Troubling portrait emerges of shooting suspect

His name appears on radical Internet postings. A fellow officer says he fought his deployment to Iraq and argued with soldiers who supported U.S. wars. He required counseling as a medical student because of problems with patients.

There are many unknowns about Nidal Malik Hasan, the man authorities say is responsible for the worst mass killing on a U.S. military base. Most of all, his motive. But details of his life and mindset, emerging from official sources and personal acquaintances, are troubling.

I’d seriously would like to know why the media is not telling us about this scum’s victims? I know one thing – he murdered 12 people, in cold blood, and wounded 31 more. But read the whole column anyway.

Hasan attended prayers regularly when he lived outside Washington, often in his Army uniform, said Faizul Khan, a former imam at a mosque Hasan attended in Silver Spring, Md. He said Hasan was a lifelong Muslim.

“I got the impression that he was a committed soldier,” Khan said. He spoke often with Hasan about Hasan’s desire for a wife.

On a form filled out by those seeking spouses through a program at the mosque, Hasan listed his birthplace as Arlington, Va., but his nationality as Palestinian, Khan said.

“I don’t know why he listed Palestinian,” Khan said, “He was not born in Palestine.”

Nothing stood out about Hasan as radical or extremist, Khan said.

I don’t know. I’d think not being born in the Middle East but claiming to be a Palestinian to be a bit….radical and extreme. If he was such a committed soldier, why did he feel the need to murder? Perhaps that just what some Muslims think is the right thing to do.

I’m not going to even mention that dog and pony show Obuzzard put on this afternoon.

Ain’t They Purdy!

I spent most of the day away from the house, and just finally managed to make it home about an hour ago.  After changing out of my grown up clothes, trying to persuade Mr Spot to eat, and chatting with my sister on the phone for a while, I actually started paying attention to my surroundings.  Ok, I’m a little slow…. HEY!  I’m old!  Gimme a break!

I turned on the idjit box, and lo and behold, there they were!  On top of the entertainment whatchacallit.

Obviously, neither spot is the idjit box!  If you had 2 kittens running wild in your house, would you leave purdy flowers in a vase, with WATER, on any table they could reach?  Pfft!  Get real!  :?   Had to move ‘em from the coffee table to the kitchen table to keep the little heathens from destroying ‘em in a matter of seconds.

Nope!  Not from the Mr!  sigh…  Bless her pea pickin’ little heart, that other ol’ broad made my day!  :P

Seriously, my friend.  Thank you!!!
