Weasel Zippers has a CNN security camera video of the shooter from the same morning. He was wearing Muslim robes in a convenience store.
The teachable moment here is:
An American Woman Took down one of your tiny zib brethern!
An American Woman Stopped Jihad Nidal!
An American Woman Doesnt take shit off any two bit, mealy mouthed, American hating muslim.
A Woman, An American Woman, bested your guy.
God Bless Kim Munley!!! May she have a complete and quick recovery.
Where are the Liberals today Screaming their anti-war credes?
It’s politically incorrect to say anything, but, is it possible that Islam in incompatible with serving in the military?
I know it’s totally politically incorrect to say anything like that, but can we at least ask certain questions in light of this tragedy?
If your religion calls for killing Americans, its probably a good idea to get them out of America.
“Seemed cool, calm, religious”: Was this a campaign endorsement quote from Rev Wright?
Stop calling murderous Muslim monsters “religious”. It’s not a religion, it’s a hateful cult.
Damn... just as I was posting this, CNN.com took it off their home page! Unbelievable, yet not surprising.
Here's another link to the video (I hope this one lasts - someone save it to your hard drive!):

Mark Steyn today is asking why the authorities turned a blind eye to this guy’s obvious radicalism. The guy was promoted in May despite his Islamist attitudes and actions. he made no secret of his sentiments, but his superiors just ignored this.

Awww. What a nice guy. Gee. I feel sorry for him. Why he was under so much stress. Gee. I’d have done the same thing too.
(heavy sarc tag)
1. if his Islamist attitudes were not noted on his OER, then they would not have been a factor in the promotion process.
2. His promotion packet probably went before the promotion board in 2008 or even late 2007, thus his last OER may not have been done at the time the board met.
“He was a quiet man.”
I am sick that they are not blaming the religion that inspired the attack. Perhaps the oxymoron of a Muslim, Army officer and psychiatrist should be examined. Can Muslims really be considered sane enough to treat anybody?

Actually it was Rodney Dangerfield.
