CNN showing pics of the soldier...

[Conservababe]

Aaron Brown and Wesley Clark already excusing him, stating stress from the mission.

Oh, it's just stress. Well, put him back in uniform, then...

Clinton foreign policy in a nutshell.

It is not insanity, it is treason. They are deliberately hiding the truth of the matter for the express purpose of running down morale of people at home. If they told people it was a Muslim American grenade attack, everyone would slap their foreheads and understand immediately. It is not like the DC sniper never happened. We grok this stuff. But the media is instead deliberately suppressing the truth to milk the moment for maximum morale reduction, pretending all soldiers are psychotic or everyone hates the war or what not.

Remember the posters at the SF commie rally? We support our troops - when they shoot their officers? That needs play, right now. Fox should be showing that sign, along with reporting it was a Muslim American soldier, along with comparisons to the DC sniper incident. Instead, most of the media will not even mention his religion, and Wesley Clark is droning on about generalized demoralization, and the anchors are relaying wives at home in tears, yada yada.

This is major, this is huge. This is a Big Lie, in real time.

[Conservababe]

could you make out his race? he looked white to me.

He looked black to me in the pic, but of course I could be mistaken.

[kaylar]

This 900+ thread reported from earlier, unexpurgated sources that he's black. Some controversy over whether he's a "black muslim" (a black man who's a muslim) or a "black muslim"(as in, follower of Louis Farrakhan or other black muslim group...which are considered heretical by mainstream muslims, IIRC).

[Maeve]

It really is as if he has been brainwashed and programmed by someone.

[Diogenesis]

He should be tortured to reveal with whom he is linked ... then hung.

If it turns out his handlers are from ABC and CNN, then so be it.

[gov_bean_ counter]

How long has the Army been allowing Army chaplins from the more radical Moslem sects?

[Mr. Mojo]

Stress from the mission? His only mission was to kill as many (non-Muslim) American soldiers as possible. That's it.

Wesley Clark is one of the most contemptible pricks around. He's in the same league as Ramsey Clark.

Sky News UK.....unlike CNN reports more details:

'US SOLDIER ATTACKS TROOPS'

An American Muslim soldier is understood to have carried out a grenade attack on a US military camp which injured 16 soldiers.

A second man, who is not a soldier, is thought to be held.

Three grenades were rolled into three tents housing military leaders of the 101st Airborne Division Saturday night at Camp Pennsylvania, home of the, near the Iraqi border, said Sky correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is in the base.

The grenade that was rolled into the first tent, where the commanding officer sleeps, did not go off.

But two other grenades used to attack tents where the unit's majors and captains sleep did explode.

'Acting weird'

Ramsay watched as the suspects were held.

"Two men are being held, one of which is a Muslim soldier who is an engineer," Ramsay said.

"It appears he was hiding in a barrack where the attacks happened. A second man, who we believe is not an American soldier, is being held by the military.

"As the man who carried out the attack moved away there was some shooting. He was shot in the leg. He was held on the ground less than 100 yards from where the attack happened."

He said fears about the Muslim soldier's behaviour had been raised in recent days by colleagues.

Interrogation

"In recent days they were concerned about his behaviour and were not going to send him up to the front when the soldiers were going to be deployed."

It is not clear whether the soldier, who Ramsay said would have been in the Gulf for some weeks, had planned the attack before being deployed.

"To be honest we just do not know," Ramsay said.

"Talking to other soldiers, it could be that he was disgruntled. They said he had been acting 'weird' for days."

Eleven soldiers who were seriously hurt were flown out of the camp by helicopter.

[Conservababe]

I will be betting that they will take a closer look at their chaplains now.

[kaylar]

One of those soldiers has died, per the WP. Link is on reply 867 of the thread I posted a link to .

[Mears]

Who is Wesley Clark?

[RandallFlagg]

Agreed. Firing squad.

[fhayek]

Immediately

[WSGilcrest]

Make the Mother F%^&*er walk a mine field!

[Mr. Mojo]

Indeed, the Islamoterrorist piece of sh/t should be tortured without mercy and then promptly given the most humiliating death possible. .....right after we extract info.

[shamusotoole]

Fox said "American Muslim." Hope not!

[Mo1]

Doesn't he want to impeach Bush???

That is Ramsey Clark .. we was LBJ's attorney General

The guy on CNN is Wesley Clark .. the General that was in charge of Kosovo .. and has hopes of running for President in 2004

[Maeve]

Maybe "What is a Wesley Clark?" To think he was a general of such high rank and now all we can say is that his opinions are rank.
