This is just wrong. The Army knew as far back as 2007 that the muslim murderer was proselytizing on top of being fat, stupid and unreliable. Here’s a memo documenting his poor judgment and lack of professionalism.
Highlights: he allowed a homicidal psychotic patient to escape from the ER, he failed to show up for call and didn’t answer his pages and he failed *Step 3 of his medical licensing test preventing him from getting his license so he was held back until he did. Most troubling, in his final year of residency, he saw only 30 patients in 38 weeks in a community clinic. In a university clinic, he would easily see 30 patients a week.
Why did it take until the end of the rotation to discover it?
In a residency outside the Army this would not have been tolerated. Political correctness has led to murder of Americans on American soil by an Islamic terrorist. It has to stop.
NPR obtained the memo signed by the chief of the Psychiatry Residency at Walter Reed, Major Scott Moran. After listing the muslim murderer’s deficiencies, Maj Moran concludes:
In spite of all this, I am not able to say that he is not competent to graduate, nor do I think a period of academic probation at the end of his training would be beneficial.
He would be able to contain his behavior enough to complete any period of probation successfully.
Step 3 assesses whether you can apply medical knowledge and understanding of biomedical and clinical science essential for the unsupervised practice of medicine, with emphasis on patient management in ambulatory settings. Step 3 provides a final assessment of physicians assuming independent responsibility for delivering general medical care. A principal organizing dimension for Step 3 design is normal conditions and disease categories. Second and third organizing dimensions are the clinical encounter frame and physician tasks. Step 3 content reflects a data-based model of generalist medical practice in the United States.
PRITE EXAM is a test taken by psychiatry residents 3-4 times during their residency. It covers all the separate components of psychiatry and is used to assess the competency of residents and highlight the areas that need attention.
The GMEC mission is to improve access to high quality primary care for citizens of Southwest Virginia by forming educational partnerships between communities, local physicians, and primary care residency programs in Virginia, Tennessee North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia. GMEC creates and supports medical residency preceptor sites in rural and underserved communities in Southwest Virginia.
CCN’s Campbell Brown – NPR’s Daniel Zwerdling discuss memo.
Ostensibly to be taken back to Libya with him. [His bodyguards are women who are supposedly virgins. Not sure if they go through a gyne exam,]
What happened when they showed up?
He tried to convert Italian women – probably > 90% of them Catholic – to Islam, including a free Koran.
His quote in reference to Jesus not being crucified:
They crucified someone who looked like him.
It’s not the first time he’s requested hundreds of women.
Previous visit to Rome, he requested 700 women from the world of politics, industry and culture..
Paris, 2007: After pitching his tent on the grounds of a 5-star hotel and allowing his camels to roam free, he requested 1,000 French women because “he was on a mission to save European women”.
And in Qatar in March he proclaimed:
I am an international leader, the dean of the Arab rulers, the king of kings of Africa and imam of Muslims, and my international status does not allow me to descend to a lower level.
A former Army defense lawyer, JAMES F CULP, weighs in on defending the muslim murderer. mm’s present lawyer (Col J P Galligan) is also retired military.
JAMES F CULP:
The only practical way J. P. Galligan will be able to save Hasan’s life is to convince one military member — one —that Hasan should not die.
One thing about a military jury is, they know people who have been wronged by the military. If you’ve got any kind of case that’s credible, it’s that very kind of jury that would consider it.
Not sure about that. Being wronged doesn’t quite cover declaring war on fellow soldiers because they are non muslims and then opening fire on them.
Mr Culp decline the case when he was asked if he would consider working on it.
Every soldier deserves a great defense, but the crimes Major Hasan is accused of go so harshly against the grain of military honor that, if true, Major Hasan has essentially divested himself of the status of the American soldier.
They’re true. There are a million eyewitnesses. He murdered unarmed soldiers without provocation. He deserves to rot in hell.
And his crime needs to be called what it was: Islamic terrorism.
Thank God Sen Lieberman (I-CT) is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee because he has no problem labeling the muslim murderer’s cowardly rampage what it was: a terror attack. Susan Collins (R-ME) will be working with him.
LIEBERMAN:
We do no favor to all of our fellow Americans who are Muslim by ignoring real evidence that a small number of their community have in fact become violent Islamists and extremists.
And they do no favors to their fellow Americans by staying quiet and only coming forward to complain AFTER another “devout muslim” kills non-muslim Americans just because they are not muslims. And there was no way the muslim murderer could know if the soldiers he was shooting in the back were muslims because he never asked. He just yelled the same thing the insurgents yell after they blow up Americans.
What that impotent, bacon-eating, beer-drinking, perverted strip club-attending islamic terrorist did qualifies as a hate crime and should be labeled as such.
Updated information:
*In the emails he sent to another hate-filled “devout” muslim cleric in Yemen:
I can’t wait to join you in the afterlife.
And this shows without a doubt that he knew what he was planning was wrong because he asked if jihad was permissible:
If there are innocents killed in a suicide attack?
He doesn’t even qualify as a “martyr” because he was too cowardly to kill himself.
*He donated $20-30K/year to overseas Islamic hate-filled charities.
Meaning he was funding the murders of his fellow soldiers. This man is as evil as they come. Take out the muslim hate – he went against everything a doctor stands for and committed unprovoked pre-meditated murder on innocent, unarmed people.
*He was worried about an HIV test he had taken.
Why? As far as was made public he wasn’t married. And “devout muslims” are not to have premarital sex, which is punishable by lashings and imprisonment.
So who was he having sex with? The naked non-muslim blonde women he paid to give him lap dances? Was he homosexual? Did he shoot drugs?
*Pentagon: 45-day investigation into extremism in the military.
Sure makes one wonder if they know he was recruiting others.
Have they discovered the identity of the young men who stayed with the neighbors thought were his sons?
What did the Army know?
LIEBERMAN:
The question is were those concerns conveyed up the chain of command, and were they recorded anywhere in Hasan’s personnel files and did the Army do anything in response to those concerns?
Will try to find full text. Some hand-transcribed comments.
Whoever wrote this speech (if it wasn’t Gen Casey himself) should be writing POTUS speeches. Though it’s the conviction the speaker has in the words that gives them their meaning.

Army Chief of Staff General George Casey
Warrior ethos:
I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade.
Our ethos and our values are woven into the very fabric of our Army.
Our soldiers are cut from the great cloth of this country – a country they love and serve in a time of war.
….But we are an Army that has drawn strength from that adversity.
So as we grieve as an Army family, as we wrap our arms around the families of our fallen comrades, I would say to you all: Grieve with us, don’t grieve for us.
Those who have fallen did so in the service of their country.
They freely answered the call to serve, and they gave their lives for something that they loved and believed in.
I am extremely proud of the competence, the courage and the commitment of our soldiers’ families, civilians and veterans.
And I am convinced more than ever that when faced with the questions: Who will go for us? They will answer to a person: ‘Here am I, send me.’
Condolences to all the military and families of Fort Hood. Thank you for your selfless courage and ultimate sacrifice.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: We come together filled with sorrow for the 13 Americans that we have lost; with gratitude for the lives that they led; and with a determination to honor them through the work we carry on.
This is a time of war. And yet these Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle. They were killed here, on American soil, in the heart of this great American community. It is this fact that makes the tragedy even more painful and even more incomprehensible.
For those families who have lost a loved one, no words can fill the void that has been left. We knew these men and women as soldiers and caregivers. You knew them as mothers and fathers; sons and daughters; sisters and brothers.
But here is what you must also know: your loved ones endure through the life of our nation. Their memory will be honored in the places they lived and by the people they touched. Their life’s work is our security, and the freedom that we too often take for granted. Every evening that the sun sets on a tranquil town; every dawn that a flag is unfurled; every moment that an American enjoys life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — that is their legacy.
Neither this country — nor the values that we were founded upon — could exist without men and women like these thirteen Americans. And that is why we must pay tribute to their stories.
Chief Warrant Officer MICHEAL CAHILLhad served in the National Guard and worked as a physician’s assistant for decades. A husband and father of three, he was so committed to his patients that on the day he died, he was back at work just weeks after having a heart attack.
Major Libardo EDUARDO CARAVEOspoke little English when he came to America as a teenager. But he put himself through college, earned a PhD, and was helping combat units cope with the stress of deployment. He is survived by his wife, sons and step-daughters.
Staff Sergeant JUSTIN DECROWjoined the Army right after high school, married his high school sweetheart, and had served as a light-wheeled mechanic and Satellite Communications Operator. He was known as an optimist, a mentor, and a loving husband and father.
After retiring from the Army as a major,Captain JOHN GAFFANEYcared for society’s most vulnerable during two decades as a psychiatric nurse. He spent three years trying to return to active duty in this time of war, and he was preparing to deploy to Iraq as a captain. He leaves behind a wife and son.
Specialist FREDERICK GREENEwas a Tennessean who wanted to join the Army for a long time, and did so in 2008 with the support of his family. As a combat engineer he was a natural leader, and he is survived by his wife and two daughters.
Specialist JASON HUNT was also recently married, with three children to care for. He joined the Army after high school. He did a tour in Iraq, and it was there that he re-enlisted for six more years on his 21st birthday so that he could continue to serve.
Staff Sergeant AMY KRUEGERwas an athlete in high school, joined the Army shortly after 9/11, and had since returned home to speak to students about her experience. When her mother told her she couldn’t take on Osama bin Laden by herself, Amy replied: “Watch me.”
Private First Class AARON NEMELKAwas an Eagle Scout who just recently signed up to do one of the most dangerous jobs in the service — defuse bombs — so that he could help save lives. He was proudly carrying on a tradition of military service that runs deep within his family.
Private First Class MICHAEL PEARSONloved his family and loved his music, and his goal was to be a music teacher. He excelled at playing the guitar, and could create songs on the spot and show others how to play. He joined the military a year ago, and was preparing for his first deployment.
Captain RUSSELL SEAGERworked as a nurse for the VA, helping veterans with post-traumatic stress. He had great respect for the military, and signed up to serve so that he could help soldiers cope with the stress of combat and return to civilian life. He leaves behind a wife and son.
Private FRANCHESKA VELEZ, the daughter of a father from Colombia and a Puerto Rican mother, had recently served in Korea and in Iraq, and was pursuing a career in the Army. When she was killed, she was pregnant with her first child, and was excited about becoming a mother.
Lieutenant Colonel JUANITA WARMANwas the daughter and granddaughter of Army veterans. She was a single mother who put herself through college and graduate school, and served as a nurse practitioner while raising her two daughters. She also left behind a loving husband.
Private First Class KHAM XIONGcame to America from Thailand as a small child. He was a husband and father who followed his brother into the military because his family had a strong history of service. He was preparing for his first deployment to Afghanistan.
These men and women came from all parts of the country. Some had long careers in the military. Some had signed up to serve in the shadow of 9/11. Some had known intense combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, and some cared for those did. Their lives speak to the strength, the dignity and the decency of those who serve, and that is how they will be remembered.
That same spirit is embodied in the community here at Fort Hood, and in the many wounded who are still recovering. In those terrible minutes during the attack, soldiers made makeshift tourniquets out of their clothes. They braved gunfire to reach the wounded, and ferried them to safety in the backs of cars and a pick-up truck.
One young soldier, Amber Bahr, was so intent on helping others that she did not realize for some time that she, herself, had been shot in the back. Two police officers — Mark Todd and Kim Munley — saved countless lives by risking their own. One medic — Francisco de la Serna — treated both Officer Munley and the gunman who shot her.
It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy. But this much we do know — no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor. And for what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice — in this world, and the next.
These are trying times for our country. In Afghanistan and Pakistan, the same extremists who killed nearly 3,000 Americans continue to endanger America, our allies and innocent Afghans and Pakistanis. In Iraq, we are working to bring a war to a successful end, as there are still those who would deny the Iraqi people the future that Americans and Iraqis have sacrificed so much for.
As we face these challenges, the stories of those at Fort Hood reaffirm the core values that we are fighting for, and the strength that we must draw upon. Theirs are tales of American men and women answering an extraordinary call — the call to serve their comrades, their communities, and their country. In an age of selfishness, they embody responsibility. In an era of division, they call upon us to come together. In a time of cynicism, they remind us of who we are as Americans.
We are a nation that endures because of the courage of those who defend it. We saw that valor in those who braved bullets here at Fort Hood, just as surely as we see it in those who signed up knowing that they would serve in harm’s way.
We are a nation of laws whose commitment to justice is so enduring that we would treat a gunman and give him due process, just as surely as we will see that he pays for his crimes.
We are a nation that guarantees the freedom to worship as one chooses. And instead of claiming God for our side, we remember Lincoln’s words, and always pray to be on the side of God.
We are a nation that is dedicated to the proposition that all men and women are created equal.
We live that truth within our military, and see it in the varied backgrounds of those we lay to rest today. We defend that truth at home and abroad, and we know that Americans will always be found on the side of liberty and equality. That is who we are as a people.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. It is a chance to pause, and to pay tribute — for students to learn of the struggles that preceded them; for families to honor the service of parents and grandparents; for citizens to reflect upon the sacrifices that have been made in pursuit of a more perfect union.
For history is filled with heroes. You may remember the stories of a grandfather who marched across Europe; an uncle who fought in Vietnam; a sister who served in the Gulf. But as we honor the many generations who have served, I think all of us — every single American — must acknowledge that this generation has more than proved itself the equal of those who have come before.
We need not look to the past for greatness, because it is before our very eyes.
This generation of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen have volunteered in a time of certain danger. They are part of the finest fighting force that the world has ever known.
They have served tour after tour of duty in distant, different and difficult places. They have stood watch in blinding deserts and on snowy mountains. They have extended the opportunity of self-government to peoples that have suffered tyranny and war. They are man and woman; white, black, and brown; of all faiths and stations — all Americans, serving together to protect our people, while giving others half a world away the chance to lead a better life.
In today’s wars, there is not always a simple ceremony that signals our troops’ success — no surrender papers to be signed, or capital to be claimed. But the measure of their impact is no less great — in a world of threats that no know borders, it will be marked in the safety of our cities and towns, and the security and opportunity that is extended abroad. And it will serve as testimony to the character of those who serve, and the example that you set for America and for the world.
Here, at Fort Hood, we pay tribute to 13 men and women who were not able to escape the horror of war, even in the comfort of home. Later today, at Fort Lewis, one community will gather to remember so many in one Stryker Brigade who have fallen in Afghanistan.
Long after they are laid to rest — when the fighting has finished, and our nation has endured; when today’s servicemen and women are veterans, and their children have grown — it will be said of this generation that they believed under the most trying of tests; that they persevered not just when it was easy, but when it was hard; and that they paid the price and bore the burden to secure this nation, and stood up for the values that live in the hearts of all free peoples.
So we say goodbye to those who now belong to eternity. We press ahead in pursuit of the peace that guided their service. May God bless the memory of those we lost. And may God bless the United States of America.
