“Three of our tenacious Navy SEALs captured one of the worst terrorists in the world: Ahmed Hashim Abed. In 2004, four Blackwater security guards were transporting supplies in Fallujah, Iraq. They were caught in an ambush and murdered by those cowards in the desert. These Americans were set on fire, mutilated, dragged through the streets, and hung from a bridge over the Euphrates River. Abed, the terrorist, was the mastermind behind the massacre of these Americans. But Navy SEALs McCabe, Keefe, and Huertas captured this outlaw. But now for some odd reason, they are being put on trial--the SEALs, not the terrorist. The whiny terrorist later claimed he was punched in the stomach during his capture on the battlefield. It hurt his little terrorist feelings, it seems. Now the SEALs face a court martial. Congress should commend the valiant actions of these Navy SEALs, and I have introduced a resolution to do just that. These SEALs should be given medals and sent out to bag another one. And that's just the way it is.”
