This story is getting fishier by the minute (as John and Adam predicted on the last No Agenda). First, the Texas governor was saying (Youtube clip) that there were 3 shooters, and now this:
U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
CIA director Leon Panetta and the Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, have been asked by Congress “to preserve” all documents and intelligence files that relate to Hasan, according to the lawmaker.
Two libertarians are walking down the road and they come to a person in the ditch. He has been beaten, and lies moaning, broken, bleeding. One libertarian says to the other, “You know, if enough people get beaten up and thrown in ditches, the free market will provide people who will give assistance to them, for a reasonable fee.” The other libertarian says, “Yep.” They go on their way, happy that the free market is working.
Then there were all his calls to al qaeda’s 1800 number and all those emails to osama@alqaeda.com.
The news media was covering up the fact that the man was Islamic. They covered up his name. They don’t want us to know how poor a job Obama is doing as commander-in-chief. Obama’s homeland security people said the biggest threat was Americans who believe in reducing taxes and having a small government. No, the biggest threat is Islamic terrorists.
The man is a terrorist even if he is a lone wolf. He shot unarmed people while shouting, “Allah Akbar.” How depraved can people be if they think that killing people in the name of this Allah character will get them anything but universal hatred. In fact Allah isn’t even a god. He is just the delusion of some barbaric 6th Century Warlord.
Islam is not a religion of peace, like we were taught. It is a death cult started by a ruthless warlord named Mohammad. It should be an outlaw religion since it is too dangerous to have crazies that could go on a jihadist killing spree at a moments notice.
Even the way they treat there own people is abhorrent. Woman can be raped and then stoned for adultery. Their testimony doesn’t count for anything in a Sharia court. Muslims want sharia for the rest of us.
I used to think that it was just a small group of Islamics that were terrorists and that their were some moderates who didn’t operated like a bunch of 5th century neobarbs, but the Fort Hood shooting changed my mind.
If I ever hear the words, “Allah Akbar,” I am diving for cover. I now demote Islam below the Church of Scientology.
#23 Uh, Benjamin, unless terrorists kill at least 3000 people in an attack we had prior warning of, he won’t be doing worse than the last president. So far Dubya has the most Americans killed on his watch record. FYI.
And BTW Benjamin, I agree with you somewhat on the Islam thing. But Dubya’s ham-handed blundering in the Middle East made things much worse. So if you’re looking for someone to blame for the mess we’re in, it’s not the guy who’s been in office less than a year. But I suspect you’re looking for someone to blame with a “D” after his name.
If this was a govt conspiracy, then why is he alive? Think they would have let him survive if he was a stooge or a patsy? No way.
As far as you guys predicting that this was fishy, you say that about everything including sudden rainstorms…you’re bound to get a hit occasionally. But in this case you’re using the usual confusion to add gunmen and make it something it’s not…incidentally(?) removing the fact that this guy was probably a home-grown jihadi although we have been assured that the threat is from the Teapartiers.
I’ve been a cop for 30 years and I’ve yet to see a major incident where there were not tons of wild-ass stories going around. Every shooting has multiple gunmen until the investigation shows it doesn’t. I’ve had gangland shootings where people claimed to have seen helicopters dropping people on roofs…but somehow only seen and heard by one guy and not on the security cam videos. But for some people like Adam, the lack of evidence is evidence that the conspiracy is working and larger than we can possibly imagine.
The Ft Hood witnesses probably saw either responders form base and assumed they were shooters, or people escaping who they thought were perps. They DID have two guys in custody but released them very quickly…someone grabbed them on suspicioun until they were vouched for.
As for the “he was dead but now he’s alive” thing, you’re now taking unconfirmed media reports and elevating them to some sort of official status…people saw him shot, and assumed he was dead and the useless media picked it up without checking and aired it…and it now feeds into the conspiracy stories.
Happens all the time regardless of whether Adam says “That stuff just doesn’t happen”.
Note that I’m not saying that there are no conspiracies…I just think that if “They” are doing all this stuff, they aren’t going to make stupid mistakes like letting the shooter survive.
Isn’t Al in the phone book?
Muslims don’t need permission to murder.
Holy shit #15! Let’s be PC here, it’s Sand Knee Grows.
—-Isn’t Al in the phone book?—-
No, but these guys can probably put you in touch:
Yeah, what are the chances that a radical Muslim doing God’s work by killing US soldiers enmass would feel the need to contact more of the same as himself?
RBG
Good thing John Muhammed is going to be executed. But Nidal killed more people. He shot them twice to make sure they were dead.
What about that black Muslim who fragged a number of officers in tents in Iraq? Ever hear from him again?
#26
Ya, but when a well packaged MSM comes out with him having links to 9/11, or tried to contact Osama or johnny on the spot with video of him looking like a “terrorist”, it gets fishy. I think there is more to this story them we are being told.
Why is it so hard to believe that a Muslim radical decided to kill people after a PC army culture missed all the warning signs? Why does it require a conspiracy for so many of you?
#34 From what I’ve read about the desperate need for Army therapists to handle all the soldiers coming back with PTSD, I suspect they looked the other way because they need all the therapists they can get. This guy’s grip on reality was already a bit sweaty, and he goes over the edge when he realizes he’s going to be deployed. Yes, it looks like the Army screwed up by not taking the signs seriously. But how many guys show signs similar to this and don’t crack? Only the Army knows.
