Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told NBC’s “Today” show that suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, made the comment, which is Arabic for “God is great!” before the rampage Thursday that also left 30 people wounded.
Military officials say they are still piecing together what may have pushed Hasan, an Army psychiatrist trained to help soldiers in distress, to turn on his comrades.
Cone says Hasan was not known to be a threat or risk.
Hasan was shot four times during the rampage. Cone says he is hospitalized in stable condition and that military officials will interrogate him as soon as possible.
this guy was a terrorist no doubt about it even though the liberals in government will deny it.
just to show you you can’t trust anybody
Wow, what a surprise.
I could have sworn he said Shema or Sweet Jesus
It’s amazing at this time that they would employ such a person in the army. All the signs were there.It goes to show you, we can only trust Hashem.
he was a doctor, a physician. show him the respect he deserves.
please, lets not be ‘racists’ he just yelled ‘allah akbar’ because he’s a frum muslim.. but it has nothing to do with islam..just ask formally, PMO, Roberts. etc (you know ,those posters who always will hack on real ehliche yidden but will jump to the defense of every soine yisroel
I am waiting for the liberals, MSNBC and the like to start blaming Bush.
I guess Savage was the only 1 to see it right at the begining.. A pure terrorist atack by a muslim fanatic!!
Contrary to the belief among many Yidden that doctors are all wonderful people, this tragic event proves otherwise.
Yup – you guys got us – we Liberals are pro-terrorist, anti Americans who secretly kvel when American soldiers get murdered. Just don’t tell my son, my mother and my late father, all of whom served in the United Staes Army in wartime – nor the men I served with in the merchant marine. You folk are idiological zealots of a type that has nothing to do with Yiddishkeit. Idiots.
The liberals will still say there’s no problem of radical islam here in the US this guy was just a loner. Lets keep our heads buried deep in the sand.
FYI doctors joined the Nazi party at a greater percentage than any other profession. In addition many of the heads of the shootings squads in Germany
where very educated with double majors from college.
Education does not guarantee ethics or morals.
now another addition to this strange story, this muslim man who according to the news was originally three people then two then finally morphed into one, killed thirty people who turned out to be twelve then was himself shot and killed then brought back to life, now we learn he shouted allahu akbar before he did this?
Chill out everyone, #4 was obviously being sarcastic.
The question which has not been raised that here it seems a fanatical muslim has infiltrated the U.S. and are there others like him
My heart and prayers go out to all the victims family and friends.
From all the news reports it appears this Major is a career military man and that in his current position for less than a year and was not going well. He did not want to be deployed and in fact wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military student loans and hired an attorney.
The reason may have been that he was being harassed and called names like “camel jockey ”. I guess all that sensitivity training for those with bigotry tendencies are all for not. (Can training real change the way you were brought up?)
Another reason is called PTSD by proxy, the stress of treating PTSD in other soldiers make you go a little crazy yourself. Its even more stressful because most of the higher ranks don’t even believe in such thing as PTSD. Their denial prompts them to tell suffering soldiers to “drink it off.” Some civilians in the defense dept feel the same way no doubt IMO, it’s why hardly anything is mentioned of PTSD until one of these violent episodes occurs. These people see PTSD as a cop-out or an excuse. First we need to have an understanding that PTSD actually is real before we can ever hope to help treat it (does anyone believe that being shot at or killing your fellow man is not going to affect you in some way either then or in the future?). I guess with the high soldier suicide rate before and after deployment kinda takes care of the complaints from coming in (so those who said he should have just killed himself, well that’s already happening ). What real ticked me off when I heard that the military was trying to say that some soldiers coming back from this war with PTSD or other psychological disorders had “Pre-Existing Conditions” and that the military would not pay to treat them, I think it has been corrected but what a bunch of asses they break you and don’t want to pay.
The final issue is why does the military want to keep people in their ranks that no longer want to be there is it just sheer number? I mean is it ten percent, twenty percent. Is it that it is the only contract in the US that you can’t get out of unless to kill yourself or kill your fellow soldiers? It does not make any sense to me.
I guess the Major could just be another wacko like Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicholas, of course McVeigh was executed and apparently because Nicholas became a Christian he received a life sentenced. I real think if he gets that far the Major will get the former and not in a million years the latter.
This is so messed up, hopefully they will make some changes that make sense.
