Defense: Seeing his commander in chief turn a Muslim convert deserter into a national hero, another Muslim soldier a double deserter has finally turned himself in. He deserves no leniency.
Following in the footsteps of Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl, Marine deserter Wassef Ali Hassoun has resurfaced in Virginia after years of faking his own kidnapping in Iraq. Like Bergdahl, Hassoun appears to have collaborated with the enemy.
An Arabic translator, he refused to translate questions about Islam and showed jihadist clerics undue respect during interrogations. Later he abandoned his guard post at his base in Fallujah during the critical offensive that cost the lives of dozens of his fellow Marines.
And yet, despite the overwhelming evidence against this quisling, he's been allowed to go free as a bird under this administration. Now that military authorities have him in custody, will the administration court-martial him? Or will it give him a pass, like Bergdahl?
It's no coincidence that Hassoun waited until now to turn himself in. He sees that the political climate is favorable to deserters.
Several members of Bergdahl's unit say he deserted his Afghan post and ran to the Taliban, yet Obama pretended he was a mistreated hostage in order to secure a treacherous deal with the Taliban. And the Army still has brought no desertion charges against him.
While the evidence against Bergdahl is strong, the evidence against Hassoun is even stronger.
Seven days after his 2004 disappearance from a Marine camp in Fallujah, a photo of a blindfolded Hassoun with a sword poised above his head turned up on Al-Jazeera TV. He claimed to have been kidnapped by Islamic terrorists who demanded the release of jihadists held at Gitmo and other U.S. prisons.
But the whole thing was staged.

Meanwhile, the Tyrant tonight is THREATENING doctors
and nurses with jail for using the 1st Amendment,
and celebrating the murder of an American in Israel,
and the spreading of incurable diseases throughout the
USA by the DH”S”-escorted “children”.
Yep, a day seldom passes that the turkey doesn’t perform or support criminal acts against our country.
Prosecute? He’s a Deserter and a Muslim... to the Left that means he’s a damn SUPER HERO!!!
He’ll probably get a medal, his face on a coin and 68 Billion dollars in reparations.
Depends ... if he defected to Sunnis he won’t prosecute a brother; however, it he defected to the Shitty bunch then he is in deep shitty.
All the soldiers who served with him are liars, the people in the White House are the only ones who really know what happened.

Yep, that’s what his WH lapdogs would have everyone believe.
Wow. This is the first I heard of this deserter in years. Funny the media is not trumpeting his return...
Silly Americans, why don’t you just submit to dhimmitude like king obama wants you to.
I hear you...The Media should be all over this on Hassoun as a deserter, I guess the enemedia is still too in love with the muslim in the WH.
Another deserter ping.
