12 dead, as many as 31 injured in Fort Hood shootings

What a tragic happening. MY heart goes out to the dead, injured and their families. So senseless.

Has the government issued a statement that "this is NOT an act of terrorism" like they've been doing for years, usually five minutes after the event and before any substantial information could be had? :roll:

You have to admit, an attack on an army base, 30+ shot, and a subject in custody with "an Arabic sounding name", sounds rather suspicious.

IF it is terrorism, remember that when they can only do "small" stuff they often do it in waves of multiple attacks... I'd be a little extra-cautious for a few days, especially near anyplace that draws large crowds.

FNC says the FBI has stated there is no terrorist motive.

The first attack on the WTC was treated as a mere criminal act too. This will go down as yet one more "isolated, not to be too concerned about" attack upon military personel.

Six add'l suspects? Nine total in this incident????

That's what they say, although given the reports we've seen today, I wouldn't put too much stock in that as of yet. If there were 9 people involved, I doubt that there would have only been one shooter.
 
This makes my stomach turn . . . so much crap.
 
FNC's Shep Smith is reluctant to announce the shooter's name.

Edit: A local Texas newswoman said the shooter was a Muslim convert.

What exactly are you angry about? The fact that he's not jumping to conclusions?

This thing could very well turn out to have been the one guy while the other two suspects were just caught up in it. No point in speculating as of yet.
 
Shooting occured at the processing area of the base. A pistol was used, which means the Major might have been the OOD (Officer of the Day).

Base is on lock down. Surrounding area is on high alert. One accomplice is still at large. Get that piece of ****...
 
LT. General honore is comenting on CNN now.

Major Malik Nadal Hasan is suspected as the primary shooter currently.

I heard some unofficial reports that an accomplice (who is in custody) fired upon SWAT officers, while another accomplice is supposedly at large. If true, this was a coordinated attack.

That's because despite the facts of our reality, people in power want others to believe that we are at war with merely a small handful of people and a few lost souls who merely need some rehabilitation and some lawyers. But what's a few dead soldiers? It's not like civilians were killed. For them we go to war. For us, they ignore it.

We are like a cancer patient who refuses treatment because accepting it means that we actually have cancer.

I'm not quite sure we should turn this into a political thing just yet.

My condolences go out to the families whom have lost loved ones today.

No, its because he works for SaudiNews and cant report the truth due to the possible repercussions.

Kudos to CNN! (I cant believe I said that).

Do you speculate this could be another example of "al-Taqiyya"?
 
Re: 7 dead as many as a dozen hurt in Fort Hood shootings

Major Malik Nadal Hassan is the suspect.

Am I wrong in thinking this is a Muslim name?
 
The rot of Political Correctness is why nightly news stories accross the country sound like this...

A man commited (insert crime here) today...

Islam is a religion, which means a name is not necessarily indicative of being a Muslim.

It's certainly an Arabic sounding name, but that doesn't necessarily mean the person is a Muslim, although I would speculate that he is.

It seems quite unlikely that this wasn't a terrorist act.

I doubt this very seriously, but you never know. Sleeper cells do exist. And this type of attack is nothing new. remember the Gulf War? When the U.S. soldier tossed a grenade into his commander's tent? He was Muslim and didn't like that we were heading into battle to fight Muslims.

Same crap...different wars....always Muslims. But you watch and see how quick the west is blamed for racism for pointing this out.
