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.

I think that is what he was in his later Yoko Ono days. In his younger days he was a brilliant songwriter/singer. Long live the Beatles.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
This should be a day free from ALL this kind of crap, but when I awoke this morning, I realized that we are still in the real world and there is no escape.
This is bam’s “Thanksgiving message” to our troops. It just turns my stomach, as does just about everything associated with this arrogant, classless piece of walking trash.
*************************************************
Obama sends Thanksgiving message to US military
(AFP) – 20 hours ago

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama sent Wednesday a Thanksgiving message of thanks and support to the US military and all those hurting financially in what he said had been “a tough year for America.”

“I want to wish a happy Thanksgiving to every service member at home or in harm’s way,” Obama said in a brief speech outside the White House on the eve of Thanksgiving, which falls this Thursday.

“We’re proud of you and we are thinking of you and we’re praying for you.

“As we give thanks for our security, let’s in turn thank those who’ve sacrificed to make it possible, wherever they may be,” he said, saying he was honored to serve as “commander-in-chief of the finest military in the world.”

Obama also spared a thought for the “many members of our American family (who) are hurting” as the United States weathers a difficult period economically with unemployment at a 26-year high.

“There’s no question this has been a tough year for America. We’re at war. Our economy is emerging from an extraordinary recession into recovery.

“On this quintessentially American holiday, as we give thanks for what we’ve got, let’s also give back to those who are less fortunate,” Obama said.

The First Family was due later Wednesday to deliver two Thanksgiving turkeys to Martha’s Table, a non-profit that provides food, clothing and educational opportunities to the needy in Washington.
*****************************************

Two turkeys? Are you effing kidding me???
They MUST be talkin’ about him and his nasty mate.
Two turkeys indeed.
HE’S honored???
And then there is this:
http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7017106222

Compare any of it to his oversolicitous grand “greeting” to the muslims attending the freaking hadj.
I can’t stand it.

And then remember this:

Bush Makes Surprise Visit to Troops in Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Turkey with the commander in chief was a surprise Thanksgiving treat for American troops in Baghdad Thursday.

President Bush flew in under the cover of darkness to dine with U.S. forces at a Baghdad International Airport mess hall. It was the first trip ever by an American president to Iraq — a mission tense with concern about his safety.

With the president out of sight, L. Paul Bremer, the chief U.S. civilian administrator, told the soldiers it was time to read the president’s Thanksgiving proclamation and that it was a task for the most senior official present.

“Is there anybody back there more senior than us?” he asked. That was the cue for Bush, who promptly stepped forward from behind a curtain, setting off pandemonium among the troops.

“I was just looking for a warm meal somewhere,” Bush joked to some 600 soldiers from the 1st Armored Division and the 82nd Airborne Division, who were stunned by the appearance and applauded wildly while giving Bush a standing ovation.

“Thanks for inviting me. I can’t think of finer folks to have Thanksgiving dinner with than you all.”

“We thank you for your service, we’re proud of you, and America stands solidly behind you,” Bush said. And he urged the people of Iraq to “seize the moment and rebuild your great country based on human dignity and freedom.”

Soldiers at the dinner spoke enthusiastically about Bush.

“He’s got to win in ‘04. No one else can prosecute this war like he can,” said Army Capt. John Morrison from Butler County, Pa. Said PFC1 Kyle Crittenden of Humboldt County, Calif.: “I’m proud to serve in his Army.”
*********************************
I could post a zillion pictures of a REAL Commander in Chief, but the words of the Serviceman in the last paragraph says it all.

Lord, in Your great and infinite wisdom, please grant us reprieve from this onslaught of evil.
Amen.
GOD BLESS AMERICA...AGAIN SOON.
I am in tears.

And a HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you, too, MestaMachine.

We just finished a wonderful breakfast with our family and I sneaked away to peek at FR and saw your ping (thank you).

I promised myself that I wouldn’t even think about BO today but instead concentrate on the blessings that I and my family received this past year.

But then reality sets in and as you pointed out, “we are still in the real world”.

I remember when President Bush made his surprise visit to the troops and how good it made me feel.

THAT’S the feeling I’m holding on to today.

May God bless our troops and protect them wherever they are.

And may God bless and watch over America...we really need Him.

This is so outrageous .. I was screaming at my TV when I heard it.

A great Navy Seal was living at a residence for seniors with Alzheimer’s, and he was such a special man. He was the lead DI at Coronado’s Navy Seal Training facility. It was a very sad day at our facility when he passed away.

Gates better step up to the plate and stop this insane attack upon our military BY THE DEMOCRATS and ESPECIALLY THIS ANTI-MILITARY PRESIDENT. Obama is not the CIC - he’s the community organizer who always protested anything to do with the military. This is just disgraceful.

CBS just took it to a whole nother level with the title of its article. Then again, what do you expect from the company that brought us Dan Rather and Katie Couric?

Happy Thanksgiving back to you! Praise God for all the blessings He has bestowed on this land. I am so thankful to have been born into freedom and liberty. I am so thankful for our Military and all they have bled and died for to keep us free. Finally, I'm so thankful to God to be friends with such great patriots as yourselves.:-p
