Nidal Hasan’s calling card explained

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 9, 2009 12:50 PM

“SOA” stands for Soldiers of Allah. “SWT” is a related Muslim acronym: Pamela Geller explains another red flag ignored.

Related: David Horowitz diagnoses Gen. Casey’s p.c. debilitation.

You have to view this segment of the Meet the Press interview with Army chief of staff General George Casey to believe it — to believe that our army could be led by someone as incompetent in national security matters as this man showed he was, first by claiming that the army hadn’t “missed anything” in regard to the in-your-face warning signs exhibited by Major Hasan that he was a fanatical Muslim jihadist and an imminent threat to massacre our troops, by admitting that the army’s diversity policies had trumped its security policies, and worst of all by making this statement: ‘As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.’”

Once again: Political correctness is the handmaiden of terror.

    How is it that muslims have no problem killing other muslims when one middle eastern country wages war against another (Iran-Iraq war), sunni against shia and don’t forget the honor killings? Political correctness is allowing this religion of hypocrisy and perpetual outrage to hide behind racism when criticized.

    Casey’s constant drone about avoiding a backlash this weekend sickens me nearly as much as Hasan’s actions. There is no evidence of a backlash. If we cannot identify and root out radical Islamists among us then we are defeated. The leader of the Army does not sound like a man that understands this. I suspect he takes marchign orders from the CiC

    I don’t know if one of your other posts has this, but ABCNews is reporting (via Drudge) that Major Hasan made contact with or attempted to make contact with Al Qaeda and our intelligence apparatus knew about it.

    If our “homeland security” department could take some time out from trying to classify political opponents as extremists and our President could take some time out from borrowing spending money from our kids and apologizing to our enemies and actually “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States”, it would sure be appreciated.

    To borrow a quote from former AZ Cardinals coach Denny Green, “they (Obama administration) are who were thought they were”-

    The phone rings at 3 a.m. with a terror attack, and their response is “whatever, just don’t blame Muslims”. It rings at 3 a.m. and it’s his hand-picked General calling for more troops or risk failure, and his response is “lemme see how the elections work out in a month or two” (as if there’s a different plan for a different Afghan leader?).

    The lack of qualified leadership here is dangerous.

    Don’t be islamophobic-The mohammedan Doctor Heal-eth his charges with the Koran. As long as our valiant dead died in the name of Diversity, Tolerance and Covering Their Own Butts we can not be islamophobic. When the Dinosaur Media and PC crowd jumped the to defense of the Flying imans, down played the Beltway snipper’s mohammedan connection and bought into the Religion of Peace crap we know this was coming.

    If this Soldier of Allah is given the death penalty and actually is executed some justice will be served. But I fear all kinds of Leftist will jump to his defense and turn the trial into an America bashing event. After all the punk did suffer from PrePostTramaticStress. I doubt there are many doctors anywhere who do not see horrible things everyday-disease, accidents, abuse. But then mohammedan doctors are often terrorist from Scotland to the Khyber pass to Fort Hood.

    George Bush, Christianity and American jingoism did it.

    This is exactly why the Oath Keepers exist. General Casey is one of millions who took the same obligation to defend the US Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. If he can be so easily derailed from exercising good judgment on such a slam-dunk situation, how can we trust his judgment were he ordered by the government to send troops to invade the homes of Americans guilty of nothing more but having registered guns or other political purpose? That is the very point of the Oath Keepers (very radical group those Oath Keepers).

    Also, exactly what is the rule that excludes gays from openly serving in the military that doesn’t apply to ethnic groups whose religion has openly declared war against civilization? Which is the greater threat to troop morale? Wouldn’t it make sense for our weaselly generals and politicians to simply declare that all Muslims are gay and then ban them from the military?

    For freedom-loving Muslim-Americans, this PC attitude by American elites is going eventually to cost them their freedom if they don’t police their own ranks in a convincingly conspicuous manner.

    Keeping an eye on the real terrorists (that would be you).

    Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”

    Maybe if Janet Napolitano hadn’t been spending so much time scrutinizing “tea-bag people” she could have connected the dots on the worst domestic terrorism since 9/11.

    Just found the article on the New York Post. Retired Col. Ralph Peters said:
    We made one great mistake regarding Guantanamo: No terrorist should have made it that far. All but a handful of those grotesquely romanticized prisoners should have been killed on the battlefield.
    The few kept alive for their intelligence value should have been interrogated secretly, then executed.
    Terrorists don’t have legal rights or human rights. By committing or abetting acts of terror against the innocent, they place themselves outside of humanity’s borders. They must be hunted as man-killing animals.

    On a side note, this is all amazing considering all military installations are non-armory gun free zones. So, just like a school campus, if a nut starts shooting there is no recourse other than the shooter running out of ammunition or wating forever for the calvary to show up. Because when seconds count the MPs are only minutes away.

    We have to replace homeland security with its earlier concept, civil defense. During World War II, civil defense was every American’s responsibility, not just a group of bureaucrats trying to look professional. “Loose lips sink ships” was a popular civil defense aphorism.

    In the present circumstances, enlisted personnel should be encouraged to contact outside outlets over their suspicions if the chain of command is bottled up by dolts like Gen. Casey.

    Hasan is BIG example of the PC, social engineering experiment that the military, and especially the Army, has become. I would love to ask Gen. Casey how it’s working out for the Army accepting any and anyone who hasn’t graduated high school, done drugs, or has a rap sheet. The “good” general is willfully blind because he’s paid to be good little political general. I’m beginning to think that some Lt. and full bird colonels are not far behind him in that regard.

    It is pretty obvious that Hasan couldn’t spell but that he wasn’t that talented a shrink. He was out and out proselytizing his patients and arguing with them over the war. What military shrink would do such a thing? He should have been discharged a long time ago.

    No, I think Hasan, like many in the military medical corps and JAG, use the military (AKA the taxpayer) to fund their schooling and do the least amount of “mediocre” service in the military before they can get out. It’s too bad that dupes like Casey, Gates, Schwartz (of the Air Force) don’t have the slightest clue the huge amount of losers and users that now “serve” in the military.

    For people like Hasan, who showed early signs that their military service wasn’t a priority, the military is the only way to get ahead. Unfortunateley, there are many people like Hasan in the military who will never understand or adhere to the following motto: “service before self.” They just don’t have it in them.

    While in Australia at the beginning of the Afghanistan conflict, the families of Australian servicemen and women actually protested when those servicemen and women were sent off to war, claiming “They didn’t join the military to actually have to fight.” I’m sure our military has more than its share of useless hangers-on and other non-contributing deadwood, just like most branches of any government you can care to point to.

    But there’s no reason anti-American jihadist extremists should be tolerated. Hasan declared himself to be the enemy. He should have been shot (sooner).

    Believe me, I’m not leaving out the likes of people like Casey for who’s responsible for the current PC, social experimentation of the military. I’m not letting him, or any of the other political, Pentagon appointees off the hook.

    However, I’m not discounting how these same political appointees have enabled the likes of Hasan to serve in the military when they shouldn’t have. When someone like Hasan says he’s a Muslim before he’s an American that should have compelled his colleagues to lodge formal complaints as to his competency to serve in a position of trust like that of a military shrink.

    As a military spouse, I’ve seen how not only active duty personnel, but even the medical contractors have no business in positions of power like that. Not just because of their vociferous oposition to the wars, but their very bedside manners and personal behavior to suggest that they’re too imcompetent to put the military first.

    While most serve in the military for the right reasons, people like Hasan aren’t. I’m not saying that all Muslim servicemembers are like him, but I’m saying that the military has loosened restriction on who and who cannot join. This incident needs to be looked at, studied, and used to reexamine who and who cannot serve in matters of not only physical, but mental competence.

    As I recall, this was Markos Moulitsas’ (Mr Daily Kos) take on his military “service”. The military exists to give young people travel and cultural enlightenment, and provide them with training and funds for college. They should never be asked to shoot at someone.

    IndyRich,

    You mis-read my post. I was replying to Gen Casey claiming that it was more important to keep muslims in the military than it is for us to lose our “diversity” in the military.

    O/T but an interesting insight, via the NYT:

    Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens’s election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”

    As a Vietnam veteran, one can only hope that the Army brass at Ft. Hood have the decency to award the Purple Heart to each and every service person killed or injured in this horrific attack against U.S. troops by an armed islamic terrorist. The medals deserve to be pinned on the chests of these brave soldiers BEFORE they are buried.

    I always thought Ellison was a SOB, but now I’m wondering if Ellison is also a SoA??

    Islam has never had a reformation. The result is that it remains violent in its outlook and behavior. If you offend a Muslim in someway, and you are an infidel, then the Muslim feels that he has a right and even duty to kill you (as they do in many countries around the world). If, on the other hand, a Muslim offends any other religious person, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, HIndus, etc, then that is to be expected and tolerated. This can only lead to violence.

    Frankly, the constant federal government attempts to appease Islamic religious fanatics will lead to a world war as was the case when much of Europe appeased the NAZIs. Frankly, we don’t need Muslims in the military if we make it clear that Islamic games will not be tolerated and that discussions will be held on the basis of mutual respect not political correctness.

    If there is one thing these people respect it is force. They certainly do not respect any law other than that in the Koran.

    If it underwent anything remotely resembling a “reformation”, islam would simply have to cease to exist.

    You’re the Chief of Staff General in the United States Army! This blasphemer just ambushed over thirty of your troops leaving many of them dead and all you can think about is how the casualty of diversity would be worse than what he just did!!

    The ghost of General Patton is shouting, “WTF??!!!” Yes, WTF has become of our Army if the top brass cares more about “diversity” than the safety of its own soldiers.

    I know what a Patton, a Grant, or a Sherman would have done to root out the jihadis in the ranks. Because we don’t have men like that anymore, what I would do if I were a survivor or a family member is sue DOD for its negligence. If jihadists can’t get the Pentagon’s attention, maybe a bunch of lawyers will.

    PatriotRider, from your handle I will assume you are prior service military. Do you advocate arming the troops on every base? You obviously have never had to take a loaded pistol away from a drunk, depressed and angry Marine at the barracks at 2 am as the Duty NCO; I have and I can tell you it is a bad idea. The answer is to be VERY critical of those of Middle Eastern lineage- PC be damned. Just like regular crime, the answer is not new laws, it is prosecuting the existing laws without watering them down in order not to offend.

    Frankly speaking, if the Army cannot rid itself of elements like this then I fear the Republic is already terminal if not yet deceased.

    It is becoming increasingly obvious that many in authority knew what this guy was doing and simply did nothing. In the end, it doesn’t matter why they abrogated their duty to the service and the constitution. They knew what was going on and they did nothing. If the Army has come to this then no segment of the government can possibly do any better.

    This is not going to end well.
