WHERE IN THE WORLD IS WASSEF ALI HASSOUN?

Surprise, surprise. Wassef Ali Hassoun, the Lebanon-born Muslim Marine who claimed to have been kidnapped and then was charged with desertion, has disappeared again. From FOX News:
Hassoun had been on leave with his family in West Jordan, Utah, when he was scheduled to return to Camp Lejeune (search), N.C., on Tuesday, military officials told FOX News. As of 3 p.m. EST, Hassoun's command "officially declared him a deserter and issued authorization for civil authorities to apprehend Hassoun and return him to military control," a military statement said.
I would take everything the family says with a grain of salt. Hassoun's relatives apologized to fellow Arabs and issued a statement "saying he was forced to go to the United States and join the Marines because of the deteriorating economic situation caused by Lebanons 1975-90 civil war." Hassoun's neighbors in West Jordan, Utah are rightly disgusted. AP reports: One neighbor, Cheree White, whose husband's 30-year military career included 15 as a Marine, said Hassoun was ''using the country.''
Oh, CAIR, CAIR, would you care to comment? Or will you find away to blame anti-Muslim bigotry for Hassoun's actions, too? Hmmm? |
Why was this jerk let out of the Brig when he had charges pending against him.
The charges were desertion no less!!
This guy is a renegade.
The only punishment for him is a blinfold, a cigarette and six marksmen.
Not a flight risk? Gads.
