Hah! Good for you! Maybe you should send them this one as well!
No, you are not missing anything.
They would use a space alien to bash President Bush if they could get away with it.
I like to use the title "President" because it makes the d.u.ers that monitor this forum grind and grit their teeth in anger.
Minor, in Journalism school did you ever here this:
"If your mother says she loves you, check it out"?
Isnt that something that are part of your professional standards, supposedly drummed into you in Journalism 1A?
If we Freepers were as slovenly on our jobs as Professional Journalists are in theirs, wed be unemployed within a fortnight.
BTTT
So they're admitting they just took his word for it.
Sorry. They don't take Bush's word for anything, so everybody's got to be completely verified, too.
I have sent this story, along with other information that I have gathered on Ahmad to AuthentiSeal.
When I talked to AuthentiSeal on Sunday, we just laughed that this guy wouldn't give just his BUD/S Class Number. I believe he is a fake. Your Class number is unclassified information.
Not just being a SEAL, but also that he retired at the rank he told someone that he had.
There have only been ten in the entire history of the USN. Their pictures are on the web, and none were wearing a Trident, or listed being a SEAL in their bio.
"Amateur's" prove them wrong every damn day of the week.......truth is just not something they are capable of telling. Watching them swoon over the gun grabbers gutshot grief is just sickening..........socialists have captured the media, the schools and the minds of the sheeple.
...
Stay safe !
Hey, it's Monday. ; )
Good one
You seem to be missing the point.
The attack is on the AP reporter for not checking his facts. (Rather and 60 Minutes ring a bell?) AP is notorious for it's anti-Bush bias (hear any booing in the crowd?), and this reporter deserves to be 'outed' for not checking his facts before going with this story.
I promise I'll be on the ball by Thursday ... don't boot me out of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy yet!
They don't care how stupid THEY look...but they do care how stupid they can make Pres Bush look!
You're a Charter Member after all. We're not going anywhere!
He changed his name. OK. So why not ask what his former name was? Why does he want to keep it a mystery?
I have contacted AuthentiSeal again. I talked to them yesterday. All Ahmad has to do is give his Class number. That is not classified information.
The retired SEAL that I talked to is from Class 24. There were only 260 SEALs that served in the ten year Vietnam War. Someone has to know this guy if he's for real.
I have a lot of patience in matters dealing with honor.
If anyone is interested in finding out more, it appears he is an alumnus of Albany State University, although I have yet to find anytihing mentioning his original name.
"This only took a couple of minutes time for 'amateurs' on Free Republic to check out. The 'professional' journalists at the AP must have been to busy to do this basic checking."
In an interview with WorldNetDaily, however, Minor says he has no reason to disbelieve Majied's story.
"I really trust this guy," he said. "I believe he's a real straight shooter."
Minor says Majied didn't give him his previous name, "and I didn't press the matter."
The vet has received "nasty calls" since the issue has been publicized, Minor says, adding, "This is a very peaceful guy. There's a peace about his voice."
Minor says Majied home schools his seven children. "These are really upstanding people," he told WND.
I shouldnt do this, Ill probably get in mucho trouble, but every word my Band of Bothers Majied says is true.
I too am a Navy Seal, a Green Beret and an Army Ranger too, and some other things I cant tell you about, hush, hush and all that.
Anyway, Majied was a straight shooter and very peaceful man, we used him extensively.
When we were on secret missions, wed use our inflatable boats and land on shore, sometimes wed have 6, 8 or even a dozen boats. Majied was our specialist in charge of holding the bow lines (ropes) of the boats while we completed our secret missions. Nobody could hold the ropes like my brother in arms Majied! After 5 grueling years of holding ropes, Majied found Islam and rotated out of the service.
/sarcasm and lies, and apologies to Majied if he really was a Navy Seal.
But he can't because he wasn't, he's just another liar.
Another liar the MSM is happy to use to smear Bush.
At least your screen name is spelled correctly.
