In a time of war, they volunteered to defend us. They would have died as heroes for us. Had they, at least their families might be making some sense of the terrible loss they must feel now. With loss, there might at least be meaning — the understanding that their loss is what history has always deducted from our hearts to keep evil at bay for a greater good, for freedoms that are not free. But Nidal Hasan’s murder of twelve soldiers at Fort Hood will be all the more agonizing for the families because there is simply no making sense of it. It had no meaning. There are no words to express how contemptible it was — this cowardly theft of brave young lives from the parents who invested decades of love in their children, of spouses who will never be consoled, and of children who not know mothers and fathers.

Big Apple Infidel (Diary) Saturday, November 7th at 8:20PM EST (link)by the UK Telegraph: Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists
As investigators look at Hasan’s motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

Poor, misunderstood shrink
Dr. Botkin Saturday, November 7th at 8:21PM EST (link)Political Correctness was largely responsible for the massacre at Ft. Hood. Signs of things to come were ignored by people who should have acted to intervene, but did not.
This monster’s Islamic background, was initially covered up or minimized by the government controlled media.
Obama, brought up in Islamic schools, has cautioned against “jumping to conclusions.” in this case. Only a few months ago when one of his Marxist buddies, the college professor, resisted a lawful action by a police officer, Obama ignored caution and jumped to the conclusion the police officer was some kind of racist. Now that an Islamic jihadist has been been apprehended red-handed, the rest of us are suppose to exercise caution,
We will all need diversity and tolerance training in order to “properly” react to these heinous killings by an apparent jihadist terrorist.
The fact that Hasan was Muslim will be minimized and the “stress” of his situation will be the culprit. After all, he was this basically such a “nice guy” with an “inner conflict.” Hussein Obama will go through the motions and take political advantage of the situation as he continues destroying this country with his Marxist Czars and insane spending.

The Grognard (Diary) Saturday, November 7th at 9:01PM EST (link)and intellectually bankrupt in the extreme.
The author states that the families of those slain could make sense of it if their sons and daughters had been killed in battle, but “But Nidal Hasan’s murder of twelve soldiers at Fort Hood will be all the more agonizing for the families because there is simply no making sense of it. It had no meaning.” The author goes on to say, “There are no root causes, “legitimate” grievances, or divided loyalties that can explain Nidal Malik Hasan, though in due course, some will try to find them.”
Lets get this straight. There were plenty of “root causes” and “divided loyalties” that offer insight into these murders that we are told that we can “make no sense of” or that “had no meaning.”
The root causes and divided loyalties were Islamic Jihad, as taught in page after page of the “holy” Quran.
Lets get something clear. Those soldiers WERE killed in battle, but they were unarmed and unprepared for the ambush in which they found themselves faced by a ruthless, deadly enemy. They were attacked in a “rear area,” by the same enemy that led the assault against the Twin Towers (both in ’93 and on Sept 11, 2001). They were attacked by the same enemy that killed our embassy people in Kenyan and Tanzania in 1998. They were slain by the same enemy that attacked the USS Cole and killed 17 servicemen in 2000, The same enemy that killed more than 200 marines in Lebanon in 1983 is the same enemy that killed those soldiers at Fort Hood. It is the same enemy that held our embassy people hostage in Iran in 1979 for more than a year. And do we need to mention the 17 slain in our Labanese embassy in 1983? Have we really forgotten Akbar’s grenade assault on his fellow soldiers in Kuwait just a few years ago? Has it been only a few month since two privates were shot outside of a recruiting office in Little Rock Arkansas, with one slain?
The list goes on and on and on, going back decades, and yet no one dares name the enemy; Islamic Jihad.
It is writ large on page after page after page in the “holy” Quran, but America has decided to collectively stick its head in its posterior, failing to see the enemy that is set against us. Meanwhile, our soldiers die in a war few among us are willing to admit is being waged.
This attack was not senseless, meaningless, or mysterious, if we are honest with ourselves and with each other, because it makes perfect sense in the context of a death cult that seeks the killing of the “infidel” as the highest and most revered cause.
How many more American servicemen and women, not to mention civilians, must be slain at the altar of political correctness that refuses to name the enemy, that refuses to attribute cause to an effect, when the relationship between the cause and the effect is as clearly shouted as the phrase “Allahu Akbar” that is shouted every time another act of war is committed against our people?
The enemy has clearly declared itself time and again. I wonder how many more Americans will die before we fess up to our own complicity in ignoring the enemy that is currently waging war against the US by any means?
What’s next? A school hostage situation, like the Russians faced in Beslan, where hundreds of young children were shot out of hand by the enemy? Maybe it will be suicidal martyrs with bomb vests strapped to their bodies as they killed dozens or hundreds in a shopping mall, or maybe a busy bus stop in a big city.
How many more ludicrous stories and articles can we stomach decrying the “senselessness” of these attacks, when we all know that they are NOT senseless, but premeditated acts of war inspired by a vast corpus of Islamic writings and teachings?
Given the coverage of the Fort Hood shootings so far, and the endless and execrable search for a “motive” for these murders, I think its fair to say we haven’t quite reached the tipping point of honest yet.
God help us.
Yes - What next?

phxg (Diary) Saturday, November 7th at 9:43PM EST (link)And while their deaths may have occurred on US soil, it was no less as heroic then if they fell to AK47 fire in Afghanistan. We will probly never know how many troops ADVANCED on Hasan unarmed in order to end the threat.
No, a terrorist attacked Americans and while devastating, those brave men and women gave the Ultimate Sacrifice for America.
They are heros no less. And even more so as they were taken by a man so chicken he could only attack the unarmed.

How The Fort Hood Shooter Will Be Judged................
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Sunday, November 8th at 12:00AM EST (link)………….I’m full of “hope” that judgment will be by a magistrate who will bring some “change” to Major Hassan in the form of a guilty verdict and then a sentence for this poor woebegotten and forlorn misunderstander of Islam to be wrapped in bacon and left out in the desert sun.
My guess though is that AG Holder will order all charges dropped against Major Hassan, because this poor woebegotten and forlorn misunderstander of Islam wasn’t read his rights and acknowledged understanding of said rights before being fired upon by an evil white police officer who left her assigned post purposely to take out a member of the peace-loving religion for no reasons other than Islamophobia and racism.

“Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday’s rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
=====
Its way past time that the secular socialist party (aka democrats) stop the distractions (aka straw dogs) as far as islamic domestic terrorists!
Bill Klinton did nothing but embolden the cultist islamic murderers but now the PC-diversity-islamophilic democrats are at the end of sanity.
The islamics are NOT victims so stop painting those that choose to come here, be educated here and work here under our freedoms as some sort of “victim”. Who do you think you are fooling?
Its not about the media stress template, its not about being a moslem, its not about Iraq…its about the decades-old jihad against America trumpeted by pseudo-clergy across this nation week after week under the guise of “peace or love”.
Can you imagine any christian religion here acting on “death to infidels” in their Bible and getting a “lib pass” over and over as they kill innocents and kill innocents again?
This bootlicking and excuse-making for any “pet minority” by democrats has got to stop. This moslem nutcase was known for months but due to PC-ism (aka liberalism)…nobody risked the wrath of what the truth would bring upon them.
Obama has appointed so many radicals that we can expect a torrent of excuse-making and America-bashing instead of taking nationwide precautions against this deliberate organized hate that always leads to the murder of innocents. Yes, profile them 24-7.
If terror had a 25 year history of being done by a “Norwegian Zion-Pentacostal Church member” (for example) then what is wrong about profiling that group 24-7?
Even Hollywood loons fear any islamic insults so movies are cleansed while the cultists demand America change schools and the workplace to accommodate their ways.
Do you see massive condemnation of this mass murderer by CAIR and such via the media this week? What does that tell you?
One thing you can count on…the modern liberal never runs out of excuses…. or into reality.

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Monday, November 9th at 1:11PM EST (link)Hi:
I’m on a jobsite and don’t have the time for fact-checking what’s at this link on The Jawa Report…..
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/199515.php
They link over to, or mention MSNBC and a report that the lead FBI investigator (who by sheer coincidence happens to be a Muslim) has dismissed Islam/religion from motives of Dr. Hassan.
I think this has to be some sort of a joke or satire, but The Jawa people aren’t known to run out rumor and tin-foil-hat material without stating it upfront.
Thanks.
