9) The stench of this incident and its unanswered questions overpowers even the smell of sulfur down here.

when asked about what he felt after shooting the enemy, his reply was “Recoil”.
I hope that Eddie Ray Routh dies a painful death.

(Shaking head) Only 38 years old – with a wife and two young kids. This guy, so valiant, so brave, so skilled has done so much in service to his country, and to helping others.
That there are idiotic Paulbots out there, jumping up and down with smug glee over Ron Paul’s tweet fills me with such fury.

We are lead to believe, with so little information and scads of unanswered questions, that a disturbed veteran killed two men. One of those men happen to be the exact opposite of Obama: brave, patriot, loving, giving, positive, etc.
I hate what’s happened to me since Since Clinton and Obama; I can actually see how conspiracy theorists get their ideas.
If it happened the way that many of us are thinking is possible, I pray to God that the truth comes out. There seem to be ‘strange’ things happening.

One thing to know about his alleged killer:
Routh had to be tased and subdued in his cell yesterday.
It would not surprise me if he “committeed suicide” before trial.

Yeah, there’s something going on here. A white guy, a veteran, pops our most decorated sniper point blank, (presumably) without provocation, and it’s written off to PTSD? I don’t think so.
From what little I know about PTSD, I’d think it’s disabling, not enraging.
When he comes to trial, follow the money. If it doesn’t lead to Obama, it’ll lead to C.A.I.R.

@ thirdtwin – Think Jack Ruby / Lee Harvey Oswald.

Boobie, Is there any info out there on Routh’s Toxicology test results? I mean, he was tested for mind-altering substances, right? Or was he allowed to stay on the run long enough for some particular drug to leave his system? Could his rage in jail yesterday be the result of him realizing that he’d been set up?
And who was it that put Routh and Kyle together with weapons?

yep another great American hero pushing up dirt, while the community organizer “king” obama is jet setting around the country and world campaigning for world “king” with his wookie wife, waiting to take other real Americans out with drones when they disagree with him!
