At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.
FORT HOOD, Texas – The top commander at Fort Hood is crediting a civilian police officer for stopping the shooting rampage that killed 13 people at the Texas post (see: Active Shooters & Getting the Word Out — BZ).
Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said Friday that Fort Hood police Sgt. Kimberly Munley and her partner responded within three minutes of reported gunfire Thursday afternoon. Cone said Munley shot the gunman four times despite being shot herself.
Officials said Munley was in stable condition.
Cone said, “It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer.”
It should be noted that Sgt. Munley (left, above) faced a military shooter who, unbeknownst to her at the time, carried a FN FiveseveN autopistol, loaded with 20-round mags of 5.7X28mm. The 5.7mm round is rather rare in the handgun world; not a commonly encountered calibre. It is a very high velocity handgun round said to have the capability to penetrate the military PASGT helmet and defeat most all Kevlar/composite vests, military and civilian.
Barack Hussein Obama may feel that we are not at war with Islam, but I don’t think Islam got the message. The attacks of 9-11 were carried out by Muslims. The attack on the USS Cole was carried out by Muslims. The attack on Marine Barracks Beirut was carried out by Muslims. Many more attacks, not nearly enough room to post them…
Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan – The tale of the tape so far
carried a FN FiveseveN autopistol
So much for the cousin’s claim that his now infamous cuz “didn’t even like to go to the target practice.”
I watched Shep Smith and Kay Bailey Hutchison make fools of themselves yesterday. The shooter’s name was out from the AP, Reuters and ABC. Smith would not release it. Hutchison solemnly praised Smith for his responsible handling of the case.
At one point, Smith said to Hutchison: I have the name of the shooter, Senator, and it reveals a lot, doesn’t it.” THEN a local radio reporter came on and said, well you don’t want to reveal the name, so I will not do so, but he was a Virginia man who converted to Islam.”
So even though she was wrong, she gave away the story that everyone knew anyway.
I notice that Obama asked us all not to “jump to conclusions-” Too bad he wasn’t wise enough to think that through when he accused the Cambridge police of being stupid.
TF: I, like, you am beginning to suspect the overall Islamic world is buying off on the ROB — Rhetoric Of Obama.
Maggie: let me put it this way: you don’t choose a FN FiveseveN because you’re IGnorant of weapons; you choose it because you KNOW of its effectiveness. It is a very RAREly encountered pistol with a very RAREly encountered chambering.

TF: sorry, typo; I mean NOT buying off.

Texas Fred is right on target, pun intended.
I about choked when I watched a French newscast of PBS this evening because the French media is making the connection and mocked Obama for not doing so.
That’s right people, let’s all continue to support the “Islam is no threat to world peace” bandwagon. Islam, the religion of peace, tolerance and acceptance, with the ultimate respect and admiration for women.

O.K. let’s see how hard this must be for the media to figure out: He went to the processing center where our men were headed to kick extremist Isalmists behinds and Hasan killed 12 of our men. Why? so they wouldn’t go and kill his Muslim brothers. If he were just plain nuts as the media says then he would have shot anyone and everyone that was there, not just those in the processing center. He yelled Allahu Akhbar before he struck, and he is a very faithful Muslim. What more do we need to call a spade a spade?
TexasFred: And the illegal attack on Iraq based on lies was carried out by Christians.
