Showing a much better grasp of what being Commander in Chief requires than our current President:
First the Obama Administration opened up the possibility of prosecuting CIA interrogators doing their jobs seeking information from terrorists. 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!
– Sarah Palin
Indeed, Save the SEALs – and you can go here to help out.
It just disgusts me that we’d even think of prosecuting. A punch in a war zone? Give me a break! This is war, not a playground game. If the SEALs did it – which I doubt, as I doubt any accusation made against our troops by our enemies – the terrorist should count himself lucky not to have been beaten to a bloody pulp. You go pick a fight with the United States military, you’re in for a world of hurt.
