Major Malik Nadal Hasan Kills 12 Soldiers and Wounds 31 at Ft Hood, TX Murder Shooring Spree

Tragic News Out of Fort Hood, TX … Mass Murder at Fort Hood

Twelve people have been killed and 30 wounded at Ft Hood in Texas in a heinous and murderous shooting spree. The gunman has been identified as an Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan who was supposed to be deployed to Iraq later this month. According to reports, Hasan feared an impending war deployment is in custody as the sole suspect in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

Our sympathies and prayers go out to the brave fallen soldiers and their families.

So does this mass murder rise to the level of a hate crime? Or is it an act of terror?

Hasan was initially reported as killed in the following gun battle; however, according to later reports, the Fort Hood shooter is not dead. Hasan survived his wound and is not in danger of dying.

The shooter was initially reported to have been killed, but Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone told a late night news conference that the suspect was wounded and in custody. Cone would not say what Hasan’s medical condition was, but said the suspect was not in danger of dying.

Hasan is not talking to authorities, said Cone.

Two other soldiers were taken into custody, but were later released.

Fort Hood Presser

Deaths are a result of a single gunman, even though initially two other officers were taken into custody. They were later released. Malik Nadal Hasan is a 39 year old graduate of Virginia Tech and a psychiatrist licensed in Virginia who was practicing at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood. He had previously worked at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. It would appear that Hasan received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed, SHOCKER!

Statement from Hasan’s family:

“Our family loves America. We are proud of our country, and saddened by today’s tragedy,” the statement said. “Because this situation is still unfolding, we have nothing else that we are able to share with you at this time.”

Interview with co-worker Terri Lee of Hasan from Fox News via Macsmind. This individual worked with Hasan at the psych ward at Fort Hood. Hasan had made outlandish comments in the past condemning and critical our foreign policy. It cannot be lost on the fact that this killer was a Muslim and had made comments like according to this individual, “maybe Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor.” Hasan was referring to Muslims standing up to Americans as he believed that American should not be in Iraq or Afghanistan.

One thing is for certain, there are 12 people dead and over 30 injured. Families, friends, wives, husbands and children are suffering tragic losses tonight. This is believed to be the worst attack ever at a U.S. base, said the commanding general of Fort Hood, Lt. Gen. Robert Cone. This is no time for the press, military or our political leaders to get PC on this heinous mass murder. Call it for what it was … a terror act.

A Peek into Government Run Obamacare … VA Erroneously Sends 1200 Veterans Letters That they Have ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease)

So you want government run health care, eh?

A special shout out to the VA, Veteran’s Association, for showing just how efficient and competent government run health care truly is. The VA sent out letters to 1200 veterans informing them that they had the fatal neurological disease, ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

There was just one small problem. They didn’t have ALS. Cash for Clunkers administration meets health care. Oh those efficient government agencies.

What better information could Americans see than the actual workings of a government run health care system and the “computer glitch” that cause such harmful letters to be sent out to unsuspecting victims. However, as Black Five writes, “I wonder how much the Obama administration has appreciated all the help the VA has been giving them showing the efficiencies, savings and professionalism of government health care”. Behind every computer glitch, there is a person.

The Mystery of Missing Gulf War Navy Pilot Michael “Scott” Speicher Shot Down in 1991 is Over … Remains Identified in Iraq

The mystery of what happened to Michael “Scott” Speicher is over …

The 18 year mystery into what happened to missing US Navy Captain Michael “Scott” Speicher is finally over. Speicher was shot down on January 17, 1991, the very first night of the Iraq Gulf War, “Operation Desert Storm,” in his F/A-18 Hornet. Michael “Scott” Speicher was the first combat casualty for American forces in the war. From that point forward, his status and whereabouts remained a mystery, until today.

May Navy Captain Michael “Scott” Speicher finally rest in peace and his family have some form of closure.

Navy Capt. Michael “Scott” Speicher, the F/A-18 “Hornet” pilot who was shot down over Iraq on the opening night of Operation Desert Storm in Jan. 1991

The remains of Michael “Scott” Speicher have been positively identified according to the Pentagon by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.  After more than 18 years of speculation as to if Speicher was dead or alive, had survived the crash, died, was MIA, died in captivity or was still alive and being held captive, the mystery is over. The remains recovered included bones, skeletal fragments and a jaw bone. Dental records were used to positively ID the missing Navy pilot. 

Press Release from the US Department of Defense

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Captain Speicher’s family for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country,” said Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy.  “I am also extremely grateful to all those who have worked so tirelessly over the last 18 years to bring Captain Speicher home.”  

“Our Navy will never give up looking for a shipmate, regardless of how long or how difficult that search may be,” said Admiral Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations.  “We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Captain Speicher and his family for the sacrifice they have made for our nation and the example of strength they have set for all of us.”

Brilliant! Don’t Call Me Ma’am … Senator Barbara Boxer Meets Dr. Evil

This is a classic … From Michelle Malkin

Could you call me Senator? I’ve worked so hard to get this title.

Hey Babs, Dr. Evil wanted some respect too. It would appear that you two clowns are like peas in a pod. Let’s hope that this video shows up during Boxer’s Senate election campaign.

Here is the actual video of a childish Senator actually thinking that they have earned some type of respect as opposed to a military general.

California Democrat US Senator Boxer Scolds Army Brigadier General Michael Walsh for Calling her Ma’am, Not Senator

Barbara Boxer has a John Kerry moment … Don’t You know who I am General! Talk about a head trip and what is wrong with politicians.

TESTY, TESTY, TESTY … Seems that Senator Barbara Boxer is more concerned with titles than she is doing the work of “We the People”. Just to remind everyone, because if we don’t, Barbara Boxer will … she is a US Senator.

Talk about out of touch and too concerned with one’s own status. Barbara Boxer scolded a Brigadier General during a Senate Committee meeting on Environment and Public Works discussing the restoration of the levee system following the damage from Hurricane Katrina. That is correct. Ever wonder why and how we have a “do nothing” political system? These people are more concerned about themselves than “We the People”. They are more concerned about how they are addressed than the subject matter at hand. Could Boxer be any more small minded or petty? 

California Senator Barbara Boxer is a Senator. And if you don’t acknowledge it, she’ll demand you acknowledge it. Even if you’re a General in the United States Army.

Brigadier General Michael Walsh appeared before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works yesterday to discuss the restoration process of the New Orleans’ levee system due to the damage created by Hurricane Katrina.

Where was the Media and White House Outrage for the Murder of Private William Long? God Bless this Hero & his Family

Pray for the family of Private William Long who was killed by Carlos Bledsoe aka Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad. God Bless Pvt. William Andrew Long, may you Rest in Peace.

Vanderbilt – ‘09

Private Long was murdered by a
fanatical Muslim Convert Terrorist.
Appearing as a brainwashed zombie,
Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad (aka:
Carlos Bledsoe) acted out his handler’s
teachings and murdered an innocent/
unarmed American and wounded another.
Late and restrained comments by our
POTUS failed to underscore the
seriousness of this heinous act.

The father of murdered Army recruiter William Long speaks

Pvt. William Long

Please Watch the video at Black Five. This is so symblamatic of the salt of the earth that defends the USA and their fine supportive families. God Bless.

This is difficult to watch, but you should listen to Daris Long, former Marine and father of Private William Long who was killed taking a break outside of a Little Rock recruiting center. It’s important.

A tale of two statements from Barack Hussein Obama, one for a military member that he is supposed to be the Commander & Chief for, the other late term abortion doctor, Tiller the baby killer. Let us make no mistake who is the HERO, who is the baby killer and who is the terrorist.

6/3/09 - Underwhelming statement finally from Hussein Obama and the White House.

“I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long’s family as they mourn the loss of their son.”

compare that weak statement to the OUTRAGE Obama mentioned about the Tiller Killer:

I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.

Arkansas soldier killed outside recruiting center is mourned

I Once Caught a Missile This Big … Rodney Salomon Hooks Air to Air Missile

Tall tale fish story, or is it … I once caught a missile thiiiis big.

Everyone who has ever fished has their own fish story, but does your fish story include catching an air to air missile? Talk about your fish stories to tell your kids and grand children. Commercial fisherman Rodney Salomon hooked the missile 50 miles off Panama City in the Gulf of Mexico. Even more amazing than catching the missile, Rodney Salomon kept the missile on his boat for 10 days before returning to port near St. Petersburg. Luckily, it contained no explosives.

A military bomb squad met him at the shore in Florida to remove sensitive technology from the projectile and dispose of it.

Local authorities initially said the missile was live, but Eglin Air Force Base spokesman Samuel King later said it contained no explosives.

Salomon hoped to keep it as a souvenir, but took precautions because he didn’t know if it was live.

65th Anniversary of D-Day Invasion … Thank you to the Greatest Generation on The Longest Day

GOD BLESS OUR GREATEST GENERATION … THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE

Today marks the date of the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion  (must watch video) that took place on June 6, 1944. Thank you to the men who took part in this Longest Day who took part in the Normandy invasion as they attempted to gain a foothold on Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach . The Allies who fought tyranny … the heroes who helped win the war.

If you ever wanted to look and find heroes, look no further. They are the men and woman that made up “Our Greatest Generation”. They are our Armed Forced who sacrifice for us.

American troops landing at Utah Beach, Normandy invasion

June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy. The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded — but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

Watch the slide show and see what it was like to be there 65 years ago as our “Greatest Generation” sacrificed all for the freedom of others.

Oops, He Did it Again … Kim Jung-Il and North Korea Test Another Nuke … Get Ready for Another UN Stern Warning

Oops, He did it again and guess what White House … he’s not that innocent.

Communist dictator, Kim Jung-Il of North Korea has tested yet another nuclear device. This time in response to the UN Security Council not apologizing for previous sanctions against North Korea. Hold the phone, The U.N. Security Council called an emergency meeting Monday after world leaders reacted with outrage to North Korea’s latest nuclear test. This time the UN Security Council is going to draft another weak, pathetic and useless memo condemning Kim Jung-Il that he will laugh at.

 Art imitating reality in Team America World Police. Warning: this version, all though more fitting and to the point also has graphic language, be warned.

North Korea earlier said it had tested the weapon in an underground explosion, provoking an angry response from the world’s governments.

It had threatened to conduct the test if the U.N. Security Council did not apologize for imposing sanctions on North Korea after it tested a rocket April 5.

The secretive communist state also apparently test-fired a short-range missile Monday, the White House said.

Is this more of the type of diplomacy we have to look forward to? Kim Jung Il and Madeleine Albright toasting glasses (H/T: Michelle Malkin)

There is no need to speculate whether Kim Jung Il conducted a second nuclear test, As Don Surber says, just ask him and the answer is “yes”.
