The Army most certainly did drop the ball.  With all his known connections to radical Islam and that Jihadist leader, how is it that they did nothing?  This is what your politically correct America gets you.  Unbelievable.

I just finished watching a report and apparently the FBI knew of his more than a dozen contacts with the terrorist leader and organizer but they didn't inform the military!  From what I understood it's the FBI that didn't follow through and stated that he wasn't a threat, consequently no notification to the military.  Lindy

It also sounds like he was being deployed overseas and did not want to go. Sounds like he was a bit off his rocker also.

If I twisted your words to make you evil, you straightened them out to show that you are evil. I am around christians all the time and believe that i can honestly say that not one would advocate or condone the taking of anothers life, for the sake of murder. Of course as you stated, all crhistians jump for joy when a murder is committed. Eeeeew, the bad christians. Oh, and President Obama has told us to not to jump to conclusions and to wait for all the facts, you know, like he does?

 




First Lev, quit twisting my words. I'm the one walking in peace protest because I'm against all violence, no matter where it originates. I want these wars stopped, NOW. Second Lev, do not use my name and Obamas name in the same post. I'm tired of that. He is our president, get over it already.

This was so sad on all fronts.  These poor people did not ever expect to be gunned down on their own base and the poor young pregnant lady who made it home from Iraq only to be shot at home by one of her own.  Just rediculous.

An excerpt opinion piece from the WSJ
Dr. Phil and the Fort Hood Killer
His terrorist motive is obvious to everyone but the press and the Army brass.
 
By DOROTHY RABINOWITZ

It can by now come as no surprise that the Fort Hood massacre yielded an instant flow of exculpatory media meditations on the stresses that must have weighed on the killer who mowed down 13 Americans and wounded 29 others. Still, the intense drive to wrap this clear case in a fog of mystery is eminently worthy of notice.

The tide of pronouncements and ruminations pointing to every cause for this event other than the one obvious to everyone in the rational world continues apace. Commentators, reporters, psychologists and, indeed, army spokesmen continue to warn portentously, "We don't yet know the motive for the shootings."

What a puzzle this piece of vacuity must be to audiences hearing it, some, no doubt, with outrage. To those not terrorized by fear of offending Muslim sensitivities, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's motive was instantly clear: It was an act of terrorism by a man with a record of expressing virulent, anti-American, pro-jihadist sentiments. All were conspicuous signs of danger his Army superiors chose to ignore.

What is hard to ignore, now, is the growing derangement on all matters involving terrorism and Muslim sensitivities. Its chief symptoms: a palpitating fear of discomfiting facts and a willingness to discard those facts and embrace the richest possible variety of ludicrous theories as to the motives behind an act of Islamic terrorism. All this we have seen before but never in such naked form. The days following the Fort Hood rampage have told us more than we want to know, perhaps, about the depth and reach of this epidemic.

And that is the problem we face today and it is only going to get worse.
 
Well put Bodak. Looks like being PC has infiltrated the Army as well. We all know there are some very loyal Muslims here in the USA. The problem is they do not make themselves known. Where is there outcry? All these radical anti American Muslim acts just keep adding up and like it or not the perception is that Muslims follow the Koran not any Government
