The Islamofascist Everyone Knew: “You would not want Nidal Hasan in your foxhole.”

November 12, 2009 / 10:29 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

From NPR:

Starting in the spring of 2008, key officials from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences held a series of meetings and conversations, in part about Maj. Nidal Hasan, the man accused of killing 13 people and wounding dozens of others last week during a shooting spree at Fort Hood. One of the questions they pondered: Was Hasan psychotic?

“Put it this way,” says one official familiar with the conversations that took place. “Everybody felt that if you were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, you would not want Nidal Hasan in your foxhole.”

And:

Hasan had been a trouble spot on officials’ radar since he started training at Walter Reed, six years earlier. Several officials confirm that supervisors had repeatedly given him poor evaluations and warned him that he was doing substandard work.

Both fellow students and faculty were deeply troubled by Hasan’s behavior — which they variously called disconnected, aloof, paranoid, belligerent, and schizoid. The officials say he antagonized some students and faculty by espousing what they perceived to be extremist Islamic views. His supervisors at Walter Reed had even reprimanded him for telling at least one patient that “Islam can save your soul.”

Participants in the spring meeting and in subsequent conversations about Hasan reportedly included John Bradley, chief of psychiatry at Walter Reed; Robert Ursano, chairman of the Psychiatry Department at USUHS; Charles Engel, assistant chair of the Psychiatry Department and director of Hasan’s psychiatry fellowship; Dr. David Benedek, another assistant chairman of psychiatry at USUHS; psychiatrist Carroll J. Diebold; and Scott Moran, director of the psychiatric residency program at Walter Reed, according to colleagues and other sources who monitor the meetings.

Yep, his brand of crazy was the worst-kept secret in the history of treasonous crazy. And yet, the shame that cannot be named, kept everyone from acting on the obvious: The Army had a psychopathic, Islamofascist nutjob in their midst.

    I’m just waiting for fuster to come tell us how he was wrong and we were all correct in the past threads about this terrorist and how the last few decades of PC’ness cause this guy to NOT be booted out.

    For those of us that have actually BEEN in the Military and actually BEEN in Combat – we saw ALL the writing on the walls and in between the lines in all the stories about everything we are reading about now. Most of us knew all this the hours and days after this happened. It started when the MSM’s wouldn’t report his name.

    But of course fuster said we were all wrong and all sorts of other names. The sad part is fuster doesn’t even know WHY we knew all this stuff. He won’t believe we know – because we’ve SEEN it before.
