Survivors described the scene as chaotic: the lone gunman spraying bullets in all directions, unarmed soldiers falling, screaming, scrambling to respond. Many soldiers ripped off their uniforms to use as tourniquets; others ignored their own injuries to help those more gravely wounded.
Lt. Gen. Bob Cone, the top commander at Fort Hood, said Friday that Sgt. Munley and her partner responded within three minutes of reported gunfire. Gen. Cone said Sgt. Munley shot the gunman four times despite being shot herself. “It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer,” he said....
I don't know about those 72 Virgins in Muslim heaven, but this Texan damn sure tried to send this traitor straight to hell.

sgt. munley saved lives, we will never know how many she saved but she stopped the slaughter.

How do you Wingnuts know this guy was a traitor he might have been taking medication and just went off.

Time will tell Sunny, but IMHO:
1. Lunatics don’t shout Alla Akbar when they are murdering unarmed people. That’s a Mulsim war cry. Lunatics shout about personal circumstances.
2. Hassan showed distinct signs of non assimilation. He described himself on websites as Palestinian, wore traditional Arabic dress, ad (most tellingly) refused to be included on official army photographs where women were present. All that says he isn’t your average apple pie loving American.
3. The FBI had investigated him for radical posts on the internet. FFS how many times do we need to see warnings like this?
4. Hassan attended the controversial Dar Al Hijrah mosque at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists – a distinct link to terrorism. As with point 3, this should have rattled bells all over the place.
5. Finally, look at the statistics. Muslims make up less than 0.3 percent of America's active duty military forces. Of the roughly 548,000 soldiers in the U.S. Army , there are 2,500 Muslims. That's a very small percentage, and the chances of the attack being just plain craziness on behalf of a soldier are about the same. In other words you could reverse the percentages and say it's a 99.7% chance that the guy is a terrorist.
time will tell. Unless Obama shuts the guy up...

I forgot to add another one:
Major Hasan had attracted the attention of US intelligence agencies several months ago with his efforts to communicate with suspected al-Qaeda leaders by “electronic means”, according to two officials briefed on classified material who spoke to ABC News.
Do you still think he 'just went off" Sunny? Somehow I dont tihnk so....

Meanwhile the press are reporting that Husan was hanging around strip clubs for the last few weeks.
Why would a devout Muslim do that? Well, Islam teaches that a jihadi martyr is forgiven all sins at the first drop of his blood. So having made the committed decision to kill “Infidels” they can go off rooting anything in sight. Its not unusual - In the days before the 911 attacks, some of the hijackers drank alcohol, slept with prostitutes and frequented strip clubs.
Thats another good reason to believe that says this was a planned terrorist attack.

The guy just snapped, you can't blame all the Muslims for this unfortunate occurrence. It was not a terrorist attack. Just one man who had been pushed over the edge by discrimination against Islam.

Just shoot him one more time, with a 21 Gun Salute at 20 paces then bury this ass with the guts of 12 pigs in and around his coffin. The 72 virgins won't get near. What a waste of pig guts!

Sunbaked Calif, you are a numbnut liberal or a numbnut Muslim. The first possession one should take care of is their soul. Forget the gold and your boyfriend, can't take'em with you.
