bin Laden still dead and feeding the fish
Sporkmaster sends us this CNN video of Dan Choi in his dress blues at Ground Zero this morning it begins at about 7:40 if you don’t want to sit through all of the CNN blather;
Of course, he makes it more about himself than about the moment.
In loosely related news, Jeff Schogol of Stars and Stripes wants us to know that they’ve aggregated all of their bin Laden links on one page for your research convenience.
Then there’s the news of the guy who accidentally tweeted the raid on bin Laden’s compound.
Michelle Malkin points out who’s really politicizing the death of bin Laden.
The Jawa Report’s Rusty Shackelford writes about NY’s Islamists who congratulate bin Laden on the event of his martyrdom.
Barney Franks, on Think Progress says that bin Laden’s death “strengthens the case” for cutting and running from Afghanistan.
Hamas is upset while the Abbas government welcomes the news.
Islamic clerics question the burial at sea. Tough…we pwned bin Laden and we could do what we wanted with his rotting corpse.

The islamic clerics should be happy we didn’t wrap his corpse in a hog carcass before feeding him to the fish (I had thoughts of a pastry bag or caulking gun full of Armour lard in strategic areas, but that’s just me).
Hamas and Musharref are bitching about the whole thing, too. Fuck ’em.
I did a double take when Choi is on the screen. I mean who is outside at 2 am in full dress that just happened to be on the scene. I was thinking about videotaping the footage but figured that someone else would have done it. Though considering he is the anti-DADT poster child that he would have had a better quality video. To make it worse I am not sure that the CNN guy had any clue who Choi is.
Musharaff can join Osama (a.k.a. “Shark Shit”) anytime. He’s got NO value to the U.S. anymore and we’d be more than happy to arrange a reunion with the guy his country has sheltered for the past five years.
OMG. Let me throw on my Dress Blues and run downtown Pittsburgh and maybe I can use this occasion to get my face on the news and my feel good pat on the back. What a total ass.
Still wearing the rank and being referred to as LT. That pisses me off.
And the only guy that shows up to a impromptu celebration like that in full dress uniform is guy looking for free booze or to get laid.
Thanks Jonn, was considering a similar compilation.
Think “Mission Accomplished” and BOHICA in one fell swoop.
The one rather non-trivial thing I can’t account for is just how long we’ve had this actionable intel?
That the weasels come out and claim credit is not new(s), really.
Is Dan Choi still on active duty or in the reserves? If not, then he is NOT a Lieutenant. And what’s all this “waering Dress Blues”?
Paraphrasing the regs:
Always proper: After separation, it is appropriate to wear your uniform during Reserve duty.
Sometimes proper: Under certain conditions, you may wear your uniform as a civilian. Generally, if you served honorably, you may wear your uniform: For military weddings, funerals, memorial services, or inaugural ceremonies. For patriotic parades on national holidays and for any military parades. For ceremonies in which a U.S. active or Reserve unit is taking part.
Never proper: Never wear the uniform under circumstances that would detract from its prestige or tend to discredit the Armed Forces (such as attending a totalitarian or subversive function or while engaging in a business activity). Also, it is against the law for unauthorized persons to wear a uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces.
As far as I know, Choi was discharged last year – he was unsuccessfully trying to enlist at the Times Square recruiting station when Obama first rescinded the DADT policy.
Wow, the DUmmies think all the SEALs did was kill an old man with kidney problems who did nothing wrong

While having a cold one with my wife today seh remarked that OBL is now Cod Fodder, I can’t think of a better way of putting it.
Wow, I mean i know some guys that threw on some DCUs and ACUs, because it was a moment of intense pride, but full dress blues? and since when was Choi “very important”?
the down side is that now every fruit cake will take it as a sure sign that its time to leave, and forget the fact that every time we pull out the consequences are extreme.
I would have thought sex-ed 101 would have taught these people that pulling out is not an effective method. 😛
Doc Bailey,
Maybe, considering he’s breaking the rules, he’s not interested in pulling out, but playing “Cops & Rubbers.”
You are a very bad boy, DaveO….I like it! 8)
