Obama: It’s difficult enough to lose soldiers overseas, ‘horrifying’ to see their lives taken on U.S. Army base.
A shooting at the Ft. Hood Army Base in Texas earlier this afternoon has claimed the lives of 12 people and wounded at least 31 others. The suspected gunman — Major Nidal Malik Hasan — was shot to death is alive and in stable condition, while “two other soldiers were in custody.” President Obama called the Fort Hood shootings a “horrific outburst of violence.” “It is difficult enough to lose” soldiers overseas, he said, but it is “horrifying that they should lose their lives at an Army base in the U.S.” (Watch his remarks here.)
Update On Fox News, Shep Smith reported that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) and others told him that the officer was “very upset” about a “pending deployment to the war zones in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.” A Hutchison spokesman tells a Texas newspaper the same thing.
Update Politico reports, "Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison told Fox News she had learned the dead shooter was scheduled for deployment to Iraq, and 'I think that there was some measure of being upset about that.'"
Update ABC News' Brian Ross described Major Malik Nidal Hassan as a convert to Islam. Contrary to prior reports, Hasan has "always been Muslim" and is not a recent convert. In a statement, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said:
We condemn this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law. No religious or political ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence. The attack was particularly heinous in that it targeted the all-volunteer army that protects our nation. American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens in offering both prayers for the victims and sincere condolences to the families of those killed or injured.

This is awful. Obama is right. The last couple of weeks have been the deadliest in Afghanistan, and now this. I tired of our Soldiers dying.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:34 pmMy sympathy to the loved ones of those lost in this senseless act of violence. I hope that the wounded recover. Ft. Hood may be the largest Army base in the U.S., but it’s also a community, and this has got to affect the people who work there deeply.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:36 pmTruly a sad, sad event… My heart goes out to the families and loved ones …
Totally off topic

Sarah plain and simple is avoiding most of the country and only going to repugnant strongholds on her book tour.
My condolences to the familes of the Fallen, and my sympathies and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:42 pmA very sad event… I, like everyone else I believe, am wondering just who these murderers were and what brought them to this?
November 5th, 2009 at 5:44 pmMen become soldiers knowing that facing death is a part of the job. I don’t think they expect to find it on their home base, however. I hope that the wounded and grieving find healing, and that the perpetrators are brought to justice.

____________________________________________________________
Just STFU. Not everybody exploits a tragedy to benefit their agenda of bigotry. We don’t know yet what the motive was for the shooting. So can we now just be concerned for the injured and the families of the dead until we get more information?
November 5th, 2009 at 5:44 pmDoes anyone know if it was just soldiers or civilians? My God, This is just so upsetting. They are in my prayers.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:46 pmI remember when a crazed gunman opened fire at Virginia Tech and killed a lot of people. The wingnuts claimed that tragedy could have been avoided if the Virginia Tech students were armed to the teeth.
At Fort Hood, people have guns. Some of the dead were SWAT team members. How, pray tell, do the gun nuts think this could have been avoided with more firepower?
November 5th, 2009 at 5:48 pmP.D. I believe all of the dead and wounded were soldiers.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:48 pmAnd here’s another heartbreaking story of an ex-soldier back from his third tour of Iraq getting shot by police during a violent incident involving domestic violence.
Not condoning the violence, but this guy was seriously screwed up.
Thanks, Bush.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:49 pmLake Stevens man killed by police was Iraq veteran
P.D. I think they were all soldiers, except for one civilian policeman. The general reported that they have their own MPs and employ contract police as well.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:49 pmPD,
Apparently this took place in a readiness area of the base, where soldiers were taking care of last minute things before deploying overseas.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:51 pmThe suspected gunman — Major Malik Nadal Hasan — was shot to death
– - Oh geeze, the wingnuts will have a field day linking the President’s name with this guy’s.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:53 pmMissmolly,
November 5th, 2009 at 5:53 pmI absolutely forgot about that – thanks for the reminder. I do recall the number of people who said all faculty and students should be armed.
This was certainly proof that weapons for everyone would not be a deterrent – and the proponents of that asinine suggestion would have armed inexperienced and untrained individuals, who would be reacting to an incident.
badmoonman,
November 5th, 2009 at 5:55 pmmy thoughts too.
Another part of the insanity of war. Peace to the families of all those dead and wounded (both physically and emotionally).
November 5th, 2009 at 5:56 pmImagine the feeling of other soldiers who will be worried now if their fellow soldier might attack them.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:58 pmThe Pentagon is more worried about gays in the military!
Few really cared or even paid attention to the fact that our soldiers have come home with little medical care and no jobs. Yes we hear the ” We Support Our Troops” but it’s lip service. Few cared that over 8 years our troops got little supplies, no bullet proof vest, had to pay for their meals and cleaning, families living in the streets and so much more. Yes the Media gives one person or two that get help but the thousands are left out. This sitution would end quickly if President Obama open the draft and those who supporting the War had to see their love ones die based on Bush/Cheney’s lies. Look at the Protesters March Against Health Care today as they are more then willing to let our troops and their families have no Health Care. I pray Obama gives these soldiers real help and their families and not just continued lip service. I had to pay for my daughters bullet proof vest while she was sent to combat and not one Law Maker cared as other Military Families had to do the same.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:58 pmThe suicide rate for the army just surpassed that of the civilian population. These multiple deployments to combat zones are not the norm, though it seems to be taken for granted as such. Rather than have the draft, I’d rather we just pulled out and resolved to solve our problems by other means.
November 5th, 2009 at 6:09 pmIn memory of Noor Almaleki says:
I can’t wait for the CAIR news conference condemning this outrage!
There you go. Happy now?
November 5th, 2009 at 6:14 pmI’m thinking it’s time for TP to ban Noor.

November 5th, 2009 at 6:14 pmWhat a horrible, horrible tragedy…

Or how about the warmongers and their families have to be drafted in the first round and cannot leave military service until the war is over. There will be less call for military intervention then.
November 5th, 2009 at 6:17 pmAnd Obama is right. This should be a clue to the lawmakers to those who are less concern on what is happening to the soldiers in this country in Afghanistan or the ones that are leaving to Afghanstan that are suffering from mental and emotional problem of dealing with this war. It is time to pull out of Afghanistan and let the Afghan government take care of their country. The suicide rate for the soldiers has increased more than ever. And that is why the passing the healthcare reform is important to the American people and the soldiers as the soldiers that are coming back from these two wars need medical help.
On a side note: If Obama suggest a draft, watch how many of the GOP lawmakers oppose it as the draft would include their children to go to Afghanistan or Iraq.

FOX claims that Major Malik Nadal Hasan – the gunman – is reportedly a ‘mental health professional’
( i know.. here I am taking the word of FOX.. but the idea of him working in mental health seems credible because it’s nothing that fits into their type of spin)
If he worked in some degree in psychiatry.. then the most likely motive really would be stress.. that he truly just lost it.. but details are definitely sketchy at this point.

Put down the gun you’re aiming at us and stand with us in denouncing this attack.
November 5th, 2009 at 6:27 pmLiberalslayer.. different than you we deal in facts.
No liberal has any interest in painting the idea that this was because of the Right Wing.. or any other conspiracy.. because as I said – we deal in facts.
We are against the wars because we give a shit about the government sending troops to their death without good reason – such as WMD’s that don’t exist – and daddy Bush’s vendetta versus Saddam.
There are many differences between the liberals and conservatives.. the right will put troops in harms way without justification being just one of them.
Your view of our outlook is very distorted.

The Army says they don’t think it was a terrorist attack, and people in the community don’t either. But, naturally, bigots like LiberalSlayer immediately leap to one conclusion based on the man’s religion–idiots like this always know more than the people actually there.
November 5th, 2009 at 6:47 pmMs Mollie/Marie: Those soldiers had no more access to weapons than the students at Virginia Tech. Other than MPs and civilian contractor police, the only time ANY soldier is in possession of a weapon is either on the range or in combat. But I do agree that to suggest students be armed is no answer to these tragedies either.

November 5th, 2009 at 6:57 pmLiberalSlayer says:
LOL! Attack the NRA while you’re at it! Yeah, there should be no guns on military bases, eh kook??
So they weren’t unarmed civilians and therefore couldn’t have been a terrorist attack, per definition, but an attack on armed forces of the USA.
But I’m betting more on this being a military shrink losing his own marbles after trying to counsel a lot of PTSD’d soldiers.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:01 pmLiberalslayer: You pussy, coward STFU
November 5th, 2009 at 7:04 pmDon’t tell me, Libs… every soldier with a ‘Mooselimb’ name just needs ‘understanding’ like all those Islamo-fascist terrorists you wanted us not to harm in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It seems you forget all the media repeating what D&D said about going into Iraq to free the oppressed from a brutal dictator? The purple fingers? The Chalabi parade of roses we as liberators would be seeing soon?
November 5th, 2009 at 7:06 pmGood god, the shooter attended Virginia Tech, home of another shooting spree.
Things are pretty bad when a psychiatrist starts shooting.

November 5th, 2009 at 7:30 pmIf the shooter is indeed a mental health worker who has been working with soldiers with PTSD, this action is not that surprising. If he did his job, he would have vicariously experienced the trauma of his patients and needed to be monitored for PTSD himself. Of course, that takes resources.
There is no word strong enough to express the sadness of this. People like LiberalSlayer who exploit this are pathetic.

It appears that there was one lone gunman.

And there were no Islamo-terrorists in Iraq before we invaded and opened up the country to them. This is a big reason why people like me opposed the invasion. OBL hated the secular Saddam because he was doing such a good job of suppressing the Islamic fanatics.
Like missmolly, I also thought “well, this proves that arming everyone does not prevent such things”.

Whatever caused this man to commit such an act, now is the time to grieve with the families of the victims, not a time to spread sick hatred. You reap what you sow LS, the hatred you show for your fellow man may someday return to you ten times over, as you demonize others who have different beliefs, another may do the same to you.

Here’s my point. You guys know that our troops are under intense stress constantly completing war tours, therefore, why aren’t you chastising Obama for not removing the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan? The soldiers can only take so much!

Supporting his increase of troops! Obama’s comment proves that he plans to remain in Afghanistan and Iraq. Sad!
You asked “why aren’t you chastising Obama for not removing the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.”
I asked you, “What makes you think we haven’t? Did someone tell you that?” I did not add the part about the date time stamp and the karma voting. You did that in your simple-minded inability to copy and paste properly.
And then you said something that in no way answers my question as to why you think we haven’t been chastising Obama.

After learning what I have today about the futility of presenting those who will not see the truth that contradicts what they firmly believe, a decent amount of respect demands that I make at least one attempt.
We are not at war with Islam. (Or Muslims, if you prefer.)
We have deployed our troops in Afghanistan (originally) to fight against those who orchestrated the attacks of 9/11, based on the erroneous belief that this is where they were. Then, our then-Commander-in-Chief illegally diverted funds that Congress had authorized for fighting in Afghanistan to begin the eventual invasion of Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. (Another fact of which some people refuse to be convinced, according to that same study I read about.)
We were not fighting a religion, we were fighting people who committed horrific crimes against us. I personally believe that fighting them through the use of overwhelming military force is a doomed strategy, but I do not command our troops. There have been many mass murderers throughout history who were not Muslim, but their have been far, far too many murdered in the name of a religion. That does not mean that all people who practice that religion are potential enemies. Just the ones who would use their religion as an excuse to use violence to resolve their disputes. No matter what that religion was.

November 5th, 2009 at 10:04 pm9/11 ring any bells? They were muslims.
They were also men. Are we at war with all the men in the world?
What a stupid reason. Try again.
November 5th, 2009 at 10:08 pmI have to go to bed now. Good night, everyone.
dbadass, he’s all yours. Have a good time. :)
November 5th, 2009 at 10:21 pmTake care Wayne.
November 5th, 2009 at 10:30 pmI don’t know what it is but they seem to be willing to talk to everyone but me. I wonder why that is….
And what is the topic? Is it the one where you explain why you just drop by to beg for negative attention by posting random flame bs? If it isn’t please tell me what the topic is and we can discuss it. K?
November 5th, 2009 at 10:33 pmRemember you have the power. Now see if you can find the nerve…
November 5th, 2009 at 10:34 pmThe topic is muslim terrorists killing here in America.
– Okay so would you like to present your thesis relative to the topic?
November 5th, 2009 at 10:39 pmNo you just chose to ignore it. Mine was the one about the possibility that you might be insincere. Since I was gracious enough to allow you the choice of topic I just sort of assumed you had an opinion as to muslim terrorists killing here in America.Is it safe to assume your thesis is….
muslim terrorists killing here in America = bad
November 5th, 2009 at 10:45 pmI can’t explain to you anyone killing anyone as a good thing. You seem to harbor inner turmoil.

You seemed to be disagreeing with this. Nuff said. Now, I’m done w/you because my massage therapist will be here soon and I need to get ready. ;)
George Bush’s buddies FINANCED the Al Queda TERRORISTS who did 9/11.
I hope you end up for ETERNITY with Bush, the Cheneys and TRAITOR Ronnie Reagan, along with their MASTER Satan.
Now, I’M done with YOU, TRAITOR.
November 5th, 2009 at 11:07 pmTurns out that he was HARRASSED by other soldiers for being Muslim.
If he got any of THEM, I’d say they got what they ASKED FOR.
November 5th, 2009 at 11:09 pmBURN for ETERNITY, TRAITOR Ronnie…

Yep, you’re a progressive!
Yup, YOU’RE a supporter of Bush’s TREASON, including 9/11…
November 5th, 2009 at 11:14 pmHyperventilate,
Isn’t it true that none of the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqi, Afghan, or Iranian? We are not at war with 1.3 Billion Muslims. You certainly do not know it was premeditated.
November 5th, 2009 at 11:18 pmWe are not at war with Pakistan. They have nuclear weapons. That’s where al Qaeda are. They financed 9/11.
Tired talk.
