If This Doesn't Make Your Blood Boil, Nothing Will

In 2004, four U.S. security guards were transporting supplies for a catering company in Fallujah, Iraq, when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Their bodies were burned and dragged through the city. Two of the bodies were hanged on a bridge and photographed, while terrorists danced and celebrated below.

Intelligence sources identified Ahmed Hashim Abed as the mastermind of the attack, and he became one of the United States' most wanted terrorists, code-named "Objective Amber."

Now, three of the Navy SEALs who captured Abed face criminal charges and will be arraigned on December 7. What's their crime? Evidently, one of them gave Abed a fat lip.

According to a FOX News report, Abed "told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it."

SEALs Matthew McCabe, Jonathan Keefe, and Julio Huertas are facing charges ranging from dereliction of performance of duty to assault.

So, let's sum this up. U.S. security guards are ambushed, murdered, burned, dragged through the streets, and photographed hanging on a bridge while Islamic jihadists dance below.

U.S. Navy SEALs capture the murderous butcher who planned the ambush, and one of SEALs gives him a bloody lip. Now the SEALs are on trial.

Is there any hope that those who lead this country will ever regain anything remotely resembling common sense?
