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.

“Otherwise,why would this piece of crap turn this military upside down, demoralize it, deny it, criticize it, and prosecute it for doing its job? Why would this piece of crap, who hates American as it now stands, wish to further destroy it by damning the military?”

Three words: Black Liberation Theology.

That’s what listening to that garbage for 20 years does to you.

Every liberal who supports policies like this should be treated with the utmost cruelty. I won’t even give them the dignity of being referred to as living things. They are pieces of garbage to be taken out back and dumped.

Fine... turn our Spec Ops guys against the leadership.

Now, if only we can send them all copies of Vince Flynn’s “Term Limits.”

Send a bunch to whatever address USSOCOM provides.

At the End of the Day, Diversity Has Jumped the Shark
by Ann Coulter
11/18/2009

It cannot be said often enough that the chief of staff of the United States Army, Gen. George Casey, responded to a massacre of 13 Americans in which the suspect is a Muslim by saying: “Our diversity ... is a strength.”

As long as the general has brought it up: Never in recorded history has diversity been anything but a problem. Look at Ireland with its Protestant and Catholic populations, Canada with its French and English populations, Israel with its Jewish and Palestinian populations.

Or consider the warring factions in India, Sri Lanka, China, Iraq, Czechoslovakia (until it happily split up), the Balkans and Chechnya. Also look at the festering hotbeds of tribal warfare — I mean the beautiful mosaics — in Third World hellholes like Afghanistan, Rwanda and South Central, L.A.

“Diversity” is a difficulty to be overcome, not an advantage to be sought. True, America does a better job than most at accommodating a diverse population. We also do a better job at curing cancer and containing pollution. But no one goes around mindlessly exclaiming: “Cancer is a strength!” “Pollution is our greatest asset!”

By contrast, the canard “diversity is a strength” has now replaced “at the end of the day,” “skin in the game,” “blood and treasure,” “jumped the shark,” “boots on the ground,” “horrific” (whatever happened to the perfectly good word “horrible”?), “not so much,” “I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here,” and “that went well,” as America’s most irritating cliche.

We should start making up other nonsense mantras along the lines of “diversity is a strength” and mindlessly repeating them until they catch on, too.

Next time you’re at a cocktail party, just start saying, “Chocolate pudding is dramatic irony” from time to time. Eventually other people will start saying it, without anyone bothering to consider whether it makes sense. Then we’ll do another one: “Nicolas Cage is a two-cycle engine.”

Before you know it, liberals will react to news of a mass murder by muttering, “Well, you know what they say: Nicolas Cage is a two-cycle engine,” while everyone nods in agreement.

Except mere nonsense makes more sense than “diversity is a strength.”

If Gen. Casey’s wildly inappropriate use of this lunatic cliche in the aftermath of the Fort Hood massacre doesn’t kill it, nothing will.

It’s a darn good thing idiots like this weren’t in charge of the WWII military

In a way they were in charge--just not our military and were stationed in Moscow...

I have been sitting here for the past 15 minutes trying to find words. There aren’t any. The well has gone dry.

Understandable. At this rate Obama will be successful in disarming and destroying our military with his ROE's which are getting our best and bravest killed as well as getting them prosecuted for doing their job. It is the UN Globalist wish and Obama is glad to grant it to them. He is a disgrace as a CIC and it is traitorous action to put our Troops as risk like this. Our military is in jeopardy.
