One Fat Lip for the Terrorist, One Black Eye on America

March 31, 2004: Iraqis chant anti-American slogans as the charred and mutilated bodies of U.S. contractors hang from a bridge over the Euphrates River in Fallujah, Iraq.

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 three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges—Rowan Scarborough

In one of those I can’t believe what my government just did moments, your government sent in Navy SEALs to capture Ahmed Hashim Abed the alleged mastermind of four mutilated and burned U.S. security guards in Fallujah in 2004. No that’s not the unbelievable moment the moment that is giving America a black eye is the fact that America is prosecuting three of the four U.S. SEALs because Abed a terrorist accused them of fattening his lip in the process of his capture and custody.

According to Reporter Rowan Scarborough; Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

Apparently Terrorists have some new given rights under the Barry Hussein Soetoro administration. Apparently Terrorists can now accuse U.S. military men of war crimes. Haven’t you noticed the Mirandizing of enemy combatants and all of that kind of International court at the Hague policy we are now employing under this administration?

It seems that we have an abundance of lawyers on hand—maybe too many. And since volunteer numbers for the Armed Services are down, under the president Barry Hussein Soetoro administration, why don’t we draft all Liberal Lawyers to send them to Afghanistan to fight in the war and a way to make sure we have the forces we need that will comply with all of the new Obama rules of engagement.

We still may lose the Afghanistan war but it would be so worth it to thin out the Liberal Attorney Herd in America.

The travesty which our government committed here is simply charging U.S. Navy SEALs for something that a Terrorist has accused them of while in the act of capturing and holding him.

These charges are inconceivable as well as unconscionable. While Ahmed Hashim Abed may have received a fat lip, the American Military and the America government who charged the Navy SEALs, our government, has sustained a black eye for bring unnecessary and severe charges against men who were carrying out their duties protecting America from further acts of terror.
