Retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West: “It is What it is.” — And what it is is Islamic Jihad.
Leave it to an old Soldier to be frank without concern for the political correctness that blinds our MSM (and our President) from the truth:
We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the stress of the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.
This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is, an Islamic jihadist attack. . . .
What we see are recalcitrant leaders who are refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.
Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood, matter of fact he should have been Chaptered from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been proof positive…
And via The Other McCain:
UPDATE: ABC News reports:
U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
But don’t start “jumping to conclusions” or anything.

What actually killed these 13 people? Well, MAJ Hasan pulled the trigger, so it’s his fault.
And, they were casualties in Islam’s ongoing war against the West, so it’s also Islam’s fault.
But also, these 13 people were killed by political correctness. This article claims (and I believe it) that Hasan’s coworkers saw the warning signs, but were afraid to report him, because they thought that they would be labeled “bigots”. And they are right; if they had reported him, nothing would have happened to Hasan, but they would have gotten into trouble for “discrimination”. And in today’s military, being accused of discrimination is a career-ender.
Finally, if you read the article, the first thing you notice is that it’s from an Israeli news site. It’s a sad state of affairs when we have to go to foreign sources for reliable information about events in the U.S.
