If true, all the information has yet to be confirmed, this news will cause rejoicing throughout the Middle East. That there are those here in America that still do not believe radical Islam, Islamofascism, is not a real danger is amazingly naive.
UPDATE: 12 dead in 2 attacks at Fort Hood
UPDATE at 5:09 p.m.: Officials say a shooting suspect at Fort Hood has been identified as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, who they say was an Army mental health professional, The Associated Press reported.
A law enforcement official said Hasan, believed to be in his late 30s, was killed after opening fire at the base. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
A defense official speaking on condition of anonymity says Hasan was a mental health professional - an Army psychologist or psychiatrist, The Associated Press reported.
It was not known whether he was treating people at the base.
Officials says it was not clear what Hasan's religion was, but investigators are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name or if he may have changed his name and converted to the Islamic faith at some point, The Associated Press reported.
UPDATE at 4:53 p.m.: The Associated Press has confirmed what ABC first reported: the suspected shooter who has been killed is U.S. Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan. He is said to be a convert to Islam.
This is a tragedy. It is a tragedy that will be witnessed more if we do not show once again a firm resolve to defeat Islamofascism everywhere including here in America. That large sections of the poor and prison inmates are being converted is worrisome enough, but that there are those in positions of influence who may be sympathetic or, worse yet, allied with terrorists, is even more worrisome.
Time to stop dithering and get serious.
UPDATE: A Col Lee who says that he worked with Major Hasan is on the news (FOX) saying that Hasan openly said that Muslims should rise up against America and American soldiers.
He is also wondering aloud why Hasan was transferred from Walter Reed to Fort Hood.

Barbara The Bully Boxer Passes Huge Tax Increase In Committee
Barbara Boxer, using loopholes that allowed her to completely ignore Republican committee members on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has gotten passed a global warming bill that hasn't a snow ball's chance in Hell of passing a vote of the Senate. Max Baucus voted against Boxer which will probably get him placed on the WH Hate List.
Senate Panel Approves Climate Change Bill Despite GOP Boycott
Boxer, never seen as a bright bulb, has wasted millions of taxpayer dollars to pass a committee bill that Republicans boycotted because it is so horrible and a Senate that doesn't want it to see the light of day.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who was prepared to push a host of changes, said she was “voting to bring this bill out of committee (anyway) because we need a signal to the world that America wants to be a leader” in combating global warming.
How about America being, not signaling, the world leader in business and freedom? Our dollar has been sabotaged by his administration and this new cap and trade tax, the largest ever, will sink us further.
What is the Democrat Party's real objective in destroying our economy?

AARP Screws Grandma Again
In an effort to line their own pocket AARP, supposedly a nonpartisan and non-profit organization, is going to endorse Obama Care. The only windfall bigger for AARP and its immense insurance concern, would be if Obama and Pelosi offered up a Stimulus II that included billions for travel discounts and trinkets for AARP's members.
AARP, Key Retirees' Lobby, To Endorse Democrats' Health Bill
Approximately half of the over 50 crowd in America belong to AARP. Supposedly, according to AARP, their membership is evenly divided among Democrats, Republicans and Independents, which sounds preposterous when looking at the senior vote history.
The Democrats have lobbied AARP hard, which means AARP got some hefty behind-door promises, in hopes of turning the tide in favor of the sinking ship known as health care reform.
I have never belonged to AARP and will not join in the future because the leadership of AARP has politicized the group to increase their profits and salaries while screwing its membership.
