Fort Hood's 9/11: Islamist terror strikes US again
NY Post ^ | 11/06/2009 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 11/07/2009 3:41:16 AM PST by iowamark

On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting "Allahu Akbar!" committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.

What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.

This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it’s an act of terror. Period.

When the terrorist posts anti-American hate-speech on the Web;...

But the president won’t. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there’s no such thing as "Islamist terrorism" in ObamaWorld.

And the Army won’t. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America-haters is safer than calling terrorism "terrorism."

And the media won’t. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops — despite their crocodile tears.

...The US Army’s unforgivable political correctness is also to blame for the casualties at Ft. Hood.

Given the myriad warning signs, it’s appalling that no action was taken against a man apparently known to praise suicide bombers and openly damn US policy. But no officer in his chain of command, either at Walter Reed Army Medical Center or at Ft. Hood, had the guts to take meaningful action against a dysfunctional soldier and an incompetent doctor...

Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we’re assured that "Islam’s a religion of peace."

I guarantee you that the Obama administration’s non-response to the Ft. Hood attack will mock the memory of our dead.

The FBI, warned in advance about the terrorist did
NOTHING,so after the terrorism, word from the
WhiteyBulger Center said it was not “terrorism”.

Just another of AG Holder’s “consultants” and “workers”.

he was on fire last night on the Factor.

good for him. good for O’Reilly.

unfortunately he was preceded by Geraldo who spent his segment lamenting the cruel teasing of his fellow soldiers which must have been what pushed him over the edge.

Unbelievable.

Just heard Col. Peters discussing this on the Oreilly-for-insomniacs rerun, and he had a ‘The Emperor Has No Clothes!’ moment...

He correctly pointed out that the Media obsession (shared and promulgated by ‘The Great BO, Himself’) with the “Muslim Terrorist” vs. “Nutjob” is a false dichotomy - the two are not mutually exclusive....

How refreshing to hear such common sense from a Talking Head...

I caught the segment with Col. Peters. He was, indeed, great.

I appreciated that he had the guts to also point out that Obama didn’t miss Friday happy hour last night, but if these murders had happened at a Mosque he’d would have been on Air Force One crying and wailing . . . but forty plus soldiers are shot and he doesn’t go to Ft. Hood.

If a white officer had been going around saying the things Hasan said for YEARS, he would have been out on the street long ago.

Don't blame the military--policy is established by civilian authority starting with the congress who passes the PC laws and the CIC who signs them And the policies and atmosphere DIDN'T ORIGINATE with the current CIC

And blame all the dumbasses in this country who HATE PCism and still vote for thr democrats

The number of excuses being offered up for this POS is breathtaking. Its only a matter of time before some leftwing moonbat floats the idea that it was someone else and Hasan is just a convenient scapegoat. Peters is right—the Army should have booted this guy long ago. Someone should start keeping a body count attributable to Political Correctness.

It may turn out that the Army knew more than they are letting on. It portends badly, now all Muslims, or those like this terrorist who denied he was a Muslim to the military but have a Middle Eastern name need to be looked at. We cannot have have fanatical terrorists shooting up our soldiers and our citizens. This is a fifth column which is very dangerous. It’s ugly but prudence demands it. These terrorists are making public statements which are dangerous. There are too many comments that this terrorist made that should have forced people to react.
