No Shiz Sherlock – TIME finally confronts the Muslim issue.
As officials continue to investigate the alleged Fort Hood killer, it is looking increasingly likely that the Army missed several red flags in Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s behavior.
But one officer who attended the Pentagon’s medical school with Hasan disagrees. “He was very vocal about being a Muslim first and holding Sharia law above the Constitution,” this officer recalled. When fellow students asked, “How can you be an officer and hold to the Constitution?,” the officer said, Hasan would “get visibly upset — sweaty and nervous — and had no good answers.” This medical doctor would only speak anonymously because his commanders have ordered him not to talk about Hasan, he said.
Complaints came and went.
“It was a systemic problem — the same thing was happening at Walter Reed,” the Army Medical Center several miles away, where Hasan was working as a psychiatrist.
A retired four-star officer says that, based on the evidence gleaned so far, it was Hasan’s career that should have been cut short. “They could have given — him a dishonorable discharge and said what he’s doing works against good order and discipline,” said the general, who also requested anonymity. But rather than any preferential treatment given to Hasan because of his religion, “My guess is he fell through the cracks,” the general said.
What hit Time? I am mad as hell…enough with the political correctness that is swallowing our country.
WHY is this administration holding back important documentation on Hasan?
“Over the past 24 hours, I have been made aware of information from the intelligence community that suggests the possibility that serious issues exist with respect to the performance of U.S. intelligence agencies in connection with what appears to have been a terrorism-related attack on Fort Hood, Texas by Nidal Malik Hasan,” Hoekstra wrote. “I am disappointed that the administration has not been more transparent with the American people.

They did not miss the red flags.
They buried the red flags knowing full well what they were.

agreed

They didn’t “miss” the red flags, they just didn’t do anything.

al awlaki has long been theorized to be cia–I have heard him described as cia for years; plainly hasan does not know any real terrorists or even how to freaking use google, else he would have known this too.
What do you want to bet the cia and military were just seeing who else the pos communicated with to see how many wanna be jihadis they could rope in, or even hoping for a rampage like this to drum up support for the Afghanistan war?
the military could have discharged him at any freaking time.

The military had to meet their quotas. Sick Nom, just sick.
November 11, 2009 at 9:11 PM
The facts are that both the US intelligence and the military knew what he was capable of doing and yet he was not dismissed from service but rather monitored.
I do not buy the quota rationale: the military has plenty of laws which all say he should have been discharged.
Any talk of quotas is a distraction.

I’ll take a chance and say those folks are Hasan’s BFFs. Geez, this gives new meaning to “going Muslim.”
