I'll have the Hypocrisy Special and a glass of Milk please.

Not wanting to beat a dead terrorist to death, so these will by my last words on Osama. I swear on my mama.  I haven't seen this much media coverage and over analysis inundation since Mikey Jackson did too much dope while wearing some kids underoos. The thought just occurred to me, this instant no less, that Bin Laden the king of terrorism, and Micheal Jackson the king of Bad Touch, share a lot of similarities in death. Conspiracy theories abound, mystery shrouds their deaths, and their ardent followers  refuse to believe they cashed in their chips. The biggest similarity, at least in my fucked up as a soup sandwich mind, is the hypocrisy in the reactions to the timely end of two world class shit heels.  In Jacksons case, celebs and devout fans lifted the lover of little boys little smokies to near godlike status. We heard what a wonderful gentle soul he was, despite all of the evidence and payoffs to the contrary. His creativity aside, the guy was a dope fiend and a pedo. Period.

Bin Laden's assassination on the other hand has spurred hypocrisy on levels I don't believe I've ever seen.

The White House is concerned that releasing Bin Ladens death photo will offend Muslims in general, and incite radical Islamists in particular. I hear over and over that Islam is a religion based on love, peace, and saffron grease. Muslims, real Muslims, refute violence and jihads, and flying planes into buildings full of secretaries and stock brokers. At least that's the story we get. If in fact that is the case, then Bin Laden shouldn't be considered a good Muslim in the eyes on non extremist regular Muslims.  As for the radical types. These clowns have decapitated Allah knows how many reporters and contractors, on video, which they posted proudly on Jihadtube, or whatever passes for it. We don't owe this particular group of cave men any courtesy or consideration. We do owe them the same thing that Osama got, which was one to the face and one to the chest. As for pissing them off, I think we accomplished that mission when we raided what passes for a mansion in the middle of nowhere and killed their poster boy.

I say show the picture. Maybe photoshop a little red mustache on him with a caption underneath, Got Jihad? or something. Showing the image of a dead Bin Laden won't make these pricks any more pissed of than they already are.  Obama showed some testicular fortitude, but worrying about offending people who already want us all dead is the equivilant of the previous mentioned testicles ascending quicker than one of those grandpa polar bear club participants taking their first splash in frigid water. We need to be clear, stop trying to bullshit the American public and the world. We never intended to bring Bin Laden out alive. If we had, I've no doubt that the well trained seals could have subdued the unarmed  Arabian version of  Stringbean. We killed him to send a message. Now lets not fuck the message up worrying about PC bullshit. When you shoot someones face off of their head, then manners are kind of a moot point.

Credit where credit is due. Obama made a ballsy call.That said, if not for extreme interrogation there might not have been an end to the hunt for  Bin Laden. While he won't come out and say it was waterboarding or torture, I'm pretty sure that extreme interrogation isn't part of the X games. And this is where the greatest hypocrisy comes into play. The right doesn't want to give too much credit to Obama. Palin for example congratulated Bush, never mentioning Obama. The left, ah, the left. They are stinking up the joint with their self congratulatory fart fest. Many of these rubes called for war crimes prosecution against the Bush administration for torture tactics. Now they are licking their lips from gorging on the Fruit of a poison tree. Which is to say, much, not all, but much of the info that lead to Bin Ladens demise was gained through torture in 2007. The couriers name was obtained from a captive in Gitmo who was tortured. The current administration can downplay it all they want, but the facts are the facts. Here's the rub, if you are claiming torture is wrong, if you feel that the Bush administration is guilty of human rights violations due to those tactics, you can't cheer for the assassination of a guy who was brought down in part from the very tactics you claim are criminal.

Ding Dong the witch is dead. That's a good thing, but lets keep shit in perspective. The world is not one fucking iota safer because of his demise. We assassinated Osama in  his jammies while his wives and kids were in the same house. We shot an unarmed man in the face. I'm good with that. It sends a message. Don't fuck with the bull, you might get the horns. We got him because Obama showed some brass. We got him because Bush showed some brass in the past. I'm not saying we should reintroduce torture as a staple of everyday interrogation tactics. But when thousands of lives are at stake, you do what it takes. This shit ain't checkers, it's chess. We did the right thing. If you believe that, and I do, then you have to concede that Bush did the right thing as well. I never cared for Bush, I think he was a dolt for the most part. I thought Obama was going to be a great President,  I was wrong on that one as well. But I can't fault him on this one. That said, in this particular case, they were right. Both of them. As much as it may taste like shit in your mouth to admit it, to deny it is hypocrisy on a grand scale.
