When a small team of Navy SEALs set out to capture one of Iraq's most-wanted terrorists in September, they never dreamed it would go so smoothly.

After all, Ahmed Hashim Abed, the suspected mastermind of a 2004 atrocity against U.S. contractors in Fallujah, was holed up in a safe house in Anbar province. Intelligence reports, which identified his location, said he kept a revolver under his pillow.

It's called unconventional warfare. Get It? Got It? GOOD!

Now STFU and let the SEALS do the job like we asked them to, told them to and expect them to.

They need one person’s support and that is it and that is the judge. Well of course unless they get a jury. Good luck to them. Hopefully they have really good lawyers.

Bush II’s goof-up and Barry's expansion of that goof-up.

Bush II did require “rules of engagement” reminiscent of Viet Nam.

Barry has expanded the idiocy in conducting this conflict. Just look at the Ft. Hood report - no mention of Islam or even the Muzzie killer's obviously Muslim name.

America has had a succession of mediocrities, villains and fools in the White House since Reagn left office.

Gen. Cleveland has come under such intense criticism over the case that he felt it necessary to write an open letter last month to Rep. Dan Burton, Indiana Republican, saying the concerns expressed by at least three dozen lawmakers were "based on incomplete and factually inaccurate press coverage" of the case.

Snip

Mr. Burton rejected the general's reasoning, writing in reply earlier this month that his concerns were only "reinforced by your letter."

The congressman wrote, "The fact that fellow U.S. service personnel initially raised the accusations against Petty Officers Huertas, McCabe and Keefe strongly suggests that we have created a culture within our armed forces where our military personnel are now more concerned about protecting themselves from legal jeopardy for every action or statement than they are about fighting the enemy.

Our troops and these SEALs need to be bold and decisive in combat, not hesitant and over-thinking every action for fear of prosecution

Prayers for these Seals

Is there any evidence whatsoever that any injuries the terrorist sustained were caused after he was in custody?

I haven’t seen anything to indicate these men deserve anything less than a medal and promotion.
