The terrorist murders of completely unarmed soldiers on the Ft Hood grounds recently, at the twin-handgun-fisted hands of Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan — an Islamist insurrectionist — is only one of a number of killing incidents directed at our country from Muslims.

Here is the Truth: the Ft Hood terrorist attack was the worst on American soil since 9/11.
And Mr Obama full well knows that any terror attack on American soil during his administration will doom him for a second term. Therefore, it is in his political best interest to craft and shape and mischaracterize any Islamist attack away from that focus and into the “isolated violent act” category with no reference to Islam whatsoever. Hence his current moves.
Those persons who died were disposable — for Mr Obama’s politics. You. Me. We would have been disposable as well. Do you realize how incredibly craven and disgusting that is?
Ah, Islam: the religion of peace, tolerance, understanding and respect for women.

P.S.
Another list of Islamic terror attacks on American soil here, from 1972 on.
What is the problem with all of these politically correct asshats? It was an attack, it was a radical Muslim that attacked, it was another act in this undeclared war that Obama denies even exists…
Damn Obama and ALL PC cowards to hell, Islam is evil personified and that stain needs to be wiped off of the fabric of America!
TF, I’ve always said back then and always now:
Islam IS as Islam DOES.
One measures most anything NOT by what it espouses but by what it actually accomplishes — or NOT.
How many people do Catholics KILL?
How many people do Christians KILL?
Then measure that by Islam.
Quite simple, actually.

I have linked this post over at Infidel Bloggers Alliance.
And to think Bush had over 7 years in office to catch Hasan and failed. Goodness this attack really shows how pathetic the Cheney spying program was!
Hasan needs to face the same justice as John Allen Muhammad the DC Sniper another Bush era terrorist who conducted terrorist attacks killing 10 on American soil because Bush and Cheney were dithering…
If only we knew who was really responsible for the Amerithrax Attacks conducted during Bush’s presidency.
As to how many people do catholics/christians kill do we know the religion of right wing extremist Richard Poplawski when he conducted a terrorist assassination of 3 Pittsburgh officers? Or of Steven Kazmierczak who murdered 6 at Northern Illinois University while Bush was defending his legacy?
Hmm, I could go on and on with the terror murders committed while Bush was president but after all those don’t count because Bush is a Republican.
GEG: nice try. You just try to compare Islam to Christianity. You want to genuflect towards Mecca five times daily you just be my guest. You wish to treat your wife or girlfriend as do Islamists, you be my guest. But keep all of that to yourself. I’ve made my judgment call and I’ll not be having ANY aspect of Islam in my life, thank you kindly.
You want to get into Leftist terrorist events in America, we can talk that as well. The 70s were rife with Leftist assholes on the Left Coast — I know, because I LIVED those times as a citizen and as a cop. I MET Angela Davis. I MET Joe Remiro and Russ Little. I MET Elaine Brown. I MET Ted Kaczynski on 8West. I KNOW what ideologically-driven evil looks like.
You’re going places in that comment that have little if anything to do with the topic at hand.
BZ
AOW: and thank you most kindly.

Unfortunately it is not just Islamic terrorism, although it is the most virulent. When looking at the past, going through the Clinton Administration and the latter part of Bush-41 one gets the idea that the US is the best target to go after as it doesn’t hit back.
I do not forget the Abu Nidal Organization nor the Reagan era support for a prime spreader of terrorism in the ‘arms for hostages’ deal. Mind you we had lost many Marines in Lebanon, and yet we turned right around to deal with those same terrorists to get hostages back… when we should have been killing the terrorists. If the problems that went on through that era, starting with the PLO and FARC during the LBJ Administration, then Nixon turning a blind eye towards Pakistan’s continued funding of terror groups, then Carter’s inability to address Iran spreading terror into the Middle East that was worse than the PLO, through Reagan and Bush and through Clinton who had many lacks in trying to show ‘good will’ towards Muslims that just got more and worse attacks against us…then we must remember them all and not pick and choose who to castigate as President as there are enough Presidents at fault in BOTH PARTIES to show how we have decided that getting our citizens killed is preferable to standing up to the killers waging their Private War upon us.
What is horrific is that the Obama Administration wants to turn back the clock to 9/10 and even further back. Even after the hundreds of attacks by many groups upon our Nation, its soldiers, citizens, and companies over decades, we have a political system that yields those who WANT MORE DEATHS. And then want to turn an even blinder eye to its spread into the Nation via external organizations, be it FARC hitmen or Wahhabi terror Imams we have demonstrated that we think its just fine and dandy to paint a target upon ourselves and put a ‘Patsy’ sign over our heads.
That is why I’ve had it with both political parties and their factions: they want us to get killed and are unwilling to fight against our killers. Bush-43 was damned selective when he could have sought much more and truly put a price on the head on every individual on the terror watch list. Start at $1 million a pop, dead or alive, and we would have had a lot of dead terrorists by now at the hands of those around them. You do not fight terrorism like it is war waged by a Nation State as it is not that kind of war. Policing gets you killed as the civil law is not set up to go against those who reclaim all their negative liberties and become enemies of all mankind.
Too bad the elite effete have infected our political class and they prefer that our citizens die rather than fight against the spreading barbarism that is brought to our shores. A Nation cannot survive doing that. Nothing is ‘too big to fail’. No company is that way, nor is any Nation ‘too big to fail’ when it is attacked like this.
And if Liberals like to compare Bush to Nero, then do point out that their Caligula is quite some bit worse, and following the exact same path from public adoration towards public hatred in less than four years. Rome would survive Caligula, but it was no longer the Rome it was before him and heading downwards because of him. Rome was not too big to fail. Neither is the United States. I would personally not like to see a Dark Age following the fall of the US, but it is apparent that many in politics welcome that. Because they cannot do the simple thing and defend us any more.
Thanks SO kindly for weighing in, AJ!

BZ, re-read the comment. You’ll find no deference to Islam in my post. Unlike your hero Bush who kissed Saudis on the literal lips and figurative ass and called Islam “a peaceful religion”.
Readjust fire and place it in the correct area. Bush and Cheney’s Wars for Money have not aided American safety, despite the innocents they’ve gleeful sent to their deaths overseas. Try to look past your stilted Republican worship and brainwashed Obama is the Islamo-Hitler buffoonery…
Well, then, Gene, I’ll bite: what’s your solution? Everyone wants answers. What’s yours?

Like all religions, islam is an evil ideology which perverts mankind’s thinking and morality.
Hasan seems to be an islamic terrorist. He deserves the death penalty.
But, the Death Penalty has often been used improperly and on false pretenses throughout history, witches and heretics were once thought the bane of man…
islam deserves no respect but while I can state this blatant truth leaders of society need to play the great game of diplomacy because of the childish religious beliefs still infecting the human race, hence Bush’s and Obama’s deference to islamic leaders (a fact which the Extremist Right seems to ignore in Bush’s case and castigate Obama savagely)
The issue with all wars though is location. No Chechen Black Widows are launching massive suicide school massacres in America because we aren’t occupying “their” lands.
Invading Iraq and continuing the phony Afghan War aren’t making America safer. Leave the are and let the people there squabble over the dirt perhaps provide them aid but keeping the US military in Afghanistan to defend the corrupt US puppet Karzai Regime and protect American Corporations isn’t a proper use of the military, although the US military has historically always been used to open markets for a small cadre of men to plunder.
And that is what the Bush Wars are; the use of the US government to enrich, mainly, Republicans and their cronies and families, greasing their bank accounts with the blood of Marines.
Okay, now this is better; a discourse.
First, I submit it isn’t only the GOP getting “rich” on wars; factually the Dems have more millionaires on their side.
However, stepping back a bit, what should the response have been to 9/11 and how should that have been carried out and what should the continuing posture of the US have been regarding Islamists, then?
BZ
Afghanistan should have been dealt with via Getting and Letting. (Getting In, Getting Bin Laden, Getting Out, Letting the “Afghans” figure out the rest) while providing them aid.
It seems the entire push to invade Iraq was not because Iraq actually posed an eminent danger to America but because of it’s strategic location in the ME.
While I was in, I believed President Bush and Cheney in their “the smoking gun, a mushroom cloud” and “simply stated there can be no doubt Iraq has WMD”.
I knew we would be there so I reasoned they couldn’t be lying. Yet others did not agree and within 6 months of the invasion and the Callous Bush rhetoric “Nope no weapons here” and “Bring em on”, (as an aside even if you believe you can kill someone in a fight to the death you don’t broadcast it to them) underscored Bush’s ignorance of the situation and disregard to American lives.
The lives lost in Iraq felt wasted. Saddam was an evil man but when I joined the Corps I took an oath to defend the American Constitution not the Iraqi one…
A friend labeled the Iraq War thusly, War to realign the Middle East to conform to American business and military interests, by simultaneously protecting Israel and Saudi Arabia, placing a puppet regime in Iraq with which to gain access to their oil reserves and possessing force projection ability towards both Syria and Iran…
But, the thing that really irritates me are the Chicken Hawk Warmongers who propounded the need to go to war and that the lives lost were acceptable, getting Saddam was not worth ONE SINGLE AMERICAN life, while the Chicken Hawks have no desire or courage to every put their flabby pampered fat asses into harms way or to shit in a hole in the desert after not having showered for 6 weeks…
