November 10, 2009 Liberal terror at Fort Hood: Hasan could be misjudged
In an amazing twist of irony, Obama said we must wait for the facts before jumping to conclusions about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. How many more “facts” does Obama need about Hasan?
Many so-called journalists of the mainstream seem to be more concerned about not offending Islam than expressing outrage and mourning the deaths of the following 13 service members, one of whom (Francheska Velez) was with child: CAPT. JOHN GAFFANEY 56, San Diego MICHAEL GRANT CAHILL 62, Cameron, Texas MAJ. LIBARDO EDUARDO CARAVEO 52, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico STAFF SGT. JUSTIN M. DECROW 32, Evans, Ga. SPC. FREDERICK GREENE 29, Mountain City, Tenn. SPC. JASON DEAN HUNT 22, Frederick, Okla. SGT. AMY KRUEGER 29, Kiel, Wis. PFC. AARON THOMAS NEMELKA 19, West Jordan, Utah PFC. MICHAEL PEARSON 21, Bolingbrook, Ill. CAPT. RUSSELL SEAGER 51, Mount Pleasant, Wis. PVT. FRANCHESKA VELEZ 21, Chicago LT. COL. JUANITA WARMAN 55, Pittsburgh PFC. KHAM XIONG 23, St. Paul, Minn. Of all the ridiculous statements made by journalists in reference to the terror at Ft. Hood, the one made by Martha Raddatz and passed on by Diane Sawyer is among the most offensive: Cryptically, ABC's senior foreign affairs correspondent, Martha Raddatz, concluded a story on reaction at Fort Hood: “As for the suspect, Nadal Hasan, as one officer's wife told me, 'I wish his name was Smith.'” Sawyer clarified that the mystery woman wished the killer’s name had been Smith “so no one would have a reflexive question about that.” That is, a reflexive question about whether Hasan was conducting a personal jihad against the U.S. military. In context of 13 unarmed Americans having been gunned down in uniform in cold blood, the level of suspension of disbelief necessary to accept the “mystery wife” account is too high for me. Put another way, I don’t believe a word of the Martha Raddatz tale. Normal Americans don’t worry about falsely stereotyping a man after he shouts, “Allahu Akbar” and launches a bloody rampage against fellow Americans. Yet we are to believe that as the wife’s fellow patriots lay dead and wounded her thoughts were directed to political correctness; exclaiming that she wished the killer’s name was “Smith.” I’m sure the mystery wife had some names for Hasan all right; but I doubt that “Smith” was one of them. I believe the “officer’s wife” quote was a clever, unverifiable way to affirm the politically correct fears of the left. Currently, the story can’t be fact checked unless every officer’s wife at Fort Hood is interviewed. Please prove me wrong Ms. Raddatz and provide her name. |
