Navy SEALs face court martial for capturing a most wanted terrorist
I can’t think of another story that I have written about that I find more disturbing than this story. Three Navy SEALs have been charged with assault and are facing a court martial because one of them may have punched Ahmed Hashim Abed– the mastermind of the 2004 Blackwater security guard murders and United States most wanted terrorist– in the face, giving him a bloody lip.
These Navy SEALs were on a secret mission to apprehend this vile subhuman being and in doing so one of them may have hit this terrorist. Ahmed Hashim Abed filed a complaint with Iraqi officials and now these Navy SEALs face a court martial instead of the accolades they deserve.
The brave men went into the heart of the beast, risking their lives, to perform their mission and instead of being hailed as heroes they are going to be prosecuted as criminals.
I can’t even begin to describe the level of my disgust. Ahmed Hashim Abed planned the murder and mutilation of four United States citizens and our men are being prosecuted because they may have punched him during his capture? Is this what we have come to in this country? Is this how we can expect our heroes to be treated? If the answer to those questions is yes than I have to ask the question, how are we ever supposed to bring these men that we are fighting against to justice?
During a mission like this it is perfectly reasonable to expect that the terrorist might just become a little violent in resisting arrest. Are we now to put the thought in the minds of the Navy SEALs and other special operatives that they are not allowed to fight back in a situation that may require hand to hand combat? Our operatives will be second guessing themselves and acting more cautious at precisely the time when swift action and possibly even violence is needed to apprehend a suspect as well as save their own lives.
It seems to me that if these men are prosecuted and found guilty that we will be tying the hands of all of our men and women in the field, and not just the special operations people.
We have taken the politically correct mindset to deadly proportions as witnessed in the Fort Hood terrorist attack and now we see that we are making it nearly impossible to catch terrorists and bring them to justice.
The one lesson that can be learned from this is, dead men tell no tales. Our men and women in the field would be better off killing whatever terrorists they encounter instead of bringing them in alive. These three Navy SEALs would have less to worry about if they had put a bullet in Ahmed Hashim Abed’s head.
This man is on the most wanted terrorist list and yet the heroes that apprehended him will go on trial in January while he sits in a jail cell. This is disgusting.
If we have come to this point in the war on terror, and in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq than it is time to give up and go home. We are wasting our time over there if we are not willing to let our troops do whatever it takes to secure victory. All we are doing is putting our troops in harm’s way for a cause that our government obviously no longer believes in.
Barack Obama recently said that he will “finish the job” in Afghanistan, it seems that his politically correct policies will make that awfully hard to do. It is obvious that the United States is not taking this battle seriously any more. When the word of a terrorist is taken over the word of our Navy SEALs by our own government than the war is already lost.
America's Watchtower 
From this day forth, there is absolutely no need to take prisoners as not information can be obtained after reading them their rights. They should be shot where they stand even under the white flag. Americans will understand and we will be saved the cost of feeding, clothing, and the cost of a trial in NYC where ACLU attorneys can rant about what an evil country we are, echoing the words of those like Rev. Wright and his star protege, Barack Hussein Obama. This does make one’s blood boil and the president and general who allow something like this to proceed even this far will have to answer to us all one day.

BFD- let them boys do their job for Chrissake.
It’s just like when you don’t let the cops have a little leeway… the enemy knows the authority figure is restrained and he exploits it.
Cops or soldiers then get sick of fighting with their hands tied -like in ‘Nam- and morale plummets. Plus if the enemy doesn’t fear them sufficiently, they have to fight all the more battles in the long-run. Facing legal action for roughing up some terrorist is of course rediculous
This is the kind of proven, common-sense management practices that elude the Dear Leader… because his resume doesn’t qualify him to run a muffler shop.

Yes, the enemy knows our limits and they adjust and take advantage of it while our boys are the ones who are handcuffed by ridiculous regulations.

You’re right, Mr. Pink Eyes. Better off dead than a coddled prisoner. This incident makes you wonder what Obama means when he says “finish the job.”
