On March 31, 2004, a small convoy guarded by four American civilian contractors was ambushed at Fallujah, Iraq, and the guards were killed. The bodies of the four Blackwater security guards were burnt, hacked, and two of the mutilated bodies were hung for display on a bridge over the Euphrates river.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that in a macabre and murderous town fete, locals cheered as one corpse was attached to a car tow rope and pulled triumphantly up and down the main road .
The article noted that In terms of its sheer bestial violence, the attack on the Blackwater operatives was unprecedented .
The ambush, and desecration of the bodies were all videotaped by Islamic extremists, and subsequently disseminated world-wide as anti-American propaganda...

It would have been better. This is not a game.
Who ever signs the order needs to be hounded to distraction and know that a fat lip is school yard concern. Someone needs to grow up and take one for the team.
No discipline broke down. This is much ado about nothing. This one we can't really blame on Obama - this stink lays at the hands of our military establishment that have become pathetically neutered. So whoever is involved in court-martialling these hero's should be asked to retire. This gives encouragement to our enemies. We can't have this petty crap going on during war.
Lesson learned: Anytime you are going to give the enemy a fat lip, be certain that the blow penetrates a minimum of 6 to 8 inches..... twice.
This stuff is insane.
Exactly - they are TRAINED to do this.
The Seals say they didn't hit him - that's good enough for me.
Not only am I sick to death of seeing these dam* headlines assuming the seals, not the barbarian, are lying - but it is a STRICT rules in journalism NEVER to state that the accused is guilty - but "alleged" - until a court says otherwise.
The dam* lib press are gleefully running with this - none of them even posturing that the Cretin did it himself.
It's criminal enough that,now, with the Traitor in Chiefs new rules of engagement, if a soldier captures a barbarian on the battlefield, has to read him his Mirandas!
Insanity.
The barbarians are going to pull this time and again now - they have a friend in the WH and they know it.
The hell we are.
The rules are changing fast and it appears that PCism has corrupted the highest ranks in the military to the point that our troops not only have to watch for the enemy in front of them but also snipers at their backs.
This is sickening and needs to stop and stop now. It’s a game played by ignorant bastards in Washington but no game where the boots hit the ground.
Et tu?
The seals say they didn't do it. (which is why they wouldn't take the easy way out.)
The barbarian says they did,
One is lying.
Why do YOU and so many others believe the inhuman scum over the seals?
No wonder this country is in such shambles.
This is not good for them or us.
new thread...
Even if they did, So what. They didn't train to be baby sitters or social workers.

Under the obamanation, I can see why he said this. We need to write our congress critters and tell them what we think about this....I would like for the SEALS to know how many people support them..
Exactly...
I'm sure he didn't surrender willingly. When several people are trying to restrain a perp, in this case a terrorist, arms, hands and legs will be flying around. Anyone could get hurt from that. Frankly I could give two $hits if they gave him a bloody lip. They should have beat him to a bloody pulp!!
Today on Rush's show, some former military guy said he heard that these charges were in retaliation for the Navy Seals who failed to follow Obama's rules of engagement in the April shooting of 3 Somali pirates after they took Captain Phillips hostage. I can believe that. Afterall, those shot were muslims, and we all know that Obama has hissy fits when he doesn't get his way.
And it is clear to me his ass points west and his head points east. Maybe not five times a day. But it may be. In fact is likley.
Certainly.
“But if is undertaken putting certain constraints on the people we ask to fight it is a recipe for disaster.”/p>
I agree with you 100%.
“I will repeat this, a fat lip is nothing.”
Sure. Given what the terrorist did, you're right. It's an act of indecency for Mr. Ahmed to file a complaint after he burned the corpses of four Americans and strung them up from a bridge. I agree with you 100%.
“We dont cut peoples heads off on video tape!!! That is who we are dealing with.”
Again I agree. We're dealing with very bad people backed by a militant culture that sanctions if not encourages extreme violence toward outsiders, however that group may be defined at the moment.
This is where we diverge on our opinions:
“But if (war)is undertaken putting certain constraints on the people we ask to fight it is a recipe for disaster.”
The seals weren't fighting the enemy, they were guarding a prisoner. They have rules against punching prisoners, and somebody allegedly broke that rule. The terrorist complained to the Iraqi government, and for some reason they chose to push the allegation. Once the Iraqis pursued the claim of abuse, our military had to investigate. By disciplining a soldier who broke the rules, they are doing the right thing. A breakdown in discipline can lead to the loss of American lives in war, and that is the issue that is at the heart of this case.
A caller to Rush this morning said this was was a payback by the Obama administration for the SEALs who killed the Somali pirates who had kidnapped the American ship captain.
Apparently Zero was not pleased by their heroic actions so he had to make an example of some others to show who is in control.
The caller seemed to know what he was talking about.
No, it's not political correctness. This is a politically unpopular decision. The seals are heroes, and by all accounts, Mr. Assad deserves to be punished for murder and desecration of a corpse, which will be much more severe than a fat lip.
“....it is getting our guys killed.”
How is punishing someone for punching a prisoner getting our guys killed?
“Screw this, they should have shot him on the spot.”
The seals fulfilled their mission, they captured a notorious terrorist. If the military had wanted Mr. Assad dead, he would be dead already.
