At least 12 killed in shooting at Fort Hood, Tex.

Washington Post ^ | 11/5/09 | William Branigin and Carrie Johnson

Hasan is a U.S.-born Muslim of Palestinian descent whose parents came to the United States from the West Bank. He joined the military after high school and earned medical degrees as he rose through the ranks, family members said.

'snip'

Hasan attended the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring and was "very devout," according to Faizul Khan, a former imam at the center. Khan said Hasan attended prayers at least once a day, seven days a week, often in his Army fatigues.

[kellynla]

“breaking news?” where the hell have you been all day...

shezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[ncfool]

The spin is that Obama will blame George Bush for driving this guy to go crazy! Hasan is a George Bush victim

[IncPen]

I see the ‘company line’ is not his muslim-ness, but rather the stress of deployment.

OK, fine, that’s great.

But he was still a muslim.

Right?

[Psycho_Bunny]

"Killed"? Sounds like their bus rolled over.

I thought they were "murdered".

[BallyBill]

CAIR promised it has nothing to do with Islam.

Sleep Well America. Barack Hussein Obama will.

[Random Access]

I am glad someone finally decided to post this story!

[publana]

Since he worked on a security committee for Hussein, good luck spinning that BS.

[Man50D]

We will not be able to defeat terrorism until people understand the root cause is Islam. Muslims only have allegiance to Islam but do not have allegiance to country.

[ASOC]

Just reported on Fox

“Suspect had acted oddly this morning...giving his posessions away to neighbors”

I don’t know about Ft Hood, but here in Anchorage, that would have gotten a call to the cops.

Believe it or not, if a drunk is ID’d as a GI, a full team is dispatched -
Cops, medical team, Army rep and at least one mental heath worker.

They don’t fool around, the Muni wants to protect our Vets.

Anyone live in the Ft Hood AO? Does Kileen have something like this?

(Yes, Ft Richardson is tiny compared to Ft Hood)

[BallyBill]

Oh, and a Shemp Smith guest just made HIM out to be the victim here.

[DannyTN]

He was still a muslim, who was being watched because of Internet comments for over six months, long before the stress of deployment.

[the anti-liberal]

And he:

... who was listed as a participant in a Homeland Security Policy Institute's presidential transition task force last year.

The task force was not officially affiliated with the White House. It was a project of the Homeland Security Policy Institute, an independent thinktank housed at George Washington University, aimed at drafting policy recommendations for the incoming Obama administration.

According to the task force's May 2009 report [pdf], a "Nidal Hasan" from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine was a task force event participant. Other participants included Senate and House staffers, Department of Homeland Security officials, Defense Department officials, and reporters for Politico, the Washington Post, and the London Times.

Nidal Hasan: Ft. Hood Shooter Participated in Homeland Security Disaster Preparation

I'm guessing he was promoted because of his connections higher up, and this is why an investigation into his online jihad comments was not opened.

[dervish]

Shooter was of Palestinian lineage. His brother lives in Jerusalem.

[LeonardFMason]

HE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The murderer LIVES!!!!!! Explain that!!!!! How did that detail get screwed up!

[dervish]

The breaking news is not the headline but the info in the article about his background.

[dervish]

great find FRiend.

[Shadowstrike]

Hang him.

[4Speed]

Did not we Taxpayers foot the bill for $20 million to relocate some Palestinians (not Paki’s) to Immigrate to the USA ?......as one of Obama very early presidential Admin actions ?
I recall such was quietly recorded the first month of the presidency.....
and my point is ?

All Immigration is NOT HARMLESS....SOME immigrants have proved to be quiet Deadly and unassimulated into American Society.
Let’s us and Congress “Put a friggin lid on mass Immigration from Jihadist countries” For our own safety and well being.

[blackbart.223]

"Oh, and a Shemp Smith guest just made HIM out to be the victim here."

That would be Hasan's cousin who called him a great American. I want to puke.

[TXBlair]

I haven’t laughed much today, but your comment cracked me up. Thanks, I needed it.

*watery smile*

My favorite line:

“His death is not imminent.”

[Candor7]

Another Muzzie flips and goes berzerk? Yawn.

. Been there, seen that, got the T-shirt.

The T-shirt says," Club Gitmo!"

Muzlims in the military are not to be trusted.Thats a fact Jack!

[Dallas59]

We mustn’t post stories like this. It may make people thing bad things about Islam./s

[piasa]

homeland security bump

[smoothsailing]

That’s quite a catch, al.

[randomhero97]

Nice research.

[blackbart.223]

"Let’s us and Congress “Put a friggin lid on mass Immigration from Jihadist countries” For our own safety and well being."

Considering the current Congress I wouldn't hold my breath. They are to busy trying to enslave us.

[blackbart.223]

"Hasan is a U.S.-born Muslim of Palestinian descent whose parents came to the United States from the West Bank."

Why that fact was not a red flag to someone astounds me.

[dervish]

I think we are taking them from Iraq.

We also take large amounts from Somalia who are very active in trying to implement Sharia here.

Self-destruction is the left’s mantra.

[mike-zed]

All these right wing lies really piss me off.

This Mennonite was obviously framed.

[the anti-liberal]

Someone else did the research, I just passed it on.

I would love to hear someone pose a question to Gibbs about this.

I would also love to see a record of this jihadi's contribution to the Homeland Security Policy Institute's presidential transition task force. I'm guessing we'll see that record when we see 0's hidden documents - iow, never.

[lone star annie]

How special the cone head from hell was an anchor baby!

[elephantlips]

Amen!!!!!! Muslims are NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!!!

[smoothsailing]

Good points. I also wonder how long that pdf link will exist. Thankfully we’ve got your post.

"Boy I'm-a tellin' hue, you're a real a-Johnny on the spot with that bit of a-breaking news."

[GOP_1900AD]

Root out all fifth columns in our military. Court martial them, execute them.

[blackbart.223]

"How special the cone head from hell was an anchor baby!"

The sign of things to Come? How many more of his ilk are floating around?

[1066AD]

Uncle Obama has about $900million budgeted to help resettle Palestinian refugees. $20million spent so far.

I gather this guy had a blog that raised some alarms but they were just watching him; tricky situation because if they move too early there would of course be cries of “profiling” etc etc.

[Allegra]

We will not be able to defeat terrorism until people understand the root cause is Islam. Muslims only have allegiance to Islam but do not have allegiance to country.

Exactly.

The media can spin this all they want, but any of us with more than two functioning brain cells can discern what the motive here was.

[1066AD]

fired a pair of pistols, one of them semi-automatic,

What was the other, single shot ?
One report said full auto fire was heard "...soldiers can tell the difference ..."

[blackbart.223]

"I gather this guy had a blog that raised some alarms but they were just watching him; tricky situation because if they move too early there would of course be cries of “profiling” etc etc."

I guess we wait and see how this all pans out. I hope there is no white wash of this. No more excuses for murderers.

[the anti-liberal]

Here's another post with the .pdf saved on a different site:

Army Major Played Role in Presidential Transition

[dervish]

“On a form filled out by those seeking spouses through a program at the mosque, Hasan listed his birthplace as Arlington, Va., but his nationality as Palestinian, Khan said,

“I don’t know why he listed Palestinian,” Khan said, “He was not born in Palestine.”

Nothing stood out about Hasan as radical or extremist, Khan said.”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_fort_hood_shooting_suspect

So the Imam did not think it “extremist” that a major in the US Army would list his nationality as Palestinian. Unbelievable.

The FBI and the Mulin protection society can spin it any way they want. This son of a bitch is a terrorists and guilty of treason against this country and his fellow soldiers.

The FBI and the government assums that all Americans are stupid.

[Americanexpat]

A whole lot of things were reported wrong initially, which often happens in stories like this. But still, it seems the news being leaked out was intentionally misleading.

[elhombrelibre]

See the links from the great Obama who cannot function without a teleprompter.

Pre-T PTSD, since he never had been deployed? Sheesh.

It’s Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

[SunnyUsa]

wow I didn’t know about this - the media wants this “unpleasantness” to go away.
