This guy is a thoroughly rancid talking head who Fox trots out to throw around nasty shit. See here and here and here and here.
It’s too early to say what the massacre at Foot Hood was–we just don’t have enough reliable information about the mass murderer, Hasan, and his thoughts and motives to say what his intentions were. But, generally, a terrorist act is a small part of a large overall plan. Terrorism usually has large political aims, and a single act doesn’t likely change anything, including even the perpetrator’s goals, if he survives.
If Hasan acted out of extreme emotional stress without any thought as to what his actions meant in a larger context, then I don’t see how you call that ‘terrorism.’ The facts that he was being deployed, was adamantly opposed to it and was increasingly distressed as the date approached probably point in the opposite direction, but we’ll see. Because of the great symbolism attached to terrorists’ acts, the dates they choose to attack are not generally random.
This, for example, is clearly terrorism.
