Pretty much nails it!

Spot on......

From the article:

On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting "Allahu Akbar!" committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.

What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.

This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it’s an act of terror. Period.

When the terrorist posts anti-American hate-speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as "Palestinian" in a Muslim spouse-matching program, and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit — well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an "Islamist terrorist."

But the president won’t. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there’s no such thing as "Islamist terrorism" in ObamaWorld.

And the Army won’t. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America-haters is safer than calling terrorism "terrorism."

And the media won’t. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops — despite their crocodile tears.

Maj. Nadal Malik Hasan planned this terrorist attack and executed it in cold blood. The resulting massacre was the first tragedy. The second was that he wasn’t killed on the spot.

Hasan survived. Now the rest of us will have to foot his massive medical bills. Activist lawyers will get involved, claiming "harassment" drove him temporarily insane. There’ll be no end of trial delays. At best, taxpayer dollars will fund his prison lifestyle for decades to come, since our politically correct Army leadership wouldn’t dare pursue or carry out the death penalty.

Maj. Hasan will be a hero to Islamist terrorists abroad and their sympathizers here. While US Muslim organizations decry his acts publicly, Hasan will be praised privately. And he’ll have the last laugh.

If all their articles were that good I might even subscribe...  Much better than giving them my money in a bailout...

I do suggest that if you agree with the quoted portions of the article that you at least follow the link.  I am sure the post tracks hits per article.  Put enough hits on the good articles may help them understand.

Every once in a while, the NY Post has a decent article.  Generally, at least in the Northeast, it's considered pretty much a sensationalist rag of a paper.  Actually, there isn't a newspaper in the Northeast that I've read on a regular basis in 25 years!

They're all rags...

Tim, WSJ seems to be fairly unbiased. Another thing, in NY the Times is for the bird cage and the Post is better, in Washington it's the opposite, the Post is the liberal fish wrap and the Times is less biased.

I watched Peters on O'Reillly, and Fox & Friends on Sat. morning, and his candor, tone, and UN- PC statements, held nothing back.

He does not mince words, and in this case I think he is not wrong.

Someone or some group got to Hasan. Internet, Imam's, whatever.. something in his mind, justified his actions.

The statements by the "investigators", that the "motives" are unclear are becoming too PC.

Dianne Sawyer wishes his name was Smith,...

Having read their book, I see no way a Muslim can abide by his mandated beliefs and at the same time be a patriotic US soldier. Just cannot be done. The act of joining is for training. It is called infiltration.

This was NOT an act of terrorism.









It was a man-made disaster.  We must be PC here.

Path, put it best in another post.

More to the point, the koran is clear on the treatment of infidels - kill them all, kill what you can, and Mohammed and Allah will be pleased and you will be blessed. There is no amount of sugar-coating by CAIR or its minions in gummint that can change that. So this is not an individual case of a sociopath, although that claim could be made against all of islam. When you are raised that way, taught to do kill those not like you (and that applies to Sunni if you're Shi'a and vice versa), you cannot claim a psychological disorder - it is an inherrent part of you.


Brilliant!!
