“...other soldiers harassed him for being a Muslim”
Oh, moose manure. He was a bloody Major. Who was harassing him. Colonels and Generals?

A neighbor said he and his brother lived together and they were such nice men.
But, she didn’t want her name revealed.
I suspect you are correct and his computer will reveal the truth.
I hope this wacko survives and goes on trial

My diagnosis..This guy was GAY!!!!!
He's in the Army, not the Postal service. The closest he'll get to Oprah is the TV in his room, provided he has one. He'll be confined pending the final disposition of this case. You have no "right to bail" under the UCMJ.
We all knew he was a protected minority (aka. muslim ROP, etc.) when the media and the feds wouldn’t release his name for 3 hours. Lets just pay his familiy (like the “flying imams”) a few million and cast ourselves at the muslim’s mercy and hope our whole country ends up like Dearborn or NJ.
So instead of turning his gun on himself, he shoots innocent solders who have nothing to do with his deployment.”
Suicide is forbidden in Islam.....unles you die killing infidels.

Well then maybe the Army was a poor career choice. You see, it turns out that when you join the military, you are sometimes expected to deploy. It's weird how that works!
Political correctness will be the death of this country unless we speak the truth!
Those who choose to assault the G_d given rights of the citizens of this land shall, nay must, not be afforded those rights under penalty of death!
May the Lord bless us all in the coming struggle.
“Suicide is forbidden in Islam.....unless you die killing infidels.”
Appologies for my ignorance. It’s been a while since I attended “Terrorist Night” at the Mosque on Wednesday night.
so let me remind you that one of the very first things that Hussein did upon entering the Oval office was to instruct that the bust of Winston Churchill be removed...
not to the archives
not to the Smithsonian
but returned to the British Embassy
there was a lot of speculation as to why he did this...most of it centered upon Winston’s participation in the crushing of the rebellion in Kenya that Obama’s grandfather was caught in...and imprisoned...which rebellion Winston is reflecting upon in the quote you posted.
so quoting Churchill to the NYSlimes will have about as much effect as quoting him Hussein, our Present.

Barack Obama’s grandfather was imprisoned for two years and tortured by white British soldiers during Kenya’s bloody fight for independence, his family have said.
Hussein Onyango Obama, the U.S. President-Elect’s paternal grandfather, worked as a cook for a British army officer after the war.
He became involved in Kenya’s independence movement, which spiralled into a terrifying uprising by guerilla fighters known by the mysterious name ‘Mau Mau’.
Hussein Onyango was arrested in 1949 and jailed for two years in a high security prison as the British struggled to quell one of Africa’s bloodiest and most desperate rebellions against colonial rule.
‘The African warders were instructed by the white soldiers to whip him every morning and evening till he confessed,’ Sarah Onyango, Hussein Onyango’s third wife, told The Times.
Describing how white soldiers visited the prison every two or three days to carry out ‘disciplinary action’, the 87-year-old said her husband was subjected to horrifying violence.
‘He said they would sometimes squeeze his testicles with parallel metallic rods. They also pierced his nails and buttocks with a sharp pin, with his hands and legs tied together with his head facing down,’ she was quoted as saying.
The alleged torture was said to have left Mr Onyango permanently scarred, and - like many Kenyans arrested and accused of being part of Mau Mau - bitterly anti-British.

‘That was the time we realised that the British were actually not friends but, instead, enemies,’ Mrs Onyango said. ‘My husband had worked so diligently for them, only to be arrested and detained.’
The British response to the Mau Mau rebellion - officially known as the Kenya Emergency - is widely controversial.
Barack Obama mentioned his grandfather’s imprisonment in his book ‘Dreams from my Father’
The guerilla nature of the uprising, combined with wild rumours of terrifying ‘oathing’ rituals and even the name itself - the meaning of which has never been determined - struck terror into the hearts of the outnumbered white settlers in Kenya.
The response was, in many cases, as Mrs Onyango described: a horrific crackdown on Kenyans, even those with no link to Mau Mau.
The movement had its roots in the Kikuyu tribe, but other tribes in Kenya - such as the Luo tribe, which Mr Onyango was part of - sympathised with the independence movement, especially once British anger turned on all Kenyans.
British fear became such that some academics have argued their response to the uprising only radicalised Kenyans who may otherwise not have felt as strongly about the violent path to independence.
One scholar, John Lonsdale, wrote: ‘If one were treated as Mau Mau by police, it looks as if it seemed prudent to become one.’
A full ship’s company crowded with shoulder to shoulder with spectator march through the streets of Mombassa. The parade was held as a deliberate show of force in the fight against the Mau Mau
Mr Onyango, according to Mrs Onyango’s account, was one of those embittered against the British, though there is no suggestion he actually became a Mau Mau fighter after his imprisonment.
Mr Obama refered briefly to his grandfather’s imprisonment in his best-selling memoir, Dreams from My Father, but stated that his grandfather was ‘found innocent’ and held only for ‘more than six months’.
The Mau Mau uprising officially lasted from 1952 until 1960, though the insurgency was growing in the years before that when Mr Onyango was arrested.
It was eventually quashed by the British - but the tensions it created, not only between Kenyans and the British, but between white Britons in Kenya and the British Government, may have hastened Kenyan independence in 1963.
What a crock! His whacked mooslim relatives say he was a “good American” on the Curtis Swila show. They say he was “dealing with harassment. He was trying everything to take care of his situation.” “It was the harassment...that he was dealing with his middle east ethnicity.” WHAT A CROCK! Is a warm bullet from an appointed appropriate firing-squad to his convicted whacked brain harassment?
I agree. Every one of these mass shooters seems to say outrageous things long beforehand that are ignored by the zombies who hear them and do nothing to avert disaster.

You’re assuming he’s psychotic. I think he’s just devout.
The spin is that Obama will blame George Bush for driving this guy to go crazy! Hasan is a George Bush victim
