Major Nidal Hasan
"Too much stress at the office"
One of the most embarrassing moments in the history of the Department of Defense has to be their calling the Ft Hood massacre "a case of workplace violence".

Just for the record. Witnesses have stated that during Major Hasan's shooting rampage, he was shouting, "Allahu Akbar", which does not mean, "I hate this post office" in Arabic.
This is where the world of political correctness takes us, folks. We cannot state what is clearly in front of us. It is the 800 pound gorilla in the back of the room that we dare not acknowledge. We cannot acknowledge the simple fact that Hasan, like so many others around the world, was committing a heinous act in the name of his religion. To mention that is to be labeled some kind of "Islamophobic Boogey Man", however you define that complex term. It is to be accused of hating all Muslims. It doesn't matter that Hasan's mentor, Anwar Awlaki, was celebrating the act as he sat in Yemen before his own demise. We refuse to even take our enemies at their own word.
"Islamophobic Boogey Man"If the military establishment cannot even acknowledge the truth about why their soldiers were killed before they even reached the battlefield, how can we express it anywhere else except here in our precious little blogosphere? Do you think that this question gets any discussion on a university campus? Hardly. Everybody is too busy blaming all the ills of the Middle East on Israel.
Workplace violence. What a sick joke.
This "Workplace Violence" crap is pure Barack Hussain Obama think. Vote him out in 2012.

Gary, you are indulging in stereotypes. Post offices are not the only place where workplace violence occurs. Whatever else it was, Hassan was at work, and he killed people who worked in the same place. The term emerged sometime in the late years of the Reagan administration, not under Obama.
