But Let's Not Read Anything Into This: Ft. Hood Suspect Reportedly Shouted `Allahu Akbar'

Maybe when Barack Obama finds his balls he can give the American people a shout out as to why this happened.

Soldiers who witnessed the shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire, the base commander said Friday.

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone said officials had not yet confirmed that the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, made the comment, which is Arabic for "God is great!" before the rampage Thursday, which left 30 people wounded, including the gunman.

An imam from a mosque Hasan regularly attended said Hasan, a lifelong Muslim, was a committed soldier, gave no sign of extremist beliefs and regularly wore his uniform at prayers.

Yes, no sign of extremist beliefs, except for being a Muslim psychopath.

Meanwhile, the terror supporters from CAIR are running scared. Good luck defending this maniac.

"He was making outlandish comments condemning our foreign policy and claimed Muslims had the right to rise up and attack Americans," Col Lee told Fox News.

"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Maj Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.

Col Lee alleged that other officers had told him that Maj Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Time Square" in New York.

On the upside, at least this psychopath wasn't a wild-eyed conservative teabagger. Then Obama and the left might be spurred into action.

Update: Dan Friedman emails to note the headline in the AP story has changed. Now there's a shocker.

The AP posted this story with this headline and lede on Yahoo! News about two hours ago:

[Sure, it's a "rapidly changing story." Yeah, right. Expect more of the same from the "real news organizations" as/if the mass murderer's Muslim faith emerges as a significant motive. df]
