As a group of soldiers were preparing to be deployed to Iraq from Fort Hood in a special commissioning ceremony today, the officer opened fire killing 12 follow soldiers and injuring 32 others. A local police officer who was on contract with the military to provide law enforcement at the base shot and killed the suspect. At least 2 others involved in the shooting have been apprehended. It is unclear as to the level of involvement of the 2 or whether or not other suspects are at large.

Another nut-job however I fail to see just how this guy got into the Army in the first place. And I'm sure the facts will come out to prove he was most likely unstable.

Nice pic of Babylon and Processional Way - spent a lot of time there.

The concept of terrorism is itself controversial because it is often used by states to delegitimize political or foreign opponents, and potentially legitimize the state's own use of terror against them. A less politically and emotionally charged, and better defined, term (used not only for terrorists, and not including all those who have been described as terrorists) is violent non-state actor. - Wikipedia

Wikipidiot? For real? Asinine.

I have a good mind to go to Wikipedia and change that entry myself, just to prove a point.

There's nothing controversial about systematically planning the murder of innocent people. You can call it whatever you want, but "violent non-state actor" is absurd. But then, what should we expect from someone who thinks it's cute to call our military "soldiers" terrorists. Oh...and we don't want to be "politically and emotionally charged", now do we? Well, maybe if it's Al-Qaeda, the Taleban, or homegrown "terrorists" who are being killed!! s/off (geeez)

This is horrible. Those poor soldiers, and their families.

But collateral damage of non-Americans by the 'good guys' is 'okay', right? It wasn't intentional, so it's less of a crime even though the numbers are way lopsided.

So in your mind I, and others who have served our country, are nothing more than terrorists? What a piece of scum you are.

As for this guy, unless he had some ties to a terrorist organization, he is more along the lines of a cold blooded murderer. Nothing more than a crazy spree killer.

The US has just entered a phase where paranoia/screening will be at a level where brother will suspect brother. The virus will work from within now and peaceful, just and democratic US citizens will have to show strength and courage.
There is no doubt that just like those 9/11murderers who blended into the free fabric of the US, this bastard took his time until...
God help the families of those slain.

Severed your country or served the plutocracy? Can you tell the difference? Do they even give you the tools to be able to tell the difference?

n2sooners, your inability to understand the point katsteevns is making reflects negatively on your IQ status.

A killer is a killer. If you dress him up in a military uniform and send him to invade Iraq he is still a killer. The fact that the American government pays his salary, simply makes it state terrorism, that's all.

America has been destabilising the Middle East for decades. Through its proxy state Israel, it has terrorised the region and caused the deaths of more civilians than Al Qaeda could ever dream about.

Coming back to Fort Hood - it is a place where killers have been trained for decades. From this place many 'soldiers' have left who went on to kill numerous innocent civilia...

This guy was elite, not your usual whacked out soldier. Took down 30 with 2 handguns? Wow. n2sooners: You wish you could rambo with this guy's efficiency. This is total social engineering at the expense of innocent blood. Look at the propaganda: it's 95% demonization of Arabs, and 5% subterfuge regarding the competency of our own Army. Based on the comments here: it works...you against me, et cetera. Poofing the patriotism. Inciting the rage. Manufacturing consent for the ensuing massacre of Iran. Enraging the Muslim population of the US, creating social chaos...national emergency for swine flu? hmm. Anyway...gotta go watch some millionaire terrorists knock the shit out of each other over a ...

The reaction of the right wingers on this forum surely plays right into the hands of their NeoCon masters who have already started building a case for invading Iran to "free" them of their oil.

The more I have to deal with the American Right, the more convinced I am that these people are the most dangerous on all of earth.

They have the same distorted religious fanaticism of the Taliban, but they are much more dangerous than the Taliban could ever be. They have already killed 100 000 innocent civilians in Iraq....and they will not stop to think one moment before killing ten times that number in Iran.

aperiozar: Dude, they've killed about 1.3 million in Iraq, but I understand your anger, bro...but uh, like do you realize also that NATO is there, the UN is obviously OK with it, the EU is ok with it, too. Actually it appears everybody that could stop it is ok with it. So once you get over the startling reality of the American right and look at the bigger picture, you'll be ok. I think.

What is the bigger picture according to your thinking? That everyone who could make a dollar from raping Iraq makes it, not just American NeoCons?

Then Iran is about to befall the same fate. And very soon Venezuela. Both have oil. And the propaganda war against both have already started.

Where will it end?

Oil? That's not what I had in mind, but it surely is some nice loot.

The bigger picture is that this wasn't started by NeoCons at all. It seems more appropriate to suggest it was actually started by the Trilateral regime which infiltrated the Carter administration. The bigger picture involves using Iraq as leverage to destabilize the entire middle east, to minimize any sort of sovereignty beyond that of the United Nations. I am not sure why you are so upset. You already expect America to be continually victorious, but the reality is that this country hasn't even tasted what is yet to come. America is simply a puppet state of the global government. It has been the most powerful and useful...

I accept that Obama is working for the same "bosses" as Bush.

Who in your opinion are these bosses though, if not Americans?

Well, I'll stick with the secular because I have found it's difficult to jump straight into the spiritual without first dismantling the secular. It doesn't matter who the boss is. If you have time to kill, you can find these answers. I have 1,102 clips which document some of this. The bottom line is you have thousands of years of a manufactured machine that is so systematically perfect that it is absolutely inevitable that those who become leaders will undoubtedly push the same agenda. These intense emotions caused by political addiction have blinded all of us. We are wrapped up in something we cannot change. We can delay it, of course, and make it difficult for them to accomplish their goal...

On the face of it, I don't have a huge problem with what you say. I will first have to check out some of your clips to form an unbiased opinion though...
