It's been CONFIRMED that the FBI was investigating this man (he was a psychiatrist) yet despite this investigation based on his "suicide bomber sympathy" the relevant authorities saw fit to promote him to Major in the last 6 months. Terrorist or not (lets be honest most probably not) the media WILL spin this as such and i would even guess they would go as far as to link it to Iran - but they wont highlight the White Houses admission of there heavy involvement with the group attributed with recent bombings in Iran Theres a reason CNN, Fox and the rest of the alphabet gang are going out of business and making a grab for the internet

Well, until the investigation is complete and the man is questioned/tried (if he ever wakes up), nobody will know for sure. I'm definitely not going to say that he is a terrorist with Al Queda affiliations...but I also wont say that he isn't. Not until we know beyond a shadow of a doubt.
And of course the media is going to spin this every which way. They're going to milk this tragedy for all its worth. Ratings will go up and they'll be able to charge more for advertising, etc. It's a sad, sick business.

The interesting thing I suppose is that people jump to the conclusion that it was a terrorist incident simply because he is of middle eastern background and a muslim. It's extremely unlikely that such thoughts would make it to the media if he was caucasian and catholic, even though there are several terrorist groups based all around the world of which the majority of members match that general description.
However, despite that, I do see a possible link to terrorism here. Recently, a terrorist plot was foiled over here in Australia that has striking similarities. The plot was made by a Somali terrorist cell and the plan was apparently to storm Holsworthy barracks in Sydney with automatic weapons and continue to shoot people until they were shot dead themselves. Notice the similarities here: the plan was attack an army barracks and to shoot until shot, and Somalia is hugely dominated by Muslims following Islam. Not saying that there is a definate link, but you must say that the similarities are striking.

and still the point is lost on most people who've read the posts in this thread - this guy was under investigation and was promoted in that period? c'mon, this guy went to Virginia Tech which is linked to another few incidents of this nature
google MK ULTRA if you really want to know what the likely truth is

The likely truth is that he was too mentally weak to surivive the constant ragging and personal abuse he was recieving in the army. Further to this he was under contract and unable to leave this enviroment without facing prison.
Some right ****ers he could not get away from made his life a living hell until one day it was all too much for him. Much like the fat guy in the film Full Metal Jacket, only he wasn't fat, he was muslim. That's how blokes treat each other in all male institutions. Prison. The army. Boarding school. That's how it goes. The core group find someone that doesn't fit in and they ride on him until he either leaves or dies. Or in this case goes ballistic. Al Quaeda. Lmao. Nope just your regular army life tragedy. Deepcot only in America. |
