The Daqduq Disgrace Obama releases a terrorist rather than send him to Gitmo

[seekthetruth]

One of the most widely photographed acts of President Obama's first year in office was his symbolic pre-dawn salute to the caskets of U.S. soldiers returning to Dover Air Force Base. In the case of a terrorist named Ali Musa Daqduq, who was released yesterday from U.S. custody in Iraq, the President is letting down those fallen soldiers and their families.

Daqduq is a Lebanese national and top Hezbollah operative who in January 2007 masterminded the ambush, kidnapping and murder of five American soldiers in the Iraqi city of Karbala. Arrested by U.S. forces in Basra two months later, Daqduq ...

Under The Cover Of Darkness Our Fighting Men and Women

by Congressman Allen West on Monday, December 19, 2011 at 12:43pm

Under the cover of darkness our fighting Men and Women departed Iraq. As well, under the cover of media silence a Hezbollah terrorist and killer of American Soldiers, Daqduq, has been released from US Custody. Then why does US Army 1LT Michael Behenna remain in US Custody? This is unacceptable and a tragic slap in the face to Americans. Does America have a Commander-in-Chief? Funny, President Obama did not mention any of this before those Warriors at Ft Bragg.

I encourage everyone to read this Wall Street Journal Op-ed.

God Bless Congressman Allen West!

We Floridians know we have a representative in Congress who really stands with our Military!

[laweeks]

We're dealing with an impostor in our White House who is a very devout muslim and who is very anti-American. I'm not the least bit surprised.

Wait till the idiot loses the election next year, and watch what he does with his pardon pen.

This illegal alien impostor is absolutely disgusting.

A slap in the face of the families of our Soldiers who were kidnapped, tortured and murdered by this monster. Another slap in the face to all our brave men and women who wear the uniform. This administration and their pandering to terrorists is despicable, ie, this terrorist couldn't be tried because of interrogation methods used! This is maddening and disgusting when we are more concerned about how we treat brutal savages than protecting our troops as they protect us! Iran, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, they are laughing at us!

I ask folks to ask Presidential candidates they come in contact with, what is their position on this insane and cruel policy of “catch and release”. Ask them if they will put the Leavenworth cases under a microscope and release those Soldiers who shouldn't be there! lst Lt Michael Behenna sits in Leavenworth as a result of the catch and release policy. The present Campaigner-in-Chief is a disgrace. It is my hope November 2012 will be a joyous time when the American people toss Obama out of our White House and his only mention will be of the most shameful chapter in American history!

Is It America's Official Policy To Release Terrorists?!

The Ballad of Michael Behenna by Chad Evan Todd

http://www.ourstage.com/tracks/PIQPHPCJXXDD-the-ballad-of-michael-behenna

http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/ChadEvanTodd
Michael Behenna is currently serving 15 years (reduced from 25 years) in Leavenworth prison, in part because of America’s “catch and release” policies:

What is America’s “catch and release” policy?

It’s when American and NATO forces capture Taliban members only to watch them walk away free. (This occurred in Iraq as well).

As Sara Carter of the Washington Examiner reported, in the words of one our soldiers:

“It’s as if the Taliban have more rights than us or the people of Afghanistan,” said Specialist Charles Brooks, 26, a U.S. Army medic with 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, in Zabul province. “We have to let these guys go all the time no matter what they do, and then we find them trying to hit us again. But if they think I’ve screwed up once, then they’ll [the military] have no problem throwing me to the wolves,” Brooks said.

It gets worse.

Taliban soldiers are instantly set free when a village elder signs “the pledge,” a piece of paper that vouches for them. That’s it. That’s not an option for an American serviceman serving time for combat related convictions here at home.

As the New York Times reported May, 2010:

“The young Taliban prisoner was led blindfolded to a sweltering military tent, seated among 17 village elders and then, eyes uncovered, faced a chief accuser brandishing a document with the elders’ signatures or thumbprints. Capt. Scott A. Cuomo, a United States Marine commander… told the prisoner: “This letter right here is a sworn pledge from all of your elders that they’re vouching for you and that you will never support the Taliban or fight for the Taliban ever again.” … the captain rendered the group’s judgment on the silent prisoner, Juma Khan, 23, whom the Marines had seized after finding a bomb trigger device, ammunition and opium buried in his yard… “So on behalf of peace, your family, your grandfather,” Captain Cuomo solemnly said, “we’re going to let you go.”

That's right, Taliban members, terrorists, insurgents — SET FREE.

Why are terrorists, who have admitted to killing our Soldiers, released while brave Soldiers such as lst Lt Michael Behenna sit in Leavenworth? What message does the US military send when we punish our own Soldiers more harshly than we punish the combatants who have killed and maimed our brave men and women on the frontline?

In addition to the insane, cruel and counterproductive “catch and release” policy, please, take the time to read this article by Diana West on COIN.

http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/1913/Are-COIN-Foot-Patrols-Winning-Afghan-Trust-or-Just-Losing-American-LImbs.aspx

Below is a quote:

“The counterinsurgency tactic that is sending U.S. soldiers out on foot patrols among the Afghan people, rather than riding in armored vehicles, has contributed to a dramatic increase in arm and leg amputations, genital injuries and the loss of multiple limbs following blast injuries. “

What are America’s policy makers thinking? How many more servicemen will senselessly die, be maimed for life, or sit in prison after serving under these deadly and senseless policies?

Do we as Americans really wonder why so many of our Soldiers suffer from PTSD? The question is why haven’t our elected leaders and policy makers done something about it?

Now, just yesterday, it was reported that Obama is about to release Ali Musa Daqduq, a brutal Hezbolla terrorist who killed 5 American Soldiers, 4 of these Heroes he kidnapped and tortured before he killed them.

And this is just a partial list of this scathing catch and release policy by this administration!!!

It is my hope that Chad's song will be a huge hit and will be played on radio stations all across America. For the last two years Michael's mother and I have been up on the hill and we have knocked on so many Congressmen’s doors, yet the catch and release policy and COIN still prevails. Meanwhile more Taliban soldiers walk free simply on a “pledge.” Through Chad's song, I believe that Michael Behenna’s story will finally be heard and Americans will be outraged, and they will demand that these cruel and insane policies that are hurting our military be stopped! My Son served 4 deployments with the 82nd Airborne, he is a Bronze Star Recipient. I regard lst Lt Army Ranger Michael Behenna my Son, they are all our Sons and Daughter who serve. There is a line in the song “The Battle of Michael Behenna and it goes like this:

A fine young Soldier sits in Leavenworth tonight,

“Step up and lend your voice

To the right side of right

There's something worth doing something about,

Let the voice of truth lead the way

and lead Michael out!

Free Michael Behenna!

We all need to help support Congressman Allen West bring attention to the terrible problems our troops face, with the Obama Catch & Release policy! Obama sees to it that known terrorists are allowed to go free to fight our soldiers again!

Pinging Virginia Freeper Patriots!

[seekthetruth]

I certainly agree!

I believe when the American public learns about Obama’s Catch & Release policy and how terrorists go free while Michael Behenna sits in Leavenworth, they will demand that Michael be freed!

Seek,
I think the world of Colonel West.
BUT I am afraid he is in for trouble during re-election.
His is a very liberal district most usually, and the Dems are targeting him as well as Marco Rubio as the Dems fear these two can blow away their plantation for blacks and latins.
Throw in a whole passel of Jews who ALWAYS vote Dem and if they can come up with a respectable candidate then the colonel may have dificulty.

White House Stands by Biden Statement That Taliban Isn’t U.S. Enemy
Foxnews ^ | Dec 19, 2011 | Fox

Posted on Tuesday, December 20, 2011 3:57:32 AM by driftdiver

The White House on Monday defended Vice President Joe Biden for saying that the Taliban isn’t an enemy of the United States despite the years spent fighting the militant Islamic group that gave a home to Al Qaeda and its leader Usama bin Laden while he plotted the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

“It’s only regrettable when taken out of context,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said of the vice president’s remarks in an interview published Monday.

“It is a simple fact that we went into Afghanistan because of the attack on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. We are there now to ultimately defeat Al Qaeda, to stabilize Afghanistan and stabilize it in part so that Al Qaeda or other terrorists who have as their aim attacks on the United States cannot establish a foothold again in that country,” Carney continued.

During Biden’s interview with Newsweek last week, the vice president said it’s “good enough” for the U.S. if Afghanistan stops being a “haven for people who do damage and have as a target the United States of America” and its allies. He added that the U.S. is supportive of a reconciliation process between the Afghan government and the Taliban even if it’s questionable whether a reconciliation is possible.

“Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical,” Biden said

America has a cowardly communist as commander in chief. That explains everything he does. America has never seen anything as bad as the Soros-Obama team.

You wanted “Change” America.

You got it. :(

Charge Obama with violation of his oath of office and treason -and fraud.He can't even prove he's a citizen, much less a natural born one.

[seekthetruth]

Why can't we run this man for President?

Well, we could if Congressman West would agree. He has made it known that he wants to remain in Congress so he will have VERY ACTIVE support to that end from my hubby and me. We learned about Allen West back in 08 during his first run for Congress, and we do hope to see him in our White House one day! California Freeper ping here. Please read post #4.
