If you want an accurate accounting of an event, it needs to come directly from the person involved. It is appalling to listen to someone else’s regurgitated version of an event. If there are any survivors to listen to, and if you have paid attention to their account of what happened, you will instinctively know when someone else is working toward altering an event that actually did happen to another. Such as the case of Fort Hood.
The survivors at Fort Hood have clearly stated that Major Hasan jumped up, yelled “Allah Akbar” and started shooting.
Obama’s administration immediately started altering the events at Fort Hood on numerous levels. A picture is being painted that Major “Nut Job” had no money, drove an old car, was picked on, was under stress and someone had removed his bumper sticker…so we shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions. Well, boo-hoo.
The families of Fort Hood had not even buried their loved ones, nor had several of the survivors been released from the hospital or the bandages removed from those that had their flesh torn apart from the violence, before this administration used its influence to suppress and prevent the word Muslim and terrorist from being used in the same sentence.
The current administration has used unprecedented harsh vocal criticism of senior citizens, insurance companies, CEO’s, corporate America and medicine (including physicians). Hasan killed thirteen people and wounded 30 others, including police…but the administration won’t use the name “terrorist”? This is very disturbing.
