Jihadist battle cry is called ‘speculation' (San Antonio Express-News)

FORT HOOD — One of the most sensational allegations stemming from last week's shooting spree at Fort Hood was a claim that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar!” before firing into scores of soldiers at a large post processing center ...

A spokesman for the post, asked to clarify comments made last week by Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the Fort Hood commander, who suggested that Hasan issued the jihadist battle cry, called it “speculation.”

“The supposed shouted quote is still a matter of speculation and under investigation by CID,” Bruce E. Zielsdorf said. “Lt. Gen. Cone is correct in saying he'd heard such reports, but without audiovisual documentation of the incident, it is still an issue to be addressed through the investigative process, and we will do nothing to jeopardize that effort.”

The post has offered no hard evidence that Hasan uttered those words or shown that witnesses have confirmed it independently of each other before word spread around the post and in the media ...

one variation of Jihad is to first warn the enemy, Hasan did warn his fellow co-workers in a round table at the hospital.. in a lecture about islam and why they needed to convert. the meeting was supposed to be about medical topics.. it was said he really freaked out the staff

as to what he shouted...

So that's what the nation spoon-fed by the lying ass media will believe. :sarcasm:<-if needed

6. In an interview that aired Monday, Foster,

who refused to discuss the incident in a news conference Sunday, said he couldn't be certain the shooter said those exact words, explaining that “with that much adrenaline, you tend to forget things.”

Memory is a malleable thing,especially in stressful situations.

9. Remember how many rumors were reported as truth at Columbine?

The fact is, in a crazy situation like that, people might think they heard or saw things they didn't actually see.

10. I've seen interviews with witnesses who stated he said that

That article is garbage. BTW, does it really matter what he shouted?

The left wing hippies want to deny/cover up what he said that at all costs because they don't want to offend any Muslims.
The right wing inbreds want to confirm it so they can encourage others to do harm to Muslims.

Go figure. :eyes:

11. Hippies? Are you stuck in a time warp? And the only cover up in this case

is the Pentagon covering up all the trouble reports they ignored about this person.
