with any national visibility is going to ask these two questions?

Blame Code Pink. Blame Durbin for comparing our soldiers to nazis. Blame John Murtha for sliming our military. Blame the antiwar demonstrators when they parade with signs that read “We support our soldiers when they shoot their officers.”

If you are going to do the blame game everytime someone commits a murder then why doesn’t it work against the left who have a 24/7 propaganda machine greater than anyone’s.

Strange is it not that someone who saves lives is called a terrorist.

Do we think the Babies whose lives are spared would call him such?

Is there not an inherent right to self defense given to every human by his Maker? And if those humans are too weak to defend themselves is it not the right and responsibility for the strong among us to defend them?

When are we going to force the government (Our servants) to protect the civil rights of the smallest Americans.

we have looked the other way and failed to see that the most despicable of murders is practiced daily in America by the thousands.

Our nation no longer deserves freedom. We now have a Communist, megalomaniac of a president who is the lowest of the low. And he will remove from us the freedom we are not men enough to guard to ourselves and to our children.

When are we going to stop apologizing to the bestial bottom feeders of our society. When will we quit pandering to them. and when will we quit using the terminology they put into our mouths.

May God help us!

One of the images that come to mind when I ponder the American GI



Duty, Honor, Country

4 soldiers died in Afghanistan today fighting against the war on terror.

This shooting in AR today raises the number to 5.

I never thought I would be defending the likes of Olberman. However, Islam has always attacked all others - and has so done since its sorry beginning.

Nothing said by anyone “caused” any of the continuous attacks on non-Muslims by the Sand Savages of Islam.

ISLAM DELENDA EST.
