I cannot believe what I am seeing/hearing.   Some MF SOB is on TV
talking about some GD conference when he should be informing the
American public about the situation and offering condolences to the
families of those murdered by the perp(s).

Un fucking believeable  His actions are beyond comprehension.  He
should eat shit and die.

What an asshole!

Now, now Chuck.  Remember, he is the president of ALL the people, you
included.

I couldn't believe my eyes and ears either when he so clearly demonstrated
his priorities.

But then, I said to myself, George Bush made him do it.

With muslims in our Military, what if a patrol is sent out and your son
is in the patrol. And right beside him is a muslim, who might shoot him
in the back. "I got your back" is a dangerous situtation today...

I'd rather have a committed American soldier, regardless of race, color,
religion, sexual orientation, education level, sex, etc. next to me than a
nutcase, coward, or sociopath - regardless of his/her race, color, religion,
sexual orientation, education level, sex, etc.

And believe me, there are proportionally more nutcases, cowards, and
sociopaths amongst Harley riders than amongst Muslims.

During the Bush 2 administration, on numerous occasions, the dems
called him every vile name in the vocabulary of Hunter because he
didn't respond immediately to some event.  Katrina and other disasters
were ALL BUSH'S FAULT.  

But yesterday, 0 finally made an appearance to comment on the
Terrorist attack at Ft. Hood. He first had to offer praises to the
brave native Americans who had attended the conference.    And when he
did remember to comment, it took him 1:58 to get around to mentioning
the tragedy.  He hasn't even bothered to go to Ft. Hood to give a show
of support.  His only positive act is to ORDER THE FLAGS FLOWN AT HALF
MAST.

This 'boy' is an embarrassment to the entire country: totally
unqualified for the job..  How can you libs sit back and not comment?
Do you approve of his total dissing of our armed forces?

There is something around 100 muslim soldiers assigned to Fort Hood.  At
any given time between 1/3 and 1/2 of them are deployed to Iraq or
Afghanistan.  From what I hear from soldiers I sometime play golf with
they are trusted battle buddies within their squads and platoons.

Prove me wrong.  Be sure before you try that you understand the meaning of
"proportionally."

  pretty sad, ft hood houses 75,000 army troops, about 25,000 are
in iraq jerking off, so even with the 50,000 troops on site it took
a civilian woman to come in and save the 50,000 troops from the
big bad muslim ,,,, what a shame,,,,, usarmy might never live this down
--wait til the muslims in mid east hear about this, and goodbye to bambi
as world leader, after all he commander in chief includes usarmy which
did cowardly stuff against one muslim fatass who is in same usarmy, what

Now who's talking out of their paper asshole?  Fort Hood has never seen
75,000 military population, the actual assigned population floats
somewhere around 54,000.  And there aren't 25,000 troops from Hood in
Iraq, more like 16,000 from the 1st Cav and its support units.  The
actual base population yesterday was probably close to 31,000.
And despite your Rambo fantasies they don't all run around with loaded
weapons, or any weapons for that matter.  Their first stop when the get
off an airplane returning from Iraq is the unit armory where they check
in their weapons, not to see them again until it's range time.  Only
then do they get to claim their duffle and unite with their families.

So far as the civilian woman, she was a cop and according to reports a
tough cop.  She and her partner were the first officers respondng to the
call, arriving about 3 minutes after the first shots were fired.  The
shooter was put down by a duly sworn police officer no matter the
internal or external plumbing.  She's also the mother of a 3 year old
daughter and married to an Army NCO.

No matter how you want to bitch, the command structure, president down,
did almost everything right.  They isolated the scene, shot the gunman,
treated the wounded and got them to professional help in a helluva
hurry, the Commander in Chief talked with the senior officer on the
ground, Genaral Cone, promised him all the help he needed from anywhere
then stayed the hell out of the way.  The absolute last thing Fort Hood
needed yesterday was to get the word that Air Force 1 would be on the
ground at Robert Gray Army Airfield in two hours.

While date and arrangements aren't finalized yet a fort wide memorial
service for the dead will most likely be held next week.  I wouldn't be
at all surprised to see Air Force 1 fall out of the sky here that day.

I agree with almost all of what you said.
But..... there were signs that the "command structure" ignored.  (not that I
find that unusual)
The shooter had been written up for engaging in Islamic proselytization when
counseling the troops.
He had been known to criticize the war in Iraq.
Why wasn't he subjected to a psychological examination?
What sort of "judgment" was used when they decided to send him to Iraq?
I think the "command structure" f..ked up. (but, as a veteran of Korea, I
don't find that unusual)
Fort Bliss Commander, Major General Bromberg, said on TV this evening that
members are encouraged to report any suspicious or unusual conduct.
Why? To be ignored?

Now this is a profound statement. The hells angels are a minority,
not a majority. You ought to hang out at a Harley Dealers for about an
hour, you might learn something. You haven't the slightest idea what the
breakdown is of Harley owners, age? sex? income? occupation?
You have to spend at least $20,000.00 for a new Harley, and if you order
a custom made bike think $100,000.00
You've been watching too many fictional movies.

I think O'Reilly nailed it just a few minutes ago.  No commander and not
even the FBI wanted to go after a Muslim Arab.

Political Correctness you know.  He was in a protected class and that is
why those people are dead and wounded today.

Because the people whose job it is to take the responsibility and make a
decision have #12 BBs for balls.  Their career takes precedence over
doing the right thing.

No, I've spent most of my life working in law enforcement.

Max, when I posted that the command structure did exactly the right
thngs I was referring only to the shootings and their aftermath.  I
agree with you that mistakes were made prior to that.

He had hired a lawyer to try to get out of the Army sometime around 2002
or 2003. The problem was that he had gotten his medical education
courtesy of DOD and that carries with it a significant service
obligation.  Graduating, getting licensed in one or more states then
trying to claim conscientious objector or other status in an attempt to
duck the service responsibility is a fairly common dodge which rarely
works.

He was rebuked for prosthlesizing the muslim religion but in actuallity
that isn't all that unusual in the military.  Had he done the same thing
for <pick your choice> mainstream religion most likely little note would
have been taken of it.  I know I was offered a smorgasbord of religions
while I was on active duty.

Serious attention should have been paid when he started posting some
really off the wall stuff on blogs.  But, where do you draw the First
Amendment line?  Suppose it was just another clever shrink attempt to
dodge his service obligation.

I don't have a clue as to what his motivation was.  Anger at being
shipped to Afghanistan at the end of the month?  Anger that his car was
keyed? Anger at being called "a camel driver" although I have a real
problem envisioning that ever happening.  No enlisted would dare ever
call an officer that (to his face) and I just can't see his fellow
doctors doing it.  Civilians, maybe.  Military, not likely.  Absolute
faith in the insanity of martyrdom?  He wasn't married so maybe he was
really looking forward to deflowering a raft of virgins.  That's as good
a reason as any.

I don't know Max,  hindsight is always 20-20. With a base population as
large as it is, I'll bet there are other candidates that would fall in the
same suspicous behaviour category. The biggest problem is working with the
Muslim religion and treating them equally with the rest of the religions.
Walk on eggshells.
Just like other lone assassins he had deep-seated hatreds that could never
be predicted in advance.
