Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
Fox News ^ | Tuesday, November 24, 2009 | By Rowan Scarborough

Posted on 11/24/2009 11:45:09 AM PST by Terrence DoGood

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And for their trouble, three of the SEALs, members of the Navy's elite commando unit, are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

There were two callers on Rush today that I heard. The first one was, I think, a SEAL. The 2nd one was associated with retrieving/obtaining security secrets for the military. The 2nd one said that these charges were “payback” for the killing of the pirates when rescuing the captain. He said that this administration is very vindictive and has a long memory.

"I plead ignorance. Who is that?"

It's prissy Rahm Emanuel from his ballet days.

Now, let's look at a side by side comparison.;)

“okay that’s the male helen thomas photo right thar.”

LOL! Hey, we have to keep our appetite for tomorrow. Stop that!

I'm starting to believe that this is related to the actions and policies of wimpy little liberals like Obama, Emanuel, Gibbs, Sunstein, etc. etc. etc. and their man-hating female counterparts attempting to emasculate, disarm and punish more capable males then themselves. The group listed above would have been the first on the life boats on the Titanic and the first to run an hide if they were put into a combat situation. Pathetic little boys.

Many of my friends are trying very hard to get out of the military. None will recommend it.

No point in dying for a political game.

If that is anywhere close to true, I would personally like to inform this white tent operation that many of us out here have long memories too, and we are taking names, but NO PRISONERS!
Nothing lasts forever, but we sure can make it seem that way. These people are going down. Not today, maybe, but it will happen, and when it does, their names will be etched in history as the most evil administration this country has ever known.

I pray that they will be with us when we will need their help in saving our country, in whatever capacity they see fit.

God bless us all.

The Aisle Seat
Two Radical Arab Terrorists boarded a flight out of London . One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat.. Just before takeoff, a U.S. Marine sat down in the aisle seat.

After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, ‘I need to get up and get a coke.’ Don’t get up,’ said the Marine, ‘I’m in the aisle seat, I’ll get it for you.’

As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marine’s shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, ‘That looks good, I’d really like one, too.’

Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marine’s other shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.

As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. He leaned over and asked his Arab neighbors...

‘Why does it have to be this way?’ ‘How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?’
