LIVES WERE SAVED ... LET'S COURT MARTIAL THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE

Lt. Colonel Allen West was serving with the 4th Infantry from Ft. Hood, Texas. He was serving in an area of Iraq known as the Sunni Triangle ... an area where many American soldiers have been killed. Col. West received word from an Iraqi informant that an attempt was going to be made to kill him. The Iraqi informant also said that a local police officer was part of the assassination plot.

Col. West ordered the suspect Iraqi police officer detained and questioned. When he was told that the police officer was not cooperating he decided to take over the interrogation himself. He pulled out his service pistol and fired two shots near the head of the Iraqi police officer. The gun was not aimed at or anywhere near the Iraqi's head. The tactic worked, though. After the second gunshot that Iraqi started blabbering like a child. He disclosed who was to carry out the attack and where the attack on Col. West was to take place. The attack was averted. American lives were saved, and the Iraqi police officer was not harmed in the process.

So .. what is to become of Allen West? He's being offered a choice. He can either (a) retire from the army before he is eligible for any retirement benefits; or, (b) he can face a court-martial. Why? Because Lt. Col. Allen West. assaulted that poor Iraqi officer who was part of a plot to kill Americans.

Is this how you fight a war? Those people are trying to kill our people, and we can't use a little fear of Allah to get them to reveal assassination plots? Don't you just know that our special ops types are using tactics much worse than this with some Al Qaeda detainees?
