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.

It seems to me that what’s happening is that zero is using Alinsky tactics/Rule for Radicals against our military warriors and heroes. We saw a sample of it with Casey’s response to the Hasan massacre. We see it again in the decision to try the 9-11 terrorists at a civilian trial in NYC just blocks from the WTC instead of in a military tribunal at Gitmo. Now this.
I no longer think these events are unrelated. Add to all the above four months to decide whether or not to send help to our people in-country/Afghanistan. Then add on this new notion of a “military tax”.
Our military is a target for destruction by this administration. They seek to undermine it by lowering morale and physical support.

Agreed. Unless it's useful to the libtards to disparage America.
The admiral should not only acquit he should give a commendation to the SEALS for not killing him outright.
I requested mast once and things went my way. May the same thing happen with these heroes.
This affirmative action sonofabitch keeps pushing the limits, to see how far the american sheeple can be herded. It has almost reached intolerable, but not quite.
Those kind of voices either died or fear to enter my mind since 0ba-Mao took Mel Zelaya's side re Honduras. The facts were all there the day he was booted out and 0ba-Mao sided with every communist thug in the western hemisphere. There was no room left at all for parsing, spinning or camouflaging where he stood or what he is all about.
It's not like there was a lot of doubt before that but it was the first blatant act of fully supporting an enemy of America with no cover for it at all. By 'enemy of America' I mean Marxist dictatorships in our hemisphere not Mel Zelaya who is just a figurehead for the principle being backed.
As a former Marine, I find this taking over of the military by the PC types and lawyers disgusting. Semper Fi! We will prevail, you freaks.
Never forget and never forget some day we will have justice for all the wrongs. This administration and the communists behind just don’t understand what it means to be an American.
And I'm thinking you're guessing right.
Seeing those pics makes me wish the US would of left Saddam in power. Those sub-humans deserve a tyrant.
I know the usurper traitor in chief false messiah long legged mack daddy bows to those that he adorns as he failed to bow to a queen. And he is not -just an idiot- ...but I still thought the cartoon was funny and this thread needs a laugh. We all need a laugh.
Take no prisoners! Simple solution.
Those pictures and the atrocity need to be shown to every American. Big deal a Seal gave some radical raghead terrorist a bloody lip.NEXT TIME they will be shot! FUBO!
Nope, then they would have been charged with murder.
Very,very few people realize that lifeeverywhere the United States influences changed drastically for the worse November 4, 2008.
And once obama care is passed it will change a hellove lot more for the worse.
It’s a matter of honor and principle. If they take the Admiral’s mast, they get a black mark they carry forever. Instead, because they did nothing wrong, they seek to be completely cleared. I also imagine they want the public to know what is going on in our military. My guess is that there have been other incidents where our men and women have been punished for doing their jobs, which some times get a little messy, and they’ve had enough of being punished and harassed for it.
It’s like the Duke lacrosse case. No crime at all occurred, yet three young men were charged with crimes that brought 40 year prison sentences, were mercilessly harassed and threatened (including by Duke University and the Black Panthers), and forced to spend millions on their defense (which they’ve gotten back plus a lot more) because some lying black whore didn’t want to get forced into a drug rehab one night when she was high off her butt and also thought it was a good opportunity to “get paid by the white boys” in a shakedown attempt.
Some Americans just don’t cave in. They want their names cleared - honor, principle, dignity, pride, ....
INNOCENT.
What is so sickening beyond any words is they drag their small kids to the front to take delight in mangle, torture, drag a half alive human being through the streets and burning a human being. It also looks as if the kids were laughing and smiling as the bodies were hung on the bridge.
You’ve seen/read/heard them celebrating, or you’re surmising that?
Unfrikkinbelievable! I thought the headline was an Onion parody!
But don’t you dare give the leader of those murdering savages a bloody lip!
