Thoughts on the Treason at Fort Hood

Last Thursday, Army pyschologist, Major Malik Nidal Hasan yelled "Allahu Akbar" and starting shooting fellow Army personnel at Fort Hood, Texas. All totaled, 13 were killed and 38 were wounded.

Military has become politicized. Diversity is now a strategic imperitive. Despite knowing that he had tried to contact Al-Qaeda, the intelligence services did nothing (ABC News). Hasan previously attended a radical mosque that included two 9/11 hijacker alumni.

The military cannot carry guns on base. Why not? They are all trained responsible people. What's the downside? The unarmed military personnel at the base had to wait until cops got there. How many people could have been saved had everyone been armed?

Meanwhile the media is trying to say he was a lone crazy. The big story has become that Muslims fear an anti-Muslim backlash. They don't want to deal with the real story of removing other potential radicals from the military and dealing with CAIR.
