Rep. Ted Poe has a rather interesting proposition. Given the success that Navy SEALs Matthew McCabe, Julio Huertas and Jonathan Keefe and the other SEALs who went on the mission to capture Ahmed Hashim Abed, they should be sent out for another mission just like it, according to an article on HumanEvents.com.

When we come to think of it, why not? That sure seems like a more productive use of the Navy SEALs’ skills, as opposed to their being subjected to a court martial. Poe was quoted in the article: “I think they ought to give them medals, send them out to bag another one. I think they showed great restraint. We are at war.”

Poe expressed that he did not believe the accusations against the SEALs. Meinecke writes: “Poe isn’t necessarily buying Abed’s story, especially since Abed didn’t launch the accusations until after the SEALs surrendered him to the Iraqis (he supposedly underwent further questioning by the SEALs, while technically remaining in Iraqi custody).”

He also shared that he felt that McCabe, Huertas and Keefe “need all the support they can get.”

Poe is one of more than 70 cosponsors who introduced a resolution that will honor the Navy SEALs for successfully apprehending Abed. The resolution was introduced in December but has not made it out of a House committee. According to Poe, the resolution is telling the SEALs, “We appreciate you, thanks, job well done.”

Poe says further: “I would hope the high level brass would be praising our SEALs as opposed to quickly criticizing what they did.  They ought to be quickly praising them for capturing this guy.”
