Add Sarah Palin to the list of those sticking up for an accused Navy SEAL from Blue Island and two of his fellow servicemen.
Palin, on her Facebook page Friday, posted a message saying charges should be dropped against Petty Officer 1st Class Julio Huertas of Blue Island and two of his fellow SEALS — accused of mistreating an Iraqi terrorism suspect. » Click to enlarge image Add Sarah Palin to the list of those sticking up for an accused Navy SEAL from Blue Island and two of his fellow servicemen.

“First the Obama Administration opened up the possibility of prosecuting CIA interrogators doing their jobs seeking information from terrorists,” Palin wrote. “Then they tried to go after the Bush Administration lawyers who acted in good faith to protect us in the months after 9/11.
“Now some of the military brass are court-martialing three brave Navy SEALs for allegedly throwing a single punch at Iraqi terrorist leader Ahmed Hashim Abed. This is wrong. The Washington Times got it right: Save the SEALs.
“These brave warriors belong in combat, not in the courthouse. They captured the most wanted terrorist in Iraq. We may never know how many other heroic missions they undertook on behalf of our country. The charges should be dropped, and they should be returned to their unit — with our gratitude for their service.
“Stand up for the SEALs who are standing up for us!”

“(And dare I say...spoken like a true Commander in Chief?)”
Absolutely! I served 28 years in the AF and would be proud to call Sarah Palin our Commander-in-Chief.
Ya beat me by 24 years...Good on ya!
.
Up yours, buddy :)
No.
God bless Sarah. This makes up for the McCain fundraiser. I’m glad I’ve supported her [albeit not wholeheartedly].
I’d call this a big leg up as commander-in-chief.
I echo those sentiments. We've recieved a lot of mixed messages lately concerning Sarah from what i call 'the political purists'. But, as is the case in this thread, her heart always seems to go to what is right. That tells me more about her than the networks, political pundits and 'purists' right here on FR.
Bush wasn’t perfect either. The closest we’ve had to perfect since Washington and Jefferson was Reagan. Lincoln, a statesman, was far from perfect.
As for Sarah Palin, if you think I’m mad at her, that’s nothing compare to how furious I am with my governor, McDonnell, for endorsing McCain. I hope McDonnell’s future support drops 10%. And then Romney — I hope he doesn’t even enter the primary.
Meant to add this headline/ink to today’s ping. Will do so next time. FRegards ....
“Well pissant loves Duncan Hunter but he’s pimpin Demint.he’s been hanging out at Sarah thread till the heat get to em...”
Greg, you know better. Ping pissant first.
rae4palin: Newbie, you do the same.
You guys have anything against Duncan Hunter? If so, lay it on us.
BTTT
I wouldn’t sweat it. Usually, I’m happy not to read their inanities.
Sarah Palin dwarfs Juan McCain, who above all should be strongly speaking out against these indictments of SEALs (and others)—he has the clout and he was all-Navy; son and grandson of Admirals. Indirectly, she is calling his hand, but he’s too busy cutting support for himself from the herd of RINOs. Keep the heat on, Sarah!
Things like this is what frustrates me about Republicans to no end. Nobody has the guts to go outside the news cycle. Jim DeMint should be sticking up for these SEALS, not Lindsey Gramnesty. John McCain should be talking about the ROE's in his daily appearances on Fox News. What do we get? Freakin Patrick Kennedy is the only one talking about the Afghan war. Disgraceful.
