Sad to say, that the first real news I was able to obtain about today’s Fort Hood shootings was from al jazeera! They had the info that nobody else really seemed to want to give out, that it was a fragging by a soldier on the Texas military base that killed and/or injured about 40 of their comrades. A certain Major fragging at Fort Hood has now spoken spoke out loudly against more of Obama’s wars, but is anybody going to pay any attention?
The news actually got even more ironic as the media finally announced that the soldier who did the fragging was a Major and a Psychiatrist involved in treating ‘Post Trauma Stress Disorder’. Apparently he became distraught about orders that came down to send him to Iraq, which was what caused him to fire on the other soldiers. The spin has already begun on how to handle this event. Of course they will all say that it is ‘tragic’ and that it cannot be allowed to detract from yet more war making. This will be a doubtful conclusion though. The politicians don’t really care about the bloodshed they unleash on others.

It will be really hard to spin that one. Calling him Crazy won’t work, because of his job. Which requires a LOT of vetting, especially psychological testing.
Questioning his courage won’t work well either, he threw down on the biggest Army base there is. And apparently was already a veteran.
And they had just put him in for a promotion to Lt Colonel. That means, not a young pup fresh out of college. Even doctors don’t get a Colonel rating in less than 5 years.
Somebody or a large herd of Somebodies will say that he has a funny sounding Foreign name. Scaremongers.
It has spectacularly failed for them before, they said the same thing about President Obama.
They’re just now saying he wasn’t a combat veteran. (NBC news) BUT he had 6 years at Walter Reed.
