    If you say so.

    I'll ask again, though. Can you please provide a link for political correctness in any way being a reason why this happened?

    Yes, they were both about your completely unprovable assumption that political correctness (and somehow Obama) are at fault for this incident.

    bigtexxx actually has a point.

    If not for political correctness, immigrants, gay marriage, and Roe V. Wade, we can absolutely argue that this tragedy would never have happened.

    Major Hasan's E-Mail: 'I Can't Wait to Join You' in Afterlife


    American Official Says Accused Shooter Asked Radical Cleric When Is Jihad Appropriate?

    By BRIAN ROSS and RHONDA SCHWARTZ
    Nov. 19, 2009


    United States Army Major Nidal Hasan told a radical cleric considered by authorities to be an al-Qaeda recruiter, "I can't wait to join you" in the afterlife, according to an American official with top secret access to 18 e-mails exchanged between Hasan and the cleric, Anwar al Awlaki, over a six month period between Dec. 2008 and June 2009.

    "It sounds like code words," said Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, a military analyst at the Center for Advanced Defense Studies. "That he's actually either offering himself up or that he's already crossed that line in his own mind."

    Other messages include questions, the official with access to the e-mails said, that include when is jihad appropriate, and whether it is permissible if there are innocents killed in a suicide attack.

    "Hasan told Awlaki he couldn't wait to join him in the discussions they would having over non-alcoholic wine in the afterlife," the official said.

    :rolleyes: 18 emails, huh? Doesn't exactly sound like he "snapped under stress".

    "Don't jump to conclusions"....uh yeah, Obama, you're left looking like a complete idiot yet again.

    sigh. I'll repeat this again. If you have to resort to personal insults, you've lost any argument you were engaging in. Let's keep it civil, brah.

    Just because the truth is insulting, only in particular towards you, does not mean I lost any argument or wasn't being civil.




    You happen to lose every argument you engage in because you start off by posting with complete blind ignorance. Ignorance is what causes you to lose every argument you participate in.

    I don't meant to break the flow of the conversation.

    I just found it interesting that in 4 years of selling guns, I've never sold a FN Five-Seven. Then, Hassan uses one in his rampage and in the three weeks since, I've sold four of them.

    At the risk of sounding grotesque could it be that their sudden popularity is due to a real world demonstration of that model's effectiveness?

    So someone calling you an idiot is a personal insult but you calling Obama an idiot isn't?
