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.

America does a better job than most at accommodating a diverse population.

From Day One. Look at your dollar bills.

E PLURIBUS UNUM

"Many uniting into one."

An accurate translation, more often seen, of the motto is "Out of many, one"

They need to do like a New York Cop. Get a throw down and just shoot their asses. If they have a weapon fine. If not plant it. TAKE NO PRISONERS. NEVER! They will testify against you. Kill the bastards. What a unique idea. We are in a war after all.

Makes some of us want to do a lot of things in anger, break a lot of furniture in disgust. I swear there is going to be a popular, patriotic revolution in this country before this nonsense is all over.

He ought to be thankful all he had was a bloody lip.

Great news; I taped but did not view yet. I hope he stays on this because this is yet another example of the current madness of the traitorous regime that has taken over our country.

I hope he did or will frame it in the context that Reaganesque did:
~~~

From the story...

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.

The man tortured, killed and mutilated the bodies of four Americans and then hung the remains on a bridge for animals (regular animals and human ones) to desecrate....

~~~~

The quality of character and discipline of our military never ceases to astonish me and fill me with admiration for them. Not only are they the best in the world, but they are an example to all Americans. It is only by these very qualities and our prayers will they and we survive the emotionally crippled and sadistic BHO administration.

According to WWII vets, that’s just what they did.

Governor Sarah Palin accompanied by a delegation of their families should visit them in captivity, and give them all our best regards and speak for all of us in support.

No, it wasn’t.

If I was a SEAL, and these guys get prosecuted and convicted, I would start demanding that an ACLU lawyer and a JAG officer accompany my team on every mission in Iraq to make sure the terrorists are properly coddled.

I guess the Seals never got the Obama memo. Capture my fellow Mooslimes and we will prosecute YOU! WHEN O' AMERCA WILL YOU STAND UP AND SAY TO OBAMA ENOUGH?

that platitude was referring to European peoples at the time it was used on our tender...much more similar demographic origins than today's problem

hardly the same now with major differentiations between immigrants now and less assimilation and more illegals and happening very very quickly

I spent a year in GTMO with these greasy bastards...and I said there many times (and got reprimended for saying it)-the whole GTMO thisng was a joke, we should have fought this war like barbarians, like the Huns, like Sun Tzu would have done- KILL THEM ALL - LET ALLAH SORT THEM OUT!!! I kept saying in GTMO that we would have saved ourselves a lot of heartache by putting two rounds in the back of the head of ALL TERRORISTS CAPTURED IN BATTLE-whom do not rate Geneva Convention protection!

I am sick and tired of our government stabbing in the back out military buys for the sake of political correctness. I cannot take it anymore...The officers appointed over the SEALS are a bunch of pansies and are too worried about their careers-and will sell their Sailors just to secure their retirements and save their asses from the Admiral’s ass chew...pathetic...As a retired Navy Chief, I find unconscionable that the Master Chief of that unit would allow this to happen. He, along all the Chiefs in that unit should resign. Freaking unbelievable.

Does anyone see a pattern here:?

Haditha Marines/Murtha =conviction
Fort Hood/Hassan= NOT A TERRORIST
Seals do heir job= Court Martial

The French would be proud of our wimpiness!

Is this akin to passing out speeding tickets at the Indi 500?

I mean the rest of the military.

I consider your comments and informed POV one of the highlights of FR.

I just wonder how much longer the members of the military who aren’t 0bamatypes themselves can stand this.
