It’s not all about you, Benwah. One day you will learn that. It’s a tough lesson. One especially hard for conservatives.

139. SukieTawdry: you disagree with me that is fine.

My question is, if as appears clear, that there is a Jihadist factor in this massacre, what exactly should we do about it? obliviously we try to weed out the Jihadist from the military, and wish both parties would take the 9-11 commission recommendations seriously. while not applicable, perhaps, to this massacre, turf battles and not sharing info is a real killer. we have to find ways to make our big machine work in selective arenas like little fast responsive machines.

As far as trying to prevent broad backlash against Islam, this is sensible policy, but it is different than the knee-jerk leftist reaction of always looking away from the source of responsibility for someone else to blame. No we don’t want to be apologists for the guilty, an inadequate human being who is a cold blooded murderer, but we also don’t want to behave like a nation of racist morons, we don’t want to become the enemy.

our strength is our freedom and openness and the belief that we all have the same rights.
That Jihadist had more rights to practice his religion in this country the way he wanted too than in any country in the middle east or Asia, or the world. This is our strength, to differentiate between what is good and what is bad. we have loyal patriotic Muslims who love this country and we would do a great disservice to ourselves and them to just blame “Islam” for Islamic Jihadists, not the same hing and we know it, and it is detrimental to our battle with the Islamic Jihadists to pretend otherwise.

PS thanks to all the Veterans for your service.

Lesson for the brain dead PC infected deniers of the obvious: Reality bites.

Typical (wait, make that common) . . . rooting for the worst and doing everything you can to make sure it happens. How conservative of you, Señor Benwa.

Can any muslim apologist look the survivors and the families of the victims in the eye and say that there is no Jihadist factor in this massacre? Perhaps Obama can invite the families of the victims to the Whitehouse to a beer summit for discussion of a teachable moment.

Perhaps also, a well publicised commission could investigate whether anything in the koran legitimises such behaviour and declare, whether it is sanctioned by the canon of islam or is a perversion of islam used by sociopaths to provide a rationalisation for their behaviour. Such a commission could also be expected to justify its conclusions and inform debate about potential ameliorative actions.

Tsun Tzu probably has advice for people who wish to prevail and warnings to those who ignore reality about the consequences of such denial.

My hope and change have been answered. He is ALIVE and awake.
Now will come the instinctive knee-jerkers and jerks of the left with cries for civil rights, justice for all, no military tribunals for this war crime, Hasan is the victim of American imperialism through the ages, the crinkle of Saudi money pouring in to the defensive dream team of lawyers and finally the speech by Holder appointing a new prosecutor unanswerable to anyone in government.
This prosecutor will have the unusual responsibility to select a jury to include Soros, Buffett, Garafolo, Mahar, Baldwin, Seeger(Pete), Jarrett, Emanuel(Z) and Moho.
Wait for it…

Now you have all of these plus a new Cheney. They are strung around your neck now and they are so heavy you and your associates in socialism will not be able to bear them.
