Attack at Fort Hood

Obviously this is no time for snarky comments. Not with reports of 12 dead and 30+ wounded.*

Apparently the gunman's name is Nidal Malik Hasan -- a US Army Major and a recent convert to the religion of peace. He is also a psychiatrist. Seems old Hasan is also a big fan of suicide bombers.
One of the officials said late Thursday that federal search warrants were being drawn up to authorize the seizure of Hasan's computer. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.

"To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its (sic) more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause," said the Internet posting. "Scholars have paralled (sic) this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers."


* Of course the narcissist in chief should also probably take it a little more seriously instead of giving shout outs and droning on about his wonderful conference before expressing his concern.

  1. Moral equivalency at it's best. I apologize for unleashing this on the world.
