Here's Why The Media Denies it Was Terrorism

[driveby]

The only ones involved were active duty soldiers so that means everything our military does is terrorism. I also find it disconcerting that on the largest military base in the US it wasn't prepared to defend itself and had to rely on local cops to stop the attack. Now hush your self righteous cries and listen why I say that: just like we didn't close our borders after 9E this helps show why the WOT is a myth. We are using that phrase to justify our imperialism.

Ahhh, no.

The military is not engaged in illegal activity. Hasan was (allegedly).

God forbid we hold ourselves to the same standards we want others to follow.

Kill 3,000 americans you get food, a bed and medical treatment along with spewing your martyrist garbage at a CIVILIAN court room in NYC. Get caught doing constructive work to help in one of those "other" countries you get kidnapped and get your head sawed off. Our standards are just fine........

It's been well known our military has been engaged in illegal activity for quite a while and we also have the clear evidence it is politically motivated.

Oh really? Please show me evidence that our military has systemically been involved in illegal activity and the thousands of service personnel convicted for this systemic and organized criminal activity.

Or are you talking out of yer ass again? Just because you weally weally weally don't like some of the things that our military does, does not make the actions illegal.

You mean the hijackers survived the attacks and got medical treatment? Have you notified the FBI on their location?

Indeed. It's what my earlier post was about. I don't know if Curvelight is a high schooler or not, but most of us could write his posts and no one would know the difference.

You mean you don't know a Bush appointee admitted over 6 years ago our invasion of iraq was illegal?

Then you pull out the genius card of confusing Policy for our Troops. Typical. When you lack a good argument just pull the emotional strings. Don't worry, there are plenty of puppets on here who are more than happy to play along. I'm not one of them.

But, ya see, here in the real world words have meaning and stuff. And just because you or he SAYS it's illegal, it does not make it so. No matter how much you weally weally weally want it to be.

Confusing policy for troops? You trying to backtrack now? You said:

You said military sparky. Not military policy. I said show proof that our military has been involved in systemic illegal activity. You have declined to do so and are now trying to deflect and obfuscate.

FAIL.

I didn't read the entire thread...perhaps this has been addressed.

If anyone in the media stated this was not terrorism they shouldn't be in the media.

If anyone in the media stated this was terrorism they shouldn't be in the media.

The media's job is not to assign motive, rather it is to report what is known, and as far as I can tell, they have done a good job of doing just that.

I bet either the Easter Bunny or Santa told You that... huh?

Do you disagree?

Actually I do agree with your above points. NPR and ABC have been leading the pack in getting information out. Everyone else is playing catch-up.

You have not met yet the burden of proof.

The US does not release it's sovereignty to any higher power. The UN does not override US law. Therefore you have yet to show that anything the military has systemically committed any illegal acts. Either as a policy or by the troops.

Again, just because you weally, weally, weally don't like something doesn't make it illegal.

Which of the bullshit rehearsed responses will you give? It's obvious you're incapable of an original response so dazzle us with the parrot play.....

It's pretty obvious that this is, in fact, what you have been doing. What, with the "ZOMFG Teh War is ILLEGAL!!!1!!", combined with your inability to post any proof.

We're waiting...

At this point in time I consider it a hate crime. Which of course don't exist in Conservatopia.

How did that hate crime bill work as a deterrent in this case? Ineffective law with no benefit.

Our laws against murder didn't work as as deterrent in this case either. By your genius that would deem them ineffective laws with no benefit.

jeezus

So you'll just ignore any and all links showing it is illegal then parrot the ever classic "Fail" shit and not once own up to the obvious. Like I said, not very original. But what will be acceptable as "proof" it was illegal? I asked that because if you are being honest you will have no problem giving a clear and reasonable response.

It is pretty interesting Cheney can publicly admit (for the second time at least) it didn't matter if wmd were there or not and nobody gives a shit the reason he cited the most as the justification is actually irrelevant. But those of us who pay attention know this was his position all along.

Oops....missed that typical bullshit the first time. It's a huge red herring to say the UN does not override US sovereignty. Nobody said it does. When we violate our Treaty with another organization we violate our own laws. But you already know that but it doesn't matter.

Hmmm....the Constitution and elections were around long before saddam was even born. Hasan had a personal business card calling himself a Soldier of Allah? Got a link or is this filed under Ollie's Follies?

Unlike you I am consistent, decently informed, and definitely not subject to being silenced through emotional blackmail. Your camp is full of ignorance and hypocrisy so take your pontificating and pack it up in a nice neat apple pie.

Investigators Study Tangle of Clues on Fort Hood Suspect

By SCOTT SHANE and JAMES DAO
WASHINGTON — When Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan took his two handguns and headed for Fort Hood on Nov. 5, he left behind in his spartan apartment his new business cards. Now they are one more clue for investigators of the 13 killings he is charged with, hinting at the road not taken.

On the cards, ordered over the Internet after Major Hasan was transferred to the sprawling Texas base in July, the 39-year-old psychiatrist omitted the rank he had achieved in the Army he had served for most of his adult life. Instead, he included the cryptic abbreviation “SoA,” apparently “Servant of Allah” or “Soldier of Allah,” perhaps marking a symbolic shift of allegiance from his military profession to his increasingly consuming faith....

Yeah I got that info but thanks for the link.....was looking it up while you were posting this. Ollie's post made it sound like he left a calling card openly saying he did it for islam. My beef is people will use this to deride islam even more and continue to ignore our own actions. We have been killing so many people over the last decade it is impossible to blame islam and be honest.

Can You even say Jihad????? Jackass!!! Because We are at War, We Kill People, and that makes it Our fault??? Define "Rules Of Engagement".

Oops....missed that typical bullshit the first time. It's a huge red herring to say the UN does not override US sovereignty. Nobody said it does.

Actually, you certainly implied it when you said that the war was illegal because the UN said it was so. Do you have Alzheimers or are you just that stupid. Or is it dishonesty? I'm going to go with the last 2.

When we violate our Treaty with another organization we violate our own laws.

So prove that we violated a treaty with the UN, and that such violation was illegal. And please realize that if you prove this, all it does is show that we illegally violated a treaty. Not that the military policy itself is illegal.

So go ahead, knock yerself out.

You keep spouting a lot of words, but don't have much proof. I can see you stamping your little feet from here.
