Keyser Söze: "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist."

After two days of investigation into the mass shooting at Fort Hood, investigators have tentatively concluded that the attack was not part of a terrorist plot.
Rather, they have come to believe that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused in the shootings, acted out under a welter of emotional, ideological and religious pressures, according to interviews with federal officials who have been briefed on the inquiry.
Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that Major Hasan believed he was carrying out an extremist’s suicide mission.
But the investigators, working with behavioral experts, suggested that he may have long suffered from emotional problems that were exacerbated by the tensions of his work with veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who returned home with serious psychiatric problems.
They said his counseling activities with the veterans appear to have further fueled his anger and hardened his increasingly militant views at the same time that he seemed to move toward more extreme religious beliefs — all of which boiled over as he faced being shipped overseas, an assignment he bitterly opposed.
Investigators have gleaned most of their findings from Major Hasan’s computer use and from interviews with his family members, co-workers and neighbors. One significant investigative thrust has involved determining whether Major Hasan had contact with extremists who preyed on his increasingly angry and outspoken opposition to American policies in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But so far, investigators have unearthed no evidence that he was directed or steered into violence or ever traveled overseas to meet with extremist groups, as defendants in other recent terrorism cases are accused of doing, the officials said.
The officials emphasized that their findings were preliminary, and that the investigation was fluid. New information could alter their perceptions of Major Hasan’s motives.

Suppose Hasan was a Muslim extremist acting alone -- does that make his 13 victims any less dead? It shows that a single terrorist can do immense damage. In a sane country we'd ask if Muslims ought to be in the military (and then rethink immigration policies). Since we are too enlightened to do that, we should at least take pro-Muslim-extremist statements by soldiers as immediate grounds for discharge. Hasan gave ample warning.
religious pressure
give me strength for crying out loud
Major Hasan believed he was carrying out an extremist’s suicide mission.
This was a case of ritualistic genocide, not just murder.There is a significant difference.
God defeated Allah at Fort Hood.He also did not let Hasan die to gain a seat next to his perverted god.
Political Correctness is used to keep America blind to what actually goes on inside a Mujihads heart mind. The left has worked so hard at making sure that America does not see its war against Terror as a religious war, when in fact the enemy sees it as EXACTLY that. A religious war.
This is , as Bush said, a war against evil. And evil came to Fort Hood in the form of a jihadi who was in fact possessed by Allah.For me this incident has shades of the movie “Exorcist.”
And Good has triumphed, even though so many innocents died.
This truth of which we speak needs to me shared with America as much as possible.America needs to know of the evil which it faces, at long last. No matter what the left want to make of it.
The religious practice of the Mujihad needs to be explained to every one. There is an inner prayer designed to connect one with the self righteous energy of Allah, who literally takes over the body and mind of the jihadine.That’s what happened here.A kind of Muslim spiritual possession.Hasan was not insane, or deranged. He was just fired up on his prayers and energized.He was executing a religious ritual which he believed would open the gates of heaven for him.Hasan expected to be killed so that he and his victims would end up basking in the radiance of Allah, which is the spiritual goal of the Mujahid. That is what makes this incident religious genocide. THIS IS A WAR CRIME.No different that the burning of the Jews by Hitler.
The MSM will not properly inform the public about this religious practice of jihadism.It would no longer be a war on terror,The terrorists could no longer be redefined as “criminals” by Obama , who should be Mirandized with the benefits of due process that Bush had made sure to remove, as deserved. These secret jihadist teachings now flourish on US soil, and within our own military. They must be rooted out and utterly destroyed.
I was just going to post the EXACT same thing: It IS a terrorist plot!
letsnotgojumpingtoanyconclusionsnow
So why the hell was the FBI investigating him??? Overdue library books?
And if you can’t trust the NYT who can you trust? ;)
Religious pressure and Pelosi’s midnight vote...I need scotch.
Yes, unless they uncover that he was some kind of plant and this was the plan all along, then you are correct that HE plotted and carried out this act of terrorism. HE was the terrorist. What has happened to people that they would gloss over his own actions and statements as to what was motivating him??
It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to be a plot. One man is sufficient to cause lots of death and mayhem, as we have seen. The Times is a bunch of dissembling fools.

What a crock.
As Bill Clinton might say, it depends what you mean by “plot.” If you mean was he acting on orders from Osama bin Ladin, who telephoned him from a cave in Waziristan, then probably not.
But if you mean he had connections with other Muslim extremists at his Virginia mosque, and if you mean that he plotted or planned this attack carefully ahead of time, and if you mean that he cold bloodedly murdered a dozen people because he considered them to be enemies of Islam, then, yes, sorry, he is a terrorist plotter.
Frankly, stuff like this makes me wish that the next Muslim terrorist would go after the offices of the NY Times.
Unfortunately we set the hurdle pretty high to declare terrorism during the Bush administration.
Anyone not connected to Al Qeada or some organized terror cell. Instead we have what are called “isolated incidents” or “random acts of violence”.
The spin merchants are in turbo drive. Obama MUST be protected and any cost.
“Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that Major Hasan believed he was carrying out an extremist’s suicide mission.”
My 3 year old grandson could have had that figured out the next day...but he still needs me to buy more ammo...
