Bledsoe: We believe that we have to strike back
Before a gag order was in place on Monday, Carlos Bledsoe or Abdulhakim Muhammad or whatever his name is today, the murderer of PVT William Long in Little Rock last week, made a statement to Associated Press;
I do feel I’m not guilty. I don’t think it was murder, because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason.
Mr. Muhammad, 23, said he wanted revenge for claims that American military personnel had desecrated copies of the Koran and killed or raped Muslims. “For this reason, no Muslim, male or female, sane or insane, little, big, small, old can accept or tolerate,” he said.
He said the U.S. military would never treat Christians and their Scriptures in the same manner.
“U.S. soldiers are killing innocent Muslim men and women. We believe that we have to strike back. We believe in eye for an eye. We don’t believe in turning the other cheek,” he said.
Asked whether he considered the shootings at the recruiting center an act of war, Mr. Muhammad said, “I didn’t know the soldiers personally, but yes, it was an attack of retaliation. And I feel that other attacks, not by me or people I know, but definitely Muslims in this country and others elsewhere, are going to attack for doing those things they did,” especially desecrating the Koran.
Especially desecrating the Koran? Like the story that Newsweek had to retract?
“We believed our story was newsworthy because a U.S. official said government investigators turned up this evidence,” Whitaker wrote. “But we regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst.”
Feel any guilt, Newsweek?
As far as his statement, I agree with DrewM;
No wonder Obama and the left don’t want to talk about it. They can’t spin this as some wannabe big talker who has no connection to Islam.
They want to keep this guy buried and quiet otherwise he might remind Americans that there’s still a war out there and our enemies are doing their best to bring it to our streets.
Nothing from the White House yet, but there’s a resolution working it’s way through the House Judiciary Committee, I hear. The wording is fairly tame, but at least it’s something. Something we won’t get from this White House.

Nice, and people still wonder why we do not release those photos.
What is interesting is the evolution of this story as it relates to the left wing sites like DU and others. When the story first broke, it was more or less a shooting at a Little Rock strip mall. The knee jerk reaction from DUmbasses was classic DU; typical anti-gun rants popped up immediately along with speculation on what was located at the mall…abortion clinic or Planned Parenthood office were among the first suggestions in the aftermath of their newest martyr, Dr. Tiller, being killed. As details filtered out, the topic dwindled away. In fact, there was precious little spoken on it, the bulk of the outrage still being churned up over Tiller’s murder and the murderer himself. Even today, a quick scan shows a plethora of threads on the closing of Tiller’s abortion mill, several related to our coming socialist style medical system, and numerous threads praising Jon Stewart and that other dipshit whatshisname on the generously self-styled “Comedy” Channel. The only military themed threads? Bitching about Obama’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” crap, a thread showing some US Army officer going ape-shit on a group of Iraqi policemen, and someone is attempting to discover if Obama will have to face any US vets in the 2012 election. The silence is deafening on this one because there’s no right-wing boogeyman to pin it to.
Yep…. they have a hard time dealing with truth.
Claymore-
I could not agree with you more. The silence IS deafening. I have been chastised by the same friend I mention in the post here “War, Service and Sacrifice” because I dare wonder if he will saber- rattle or DO something about North Korea. Fucking amazing.
OOps! “He” being the COWboy President…
Well – never have I metted this fellow being now in the prison, but would he be upset to learn that in my country – as I do here also – we always use his quran, or koran or whatever, to wipe our holy asses after we make a holy dump? We mean no disrespect, and if we could, we would use pictures of Mohammud, but cannot find them outside of the tourist souvenier stands in Pakistan…
Try ‘im and fry ‘im.
I love that video of the Soldier tearing up the Iraqis. He makes a mistake when he scolds the leadership in public. Better to have done that in private. Very sensitive to public humility. But awesome speech.
