Liberal Spin - Mass Murder is Military's Fault
clipped by: ColoradoRight

clipped from newsbusters.org

In a case of trying to find liberal angles on a tragic shooting, switching the focus of blame and judgment from the mass murderer to the military, Newsweek's Andrew Bast asked on the magazine's blog The Human Condition: "Is Fort Hood A Harbinger? Nidal Malik Hasan May Be A Symptom of a Military On the Brink."

So the shooting is the Pentagon's fault? And they may inspire more shootings to come? Newsweek is going there:

Details remained murky, but at least 13 are dead and 30 wounded in a killing spree that may momentarily remind us of a reality that most Americans can readily forget: soldiers and their families are living, and bending, under a harrowing and unrelenting stress that will not let up anytime soon.

Hasan's perspective is unknown. He had yet to fight abroad. But the accusations against him can't help but bring to mind the violence scarring military bases all over the country after the duration of two long, brutal wars.

clipper's remarks: This is just another case of an anti-war blogger pretending they're for "the troops" because they want them removed from war zones.

That is quite a reach since the guy had never even been overseas.

Even non-muslim troop morale is down, because they are in conflict about why they are fighting people who have never attacked America. The psychological turmoil is real, which has been testified by the military themselves. How much more those who are sent who identify with that religion and ethnic group?

Any thinking conservative can see this (if he is not just a "ditto head"), if he would sympathize with soldiers from their point of view instead of from an overstuffed armchair.

Morale is down because there is no leadership and no defined goal in Afghanistan. You need to be in it to win or get out. I think getting out would be bad as we would likely end up having to return down the road anyway, but not fighting it to win leads us down the road to Viet Nam part two. Obama needs to learn to lead and stop with the campaigning already, it isn't helping the troops or the country.

See latest NBC video on shooter which explains his mental and psychological state of mind, and obvious dissent about being deployed.

Now this one too is very important:
Nov. 6: Col. Jack Jacobs offers perspective -- "numbers don't add up" i.e. more than one shooter

I lay the blame for this man's actions entirely at his own feet. If he lives, I hope they execute him. That being said, why were those who were with him (in the military) not more diligent and booted him out? Even from what I've read (I'm sure there is more) he was not a fellow comrade-in-arms. His words and actions spoke volumes.
