“I hope they Mirandized this Ahmed Hashim Abed guy before they punched him.”—Rush Limbaugh
On March 31, 2004, a small convoy guarded by four American civilian contractors was ambushed at Fallujah, Iraq, and the guards were killed. The bodies of the four Blackwater security guards were burnt, hacked, and two of the mutilated bodies were hung for display on a bridge over the Euphrates river.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that in ” a macabre and murderous town fete, locals cheered as one corpse was attached to a car tow rope and pulled triumphantly up and down the main road….”
The article noted that “In terms of its sheer bestial violence, the attack on the Blackwater operatives was unprecedented….”
The ambush, and desecration of the bodies were all videotaped by Islamic extremists, and subsequently disseminated world-wide as anti-American propaganda...

You referred to people like me “who get innocent people killed.”
Post 65. “It is people like you who get innocent people killed. Live with that.”
I'm not the one who made the decision to discipline the three SEALS in question. According to the information I've seen, it was General Cleveland, the Special Operations Commander for Central Command. So were back to square one, Blackbart.223. Is General Cleveland getting innocent people killed by enforcing the US policy via the Uniform Code of Military Justice? This is what your argument implies, isn't it? How exactly is General Cleveland "getting innocent people killed" by enforcing the Uniform Code of Military Justice?
It's General Cleveland's decision that's being second-guessed here, not mine, right? If you can't explain it to me because my “eyes are closed,” how would you explain to the SOCCENT that he is getting innocent people killed by enforcing the Uniform Code of Military Justice?
Will BO and Corn Hole-der put the SEALS in an adjacent holding cell to KSM and the terrorists on trial in NYC?
Guarantee BO sympathizes with the terrorists more than the SEALS.
The Seals were under orders to capture Mr. Abed. The insinuation here is that the officers who ordered and coordinated the capture Of Mr. Abed don’t know what they were doing, and that the SEALS were mistaken to follow orders by capturing him. Do I understand your position clearly?

Listen up,Peck’ah Head!,,,
Some RAMF gave them a fool-ass PC order,,,
The mistake the Team made was not smokin’ the basturd
when they found him/it,,,
Orders from HQ don’t always bind in the field,,,DUH!,,,
My house-mate is a Blue Star Mom,,,2nd.BCT.10th.Mtn.Div.,,,
He has been back in Iraq for a month now,,,11 months to go.
East side of B-Dad where all the bombings are,,,
29 months in combat so far,,,3rd.tour,,,
He won’t trust an Iraqi behind his back !,,,
I guess he’s busted quite a few lips what with all the
raids he’s been on in his tours,,,
His M-4 has taken out quite a few as I’ve been told,,,
I guess you don’t like that either with your PC BS...!
“Guarantee BO sympathizes with the terrorists more than the SEALS”
Oh I’m 100%+ sure you’re right.
I almost spit my water out when I read the “Corn Hole-der” line. LOL
All due respect, what part of “enemy” don’t you understand?
I don’t really care if he filed a complaint. None of the terrorist scum is covered by the Geneva Convention anyway—they don’t meet the criteria. And they didn’t boil him in hot ham fat (they should have). He had a bloody lip. How many American criminals get a bloody lip resisting arrest every day—I’m sure some complain—how many cops are even reprimanded? Even a court knows the cops’ job like the SEALS doesn’t consist of sitting down for a cup of tea to reason with the perp.
American troops in WW2, in isolated incidents to be sure, gunned down surrendering German units. they turned Nazi death camp leaders to the freed Jewish prisoners after the camps were liberated, to be tortured and killed by the prisoners without due process. We also bombed and killed thousands upon thousands of civilians, old people, women, children.
If we played nice nelly in WW2—we’d have lost—like we’re going to lose in the long run here, it appears.
Color me skeptic, but I thing this story does not pass the smell test.
Special Forces are by definition "SPECIAL", so the whole thing is a bunch of BS. Me thinks that the Canucs have a slow news day...
Next time, don’t capture the terrorist, kill their sorry ass.
“Next time, don’t capture the terrorist, kill their sorry ass.”
Come on Joe, we can’t do that because that would be both logical and right. Liberals won’t tolerate either of those concepts.
I understand that we need to interrrogate these killers to hopefully garner fruitful info but then again, Nah, kill em.
LOL
Zer0 should be calling a halt to this travesty immediately
AAAH right after the golf game or maybe the football game,maybe after a date with thunder thighs.

Unfortunately, as in the case of the soldiers featured in this documentary who received life sentences, that tactic doesn’t always work out successfully either. The comments after the article come down on both sides. The parts of the report that I saw were sympathetic to the soldiers.

“...given that he did file a complaint...”
And that’s the problem - that the scum could even have the (normally civilian) right to file a complaint in the first place. As an non-uniformed ememy combatant, the scum has no more rights than a Somali pirate - both are enemies of all mankind and deserve only to be shot on the spot without remorse - without wailing and moaning from the PC peanut gallery.

“The seals weren’t fighting the enemy, they were guarding a prisoner... By disciplining a soldier who broke the rules, they are doing the right thing. A breakdown in discipline can lead to the loss of American lives in war, and that is the issue that is at the heart of this case.”
Oh good grief! We are at war! There should be no case in the first place!!
“then he can recognize that Mr. Assad is a demented terrorist.”
“then he can recognize that Mr. Assad is a” murderous Islamic Jihadi. But then how could Hussein do that and give a celebratory shout out to the diversity of muslims going on the haj?
“Apparently Zero was not pleased by their heroic actions so he had to make an example of some others to show who is in control.”
Sounds about right for a guy spotted tightly clutching a mag featuring himself on the cover...
