"Now if there is anything to the allegation that he was in contact with al Qaida, then its a different story. The difference between you and I is that I am willing to wait before passing judgement. Because of your ideology and partisanship, you, Ten, and Jozef can't wait to pass judgement." A connection is being made between him and Anwar Al-Alawki. Anwar is an American born Muslim with Yemeni heritage, who has become an Islamic scholar and has served as a popular Imam at Mosques from coast to coast in America. He was the Imam at the Virginia Mosque when it was attended by a young Hasan. Anwar is charismatic and his speech has a strong appeal, especially to young Americans. That's partly due to his personality and partly due to the fact that he doesn't fall into the usual cultural traps that foriegn speakers do that would make him a target of mockery ... like when Ahmadenijad said there are no homosexuals in Iran. He is also very outspoken in support of global jihad and against the operations of the US military, especially over the last decade or so. Anwar, who has an immense following, has proclaimed Hasan to be a hero and is encouraging others to view him as a role model. I knew Anwar personally when he was a student at Colorado State University, and visited with him when he was in Denver. He is a likable enough chap when just hanging out. I would not be surprised to see more incidents on the heals of this one.

RE:he was going to be at Walter Reed for the rest of his tour of duty. WTF are you talking about? Do you have any idea what a "tour of duty" is? Don't insult our soldiers - prick.

I didn't miss it. I believe he was afraid to go to Afghanistan. This is bullshit. Nobody who is in a position to know has said anything LIKE this. He didn't want to go because he, as a Muslim, didn't want to fight in a war he was opposed to. That simple. It costs tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars to put a soldier through training. In this case, because he received medical training in addition, it was even more. Maybe a million dollars or more. You don't just get to walk away from it because of the war we happen to be engaged in. It doesn't work that way, the sorry bastard KNEW it didn't work that way, so that's that. If you were an American, you would understand. Being an America-hater, and a member of the blame-America-first-and-often crown, you think there is justification for his actions. There isn't. He should be tried, convicted, and put to death. Next week, if possible. That when he became a shrink he thought he was going to be at Walter Reed for the rest of his tour of duty. When he was demoted, it came as a shock to him. I also think he wanted out of the army. That's fairly common theme among medical army people........the army pays for your education and then they want to be on the outside where the lucrative payroll is. That type of thinking happens to army medical personnel whether they are Christian, Buddhist, agnostic, atheist or Muslim. Now if there is anything to the allegation that he was in contact with al Qaida, then its a different story.

Now if there is anything to the allegation that he was in contact with al Qaida, then its a different story. There is an allegation he tried to contact al Queda. Officials: U.S. Army Told of Hasan's Contacts with al Qaeda abcnews.go.com The difference between you and I is that I am willing to wait before passing judgement. Because of your ideology and partisanship, you, Ten, and Jozef can't wait to pass judgement. If you did not notice, I waited for the info to come out, and today is the first day I am commenting on this being a terror attack. You may also notice that I am ahead of president Obama, who is spending time on his "Health Care Push" rather than on the worst (and the first) terrorist attack on American soil - one under his watch. His administration is dragging its feet releasing relevant information to public. Obama himself is - pre-emptively making excuses: "We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing."
