Court-Martial of Navy Seal Opens in Iraq « Liveshots.
An alleged terrorist accused in the grisly murders of four Americans appeared in court Wednesday in Iraq. But Ahmed Hashim Abed isn’t the one on trial. Instead, he was testifying against one of the Navy Seals who arrested him last September.
Petty Officer First Class Julio Huertas of Blue Island, Illinois, is being tried at a military base on the western outskirts of Baghdad. Huertas and two other Navy Seals face charges in connection with Abed’s arrest, during which the prisoner claims he was punched and kicked by at least one of his captors.
The president should step up and put an end to this. Of course, he won’t because that’s not what liberal politicians do. You have to treat terrorists with kid gloves while you’re kissing their ass and “reaching out” to them to try to make them like you.
President Obama has been privately reaching out as he calls it to muslims and muslim organizations. This trial is nothing more than more ass kissing. He bows to a Saudi prince, he even bows to the Chinese president, but he won’t lift a finger to stop this travesty of justice. Some leader he is.
So just how is that hope and change working out for you? I certainly have hope that we can change the mess Obama has made in the short time he’s been president. It’s kinda like when you get a bad rash. It appears out of nowhere, but once the damage is done it can take a very long time, comparatively, to get rid of it again. That’s the conundrum we find ourselves in now.
