Mostly OK but when they decide to piss you off they pull out all the stops.

19. How's that argument go again? If only there were other people with guns there
   
they could have stopped the rampage before it got serious?

8. Malik Hasan is his name, according to ABC.
 They said he was a convert to Islam.



From Ace of Spades:

Quote
MSNBC says captured man is an Army major "with an Arabic sounding name".


RT @chucktodd NBC's Pete Williams: US official says early reports are the man in custody is in the military, late 30s, with officer rank.

The suspected gunman was identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan. He was killed and two other suspects have been apprehended, Lt. Robert W. Cone said

from ABC News.


Now...


What is going to happen if the other two turn out to be recent or not so recent Islamic converts.

Remember the attack on the recruiting station?
Remember Fort Dix?

yeah....

Ft Hood and some speculation so take this with a grain of salt
   

This could be a terrorist attack...

No, not foreign, but domestic.

The US Military relaxed its recruitment standards quite a bit over the course of the last few years because of a couple of wars you all know about This relaxation meant that recruiters actually allowed Militia members to join and get that first rate military training. Not saying that this was a militia, but you can bet your sweet potatoes that right now somewhere in the bowels of DOD a poor shmuck is taking those files out and started a process called a top down review.

Now if these guys happen to have any ties to the militias... this in my view is indeed the other shoe started to drop... the other shoe I have feared for years now.

Now I will say this, the POSSIBILITY that this is indeed terrorism is not that wild... just that this terrorism is not exactly coming from abroad ok. But I will use the word if and when we do get the confirmation (other shoe dropping)...

Oh and as Frenchie Cat pointed out, this is a year after the election of Obama. This is the first full day of that election...

So there you have it... and no, I suspect as more details emerge that this is not just about a deployment, or PTSD, as horrible as both can and are...

28. So you think the US has never ever had internal terrorism?
   Does I don't know Oklahoma City ring a bell.

And yes the US Military has allowed Militia AND Gang members to join its ranks in greater numbers. THAT my dear IS A FACT.

This is not political... but speculation based on FACTS... you know those things Right Wingers ALSO hate?

188. Or a group of soldiers was stealing equipment, somebody caught them, and a firefight ensued.
 Or these three people were smuggling drugs. Or other possibilities. One way or another, three guys in military uniforms shooting up an Army base doesn't exactly match the normal profile for other sorts of crimes.

105. Could be some PTSD troops who have seen "V for Vendetta" too many times
 Today is Guy Fawkes' Day.. remember, remember the 5th of November.

Perhaps some soldiers who are trying to avenge something???? Just a thought.

Ok you lurking DUchebags...the dead shooter is a convert to Islam from Virginia.

He was pissed about being deployed to Iraq.

That's all I trust myself to say on a DUmp thread right now.

216. makes ya wonder if Blend Geck's fans got riled up by his & other rethugs calls of resistance against
 our govt, and their calling of Obama a racist/foreign, etc.


Won't be surprised if you get whined at for putting unconfirmed info up like others have. If others don't want to talk about what might be going on, or why, why would anyone be in this thread!

Anyhow, being the 5th of November, and thinking about all the crazed comments from Beck & the teabaggers, this wouldn't surprise me IF it is an act of treason.

311. More Blood on Bush's hands.
 The blood just keeps flowing. Whether Obama gets the US out or not, all blood is on Bush's hands. It was that bastard Bush who mishandled the war in Afghanistan in the beginning and it was Bush who invaded a sovereign country who posed no threat the the US. Today's blood bath at Ft. Hood is a continuation of Bush's bungling and thirst for blood.

 I'm out.  these people are ****ing pissin me off too badly

I have a feeling this Ft Hood shooting is a new 9/11, and maybe bigger.

Anyone else as worried about this as I am? A rogue army......
