USS Cole commander blasts transfer of Al Qaeda Gitmo detainees to Saudi Arabia
Fox News ^ | 5/3/16 | Cristina Corbin

Posted on 05/03/2016 9:40:41 AM PDT by Nachum

The man at the helm of the USS Cole when it was attacked by an Al Qaeda cell in 2000 said last month's release of a Guantanamo Bay detainee linked to the bombers denies justice to the 17 people killed aboard the ship.

Kirk Lippold, who was commanding officer of the U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer when suicide bombers aboard a small fishing boat blew a hole in the side of the ship, told FoxNews.com Mashur Abdallah Ahmed al Sabri's release was a mistake.

"I would have liked to have seen him receive a military commission where he was tried, convicted and sentenced and then his suitability for release determined under the laws of armed conflict," Lippold said.

"From the perspective of the American people and my crew, he’s never been held accountable," Lippold added.

Seventeen of Lippold's men were killed in the Oct. 12, 2000 attack, which came as the Cole refueled in the Yemeni port of Aden, nearly a year before Al Qaeda would register its signature attack, on 9/11.

The White Mosque ENCOURAGES Islamic terrorists
worldwide, especially those who murder Americans.

Look no further than USS Cole and Iran, and
the treasonous GOP that remained(s) submissive
to encourage this, every year, every week, every day.

I cursed Obama out yesterday on all the lib Facebook sites and discussed this. None of his brain dead followers knew what I was talking about. I even posted on his White House Facebook. I hope Obama suffers and suffers one day.

Another Navy Seal died recently. No word from Obamatron.. but he was VERY quick for the statement after Prince died.

The islamist-in-chief wants to get the prison population numbers low enough so that bringing them here will appear to be not that big a deal.

No surprise if he pardons and releases all of them before he leaves office, if ever.

At what point does someone call treason? The 0bama admin is not incompetent, nor stupid.

The history books will not look kindly on an opposition party that did nothing.

Not only will those Islamic war criminals all be let free without any accountability by the American Imposter in the White House, but the American Imposter will be let go January 2017 after deliberately destroying this nation with no accountability, and will be a paid contributor on the nightly news continuing on with his destructive pursuits until death do we part.

The only way for peace in our time is the incarceration of, or the elimination of our enemies foreign, and domestic.

Where’s the ‘A’ Team when we need them?

“I hope Obama suffers and suffers one day.”

You are not alone in this. It always brings up the following conundrum:

A Jewish perspective:

A Christian perspective:

MY perspective:

-I hope the bum drops dead.

Evil does prosper look at Hillary and her daughter living in a 10 million Manhattan Condo. Also Hollywood is untouchable. All the money these untalented whores and pimps have yet they never get sick, never have car accidents, never are visited by ISIS. Look at all the events they have and no terror attacks. I can’t figure it out. And they hate our military.

Good.

Of course those on active duty can’t comment, unless like John Singlaub they want to get relieved.

There was a story here (many actually) about a nuclear device being set off in DC. Many of course say what is the down side? I would say what is the down side if one goes off in Hollyqueer?

It was not a "mistake". It was a deliberate act by the voters' choice in both 2008 and 2012. It was a another pissing on the graves and insult to the families of the deceased by the son of a female dog that a majority said, via their votes, they wanted to rule over them. It was another Fyou to the widows, orphans , mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters of the murdered. In summary, it was a lot of things, none good. But , a mistake it was not.

I do not know which I hate the most, Obama, or an Obama voter. After thinking it over, I will go an Obama voter because of the misery they inflicted on me.
