Investigations Ahoy!
So Sen. Lieberman wants to investigate whether the man accused of the Fort Hood shootings was a radical jihadi. Setting aside the apparent bigotry motivating the right-wing senator's move, about a dozen people died at Fort Hood.
Why doesn't Lieberman want to investigate Bush and those who worked for him, who murdered more than two million people?
Priorities, people, priorities!

Because his enablers don't want to.
It is easier to be a functioning mysogynist if a machochistic female is handy. Our recent home-grown mass murderer/terrorist who still breathes, unfortunately, couldn't find a woman to take the bait. This is a tragedy for a fuctioning Muslim male. What to do? What IS such a man to do? Oh, yeah. Get some guns and have a massacre of innocents.
Some people, in purist political-correctness, want to deny that the American Muslim community isn't showing a strong enough voice, HASN'T shown a strong enough voice about terrorist activity on American soil, since 1993. Let's be nicey-nicey and put our energies toward figuring out what went wrong with our mass murderer on life support.
Here's what happened. Instead of killing his pathetic self, Officer/psychiatrist Loser decided to make a statement. Did he or did he not shout "God is Great" in the language of his predecessors as he opened fire? Of course he did!
Beneath the assimilated, Americanized exterior of all too many Muslims lurks the desire to destroy their host country and bring humanity back to the freaking Dark Ages, to have all women walk around in tents, to speak only when spoken to, etc.
If anyone doesn't like being profiled, doesn't like suspicious glances, anyone ought to do more to convince America they don't want to overthrow America, to make us all kneel five times a day and face east when some bearded YA-hoo shouts instructions from a tower to the Muslim lemmings.
Prejudiced? Prejudice is based on survival. It isn't perfect,and that's why we have laws. But it will continue to function as a common sense method of keeping the enemies guessing.
By the way, Christianity has an equally bad record in religious zealots committing mass murder in the name of Jesus. And that's the problem. Organized religion, every one, of course, being the only 'right' religion.
Stupid grandstanding by Senator Droopity Dog. Like the police, intelligence, and legal agencies aren't doing this anyway? Like they'd drop the ball on this? It's hard to argue he's not trying to politically capitalize on this tragic incident. And yes, it seems undeniably racist to jump to such a conclusion. Thanks for the BS detection.
Hope Lieberman investigates this incident just as hard and relentlessly as he investigated Enron after the California Power Crisis...
...in other words, issue a couple of subpoenas, fulminate, and then make speeches about how the market is self-correcting. Maybe he'll recommend that the Army farm out their base security to Blackwater, since we all know the Free Market can do everything better than the Government.
Liebertroll is himself a Zionist jihadi.
He was part of funding a fundamentalist/Zionist group that was under his "Fellowship of Jews and Christians" that used contributions and US taxpayer money to funnel people out of Eastern Europe and Russia into the Occupied Territories as thugs. A lot of them were willing to sign a piece of paper saying, oh yeah, I'm Jewish alright. Some of them were not only not Jewish, but were anti-Semitic. Which is why Israel now has places where people scrawl swastikas and graffiti that says "Jews Die!"
Thank you, Joe moderation.
I think an investigation is warranted considering the following:
Hasan made efforts to contact al Qaeda...
His professional business card says under his name: “SOA” (Soldiers of Allah)
He worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.
He reportedly gave a presentation defending suicide bombers.
He once used a lecture at a medical conference as an opportunity to discuss how the Koran orders decapitation for infidels;
He yelled “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire.
The military is no place for a non-christian or minority or homosexual, or really anyone that stands nothing to gain from imperial conquest by any other name. The Fort Hood shooter figured that out too late. Why risk his life for a country that hated him and his beliefs? He eventually came to the conclusion that he wanted no part of it, but the army wouldn't let him out, even when he offered to repay the tuition assistance he received. With no option out, he decided to go out with a bang.
It's hard to call any of the troops, innocents, as an earlier poster did. They're all in the army knowing full well they'll be killers of innocents in America's imperial conquests. The Fort Hood shooter arguably saved the lives of a few legitimate freedom fighters by offing a few imperial hirelings. To the extent that his actions scare of a few muslim soldiers in the military, that's probably for the best too. Hopefully that will wake them up to the fact the 'my fellow americans' talk doesn't really include them when it counts.
If they investigate Bush, they would also have to turn their eyes to "THE ONE" who is continuing Bush's path.
and that will just not do
While LIEberman is probably the member of Congress most likely to make my skin crawl, that technically was an incident of islamic terrorism. Why has the media been downplaying that angle. Oh that's right, for fear of upsetting adherents of an insane, medieval belief system, as usual. Yes, I'm well aware of the difference between "radical" muslims and the "regular" ones. Too often, though, they aren't.
It may be 'hard' for Jufang to call troops 'innocents,' but it can be done. The 'killer' troops also have a response: KOA. With prejudice.
Lieberbush doesn't want Bush' crimes investigated because he is complicit with many of them.
