Roger
I agree with your assesment of agencies run amok. You should read the following as to WHY they have run amok. It speaks volums for our current crop of politicians and the reasons why some of our gov agencies are over regulating Americans. Our freedom to fly and politics are intimately entwined. Political correctness is causing us to loose our freedoms. The sooner some of us realize this the better.

Tragedy at Ft Hood
by: Allen West 11/09/2009
Last Thursday, 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood.
My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.
A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units. A military installation is supposed to be a place where our warriors train for war, to serve and protect our nation.
On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against a murderous islamic cult that attempts to call itself a religion.
There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed the vile and determined islamic enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.
We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the pre-shooting stress on the shooter, Major Nida Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence of political correctness intending to portray this islamic cultist as a victim is despicable and un-American. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called, “Pre Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable. I am ashamed these liberal media types are part of our country and spewing this nonsense.
This is not a “lone man caused disaster”. It is what it is......... an islamic jihadist attack.
We have seen this before in March 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station.
We thwarted another islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.
What have we seen done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing. It is as though our media WANTS the violence that the murderous cult of islam brings within this country. Americans will continue to die because of it!
What we see are leaders paralyzed and refusing to confront the issue, islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids....this appears to be the domain of our idiot government leaders no matter the cost to American lives.
Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood. Moreover, he should have been administratively discharged from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been sufficient proof.
However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 dead and 30 wounded but rather the poor islamic shooter. A shooter who we hear was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his nation, and CAIR stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.
We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He then stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Alla Akhbar,” the same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.
No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people. Our Congress should suspend whatever it is doing and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”. islam has no role to play in America. It is a danger to our society and always will be. 1300 years of history proves it!
The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an islamic terrorism issue in America. And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement: they are terrorist apologists, not a civil rights organization.
We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Of course not. Because they aren’t allowed by the murderous cult of islam.
So much for peaceful coexistence.
Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present islamic centric revisionist history in our schools. islam is a poisonous cult with no place in America.
We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.
I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.
Ft Hood suffered an islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial and realize a simple point.
The reality of your enemy must become your own.
Steadfast and Loyal,
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)
