Fox News reported this afternoon that the Navy Seals captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, a most-wanted terrorist, in Iraq in September and three of them are now going to be court-martialed because somehow he got a bloody lip. The defense attorney of one of the "offenders" said in the
Navy Times that the offense was "a punch in the gut."
What did poor little Abed do to make those big, bad Navy Seals want to capture him? Well, if Fox News is right about his identity and intelligence is right about his offense, it's believed that he planned the attack in which four contractors were ambushed and killed in Fallujah before their bodies were burned and dragged through town. For an encore, two of the bodies were strung up from a bridge for photo ops for the press.
Anyone know how recruitment is going for the military under the Obama Administration?
It would seem to me that the only thing that would help it would be the current crummy employment situation.
This McClatchy article from November 6 states, "When discouraged workers and underemployed workers are factored in, the unemployment rate stands around 17.5 percent."
