Fort Hood shootings: FBI given gunman's name six months ago The US Army major who killed 13 people in a shooting spree at America's biggest military base had come to the attention of the FBI six months earlier over possible links to extremist comments posted on the internet.

By Gordon Rayner and Nick Allen in Fort Hood, Texas Published: 9:59PM GMT 06 Nov 2009

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a devout Muslim who was trying to buy his way out of the Army, was suspected of being the author of postings which compared suicide bombers to heroic soldiers who throw themselves onto grenades to save others.

It also emerged that Hasan, 39, had described the US Army as "the aggressor" in Iraq and Afghanistan and was resisting a planned deployment to Afghanistan, raising questions over whether the military missed warning signs which might have prevented the massacre.

Witnesses said Hasan shouted "Allahu akbar", Arabic for God is great, as he opened fire – a phrase commonly used by Islamic militant suicide bombers – though investigators said there was no evidence he had been recruited by al-Qaeda or other Islamic extremist organisations.

Hasan – who was initially thought to have been killed – is being kept alive on a ventilator after being shot four times by a civilian policewoman

But the homeland security document said right wingers and those who’d ALREADY BEEN DEPLOYED were the threats to national security.

Lessee, the Federal Bureau of INVESTIGATION says the military missed warning signs. Um, who had those "signs" in their possession? Did they pass them on with appropriate urgency? Hmmm?

We'll see whom should be the Holder of responsibility here.

Nothing to see here, move along. According to DHS, he did not fit the profile of a terrorist.

Obviously the spin talking points have been issued to the MSN by Axelrod from the heady precincts of the White House.
We need to change the language. I laugh about all the descriptions of this incident.

Words are used like shootings , killings , ( couched in terms as if the victims could shoot back.)

This happened at a med facility where there was a long cue for flu shots and other medical processing.The perpetrator calmly got to his feet , reached into his jacket, drew two pistols and calmly started walking down the rows of people , pointing his weapons and shooting them calmly, point blank, in cold blood.

This was not “shootings” This was not “killings.” This was genocidal execution. These human beings were dispatched as if they were animals.One woman was 6 months pregnant.

TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH. GENOCIDAL EXECUTION is what this was.

The same sort that happened in Kenya , courtesy of Obama’s tinkering there. in 2007.

OBAMA'S FAULT!!!!!!!

I have been posting this oped by Mark Steyn since early this morning.

My first paragraph intro deals with the probable coverup by Walter Reed and Homeland Security:

“Did Homeland Security and the Brass at Walter Reed ignore the Islamic killer’s rantings, promote him and send him to Ft Hood?”

The killer doctor apparently voiced his hatred of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and our warriors to anyone and on a regular basis. He got by with this bs because he was Islamofascist, who became an Islamofascist Mass Killer.

Did Homeland Security and the Brass at Walter Reed ignore the Islamic killer’s rantings, promote him and send him to Ft Hood?

Mark Stein does a great job of shredding the pc bs and getting to reality of Islamic Killers in America and around the world:

First this POS should have received military courts-martial, dishonorable discharge and put on a terror watch list. Except within the Clown Universe, he is promoted, used as a poster boy for Islam and would be protected by Homeland Security as a fellow traveler of Holder and Obama.

The message to the entire jihad world is this:

You can be an active-duty member of the US military and publicly post anti-American Muslim jihad rhetoric and...attend enemy insurgent training bases in your 7th century uniform and...even be reported as a threat and the “authorities,” civilian and military, WON’T DARE TOUCH YOU.

All the American 'news' media (w/exception to FOX which isn't a news station) must get their reports cleared through the appropriate Obama Administration Czar.

This killer apparently worked with Homeland Security during the transition period.

HLS was too busy looking at dangerous veterans to notice this TROPOS, spreading verbal treason under their noses.
