Clubbing Our Seals
Investor's Business Daily ^ | November 27, 2009 | IBD edirorial staff

War On Terror: As Khalid Sheikh Mohammed receives the benefits of U.S. justice, three Navy SEALs face court-martial for allegedly punching a captured terrorist who hanged Americans from a bridge in Fallujah.

Apparently our efforts to impress the world about the marvels of our criminal justice system require us to give foreign terrorists such as Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the man who invented the manned cruise missiles that flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and plowed into a Pennsylvania field on its way to the Capitol Building, the full rights and protections of the American citizens he conspired to murder.

To impress the peoples of Gabon and Bangladesh, we are also required apparently to drag those who risk their lives to protect us — from CIA agents gathering intelligence on future plots to the Marines of Haditha — through the mud, turning every hiccup in the fog war into the next Abu Ghraib.

It is so believable. These guys despise America. This is the result.

Even if these guys are acquitted think on the chilling effect this has on combat readiness and morale.

It is treachery by lawyering.

That’s going to cause someone to cry, grab their teeth in one hand and pull their hair out with the other.

It might even qualify for hate speech.

Are you a white Christian male by chance???

Of course, it would make a great bumper sticker. Does that sound liberal?

President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Traitor Eric Holder all put together are not good enough to shine the shoes of any of those Seals.

And that is exactly what those SEALS should have turned this POS into.

Is this not some payback from the Pentagon brass for that ‘mishap’ off Somalia where the Seals waxed three hajis instead of waiting for Richard Holbrooke to show up and ‘negotiate’ a solution (presuming, of course, that the American boat Capt didn’t get killed in the meantime...)???

It’s hard to believe anything which we get from the Pentagon right now. Knowing that the lawyers have more influence than the Generals and the Generals who are being put forward are going to be the ‘we prefer NO war whatsoever’ types, just imagine how much it sucks to be a 2nd Lt right now with teenagers under your command and under fire in a place like Afghanistan.

OK, I am a retired JAG. How do I volunteer to help in the defense of these guys? If the maggots at DOJ and the Big Firms can help Terrorist Scum, I can certainly help our Brave Boys!

Point me in the right direction, and I’ll go, ASAP.

Anyone know?
