In an interview that aired Monday, Foster, who refused to discuss the incident in a news conference Sunday, said he couldn't be certain the shooter said those exact words, explaining that “with that much adrenaline, you tend to forget things.”

THIS IS A FLAT OUT LIE

ROBERTS: So you were acting like a soldier. You were acting heroically. We should point out that you’re with the 20th Engineer Battalion and despite your best efforts and I guess the efforts of your comrades, as well, four members of the battalion were killed, 10 others were injured. And you were shot in the hip and you didn’t realize it at the time?

Foster: I hadn’t realized it at first, but with that much adrenaline, you tend to forget things.

CNN LIES!

Either he said it or he didn’t, and there were witnesses.

Generals these days, seriously.

The spin they put on Pfc. Joseph Foster’s quote is a flat out lie. Read the original transcript I posted above and the link to the original interview.

Is what we are seeing the clean-up operation? ....laying out the bread-crumb trail for the trial?

Casey can’t really say anything that would allow Hasan’s lawyers to call for a mistrial. So I don’t blame him for being non-specific about details. I blame him for his diversity crap.

General Cone,

YOU'RE a Commander — NOT a politician.

We KNOW this PC garbage originates from the Civilian Leadership, but you don't need to encourage it. You endanger the lives of your troops and Americans in doing so.

So all due respect ... lead your men and women, stop enabling more Islamic terrorist attacks on the soldiers, and STFU!

Thanks.

It was a liberal movie, and I did not like it, but certainly there was a scene in "JFK" which sounds exactly like the kabosh they are trying to put on this. I remember all the initial reports coming in to families in Utah, others, who clearly stated this jerk yelled "Allah Ahkbar". Now look at them trying to cover it up (they are also very silent about this visit Hasan got from a fellow Islamist to his apartment):

-"How many shots did you hear?"

-"Four to six."

"Impossible! ....You heard echoes!! ECHOES. We have three bullets and three shots that came from the Book Depository. That's all we'll say."

-"No, sir. I saw a man shooting from behind that fence. What are you going to do? You go out there and get him!"

-"That's taken care of! You only heard three shots, and don't discuss this with anyone. No one. Understand?"

-(Which is strange 'cause it's less than 20 minutes after the assassination.)

"Get her out of here."

-(I knew something was crooked as a dog's hind leg.)

“The supposed shouted quote is still a matter of speculation and under investigation by CID,” Bruce E. Zielsdorf said. “Lt. Gen. Cone is correct in saying he'd heard such reports, but without audiovisual documentation of the incident, it is still an issue to be addressed through the investigative process, and we will do nothing to jeopardize that effort.”

I believe the wounded warrior who said, when asked, on Camera, with his doctor by his side, said "Yes", he shouted "Allah Akbar". This was guy that the "shouter" shot. I do believe he was there.

Link here to a statement from Gen Casey the day after...just posted it this morning...to me it gives a very different flavor to Gen Casey:
