Utah Marine who went missing in Iraq charged with desertion

Remember Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun? Of course, his family is shocked, shocked, even though it was their own behavior that helped raise questions of whether this was an issue of divided (or undivided) loyalties. From the Salt Lake Tribune, with thanks to Twostellas:

Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun of West Jordan, who has been the subject of a five-month investigation into his June disappearance from a U.S. military camp near Fallujah, Iraq, has been charged with desertion by the U.S. Marine Corps.

Hassoun, 24, will also be charged with loss of government property and theft of a military firearm for allegedly leaving his post still in possession of his 9mm handgun, as well as theft of wrongful appropriation of a government vehicle, according to officials at Camp Lejeune, N.C.

Hassoun remains on duty at Camp Lejeune and has not been taken into custody.

Contacted Thursday afternoon, a Hassoun family member said he was "shocked" by the announcement.

Details about how the Utah Marine showed up in a purported hostage video before later appearing as a free man in Lebanon were not released.

If found guilty of desertion, Hassoun could face a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of pay and allowances, and five years confinement for each specification.

You know, one of these days, these people will realize that they can't speak out of both sides of their mouths and get away with it.

SHOCKED?

Let them be shocked. They react with shock every time they are caught in a damn lie! Where is his 9mm now? How many innocents died due to Wassef Ali Hassoun perfidy?

We can trust Muslims in our armed service about as much as we can trust a drug addict in our medicine cabinets!

This was from: thcalicatblog.com
a while ago. It brought out some interesting points about this guy at the time.

Wassef Ali Hassoun kidnapping a hoax?

As we now know, Wassef Ali Hassoun, the American Marine who was allegedly kidnapped by Iraqi insurgents, turned up in Lebanon where he contacted the American embassy. He then turned himself over to the U.S. embassy on Thursday, was flown to Germany, and is now back under military control. But the circumstances of his absence are still shrouded in mystery.

Yesterday’s New York Post suggests that his kidnapping was a hoax. “Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun is believed to have made phone calls during the period he went missing in Iraq — raising serious doubts among investigators about whether he was kidnapped by terrorists, military officials said yesterday.”

The Post reports that the Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating whether the videotape of Hassoun may have been a hoax designed to cover his flight from Iraq.

According to an article today at CNN.com, his physician says he’s in good shape. “‘I found him in excellent physical condition, and I did not see any bruises or any injuries on his person,’ said Hassoun's attending physician, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Peter Marco.”

Wassef Ali Hassoun was defended by his brother, according to an an Associated press article from yesterday:

Mohamed Hassoun told reporters outside his Utah home that the best description he can give of his brother is that he is a U.S. Marine -- implying the corporal would never lie about a disappearance. He said he's angry about the rumors, adding that this isn't the time to question his family's loyalty.

Let’s examine the facts more closely:

(1) He voluntarily deserted, with the assistance of local Iraqis. It was originally thought that his Iraqi friends betrayed him, but perhaps that wasn’t the case at all.

(2) He has no bruises or injuries, which is inconsistent with him being held prisoner against his will.

(3) He wound up in Lebanon. This is just as the original desertion story suggested, he was trying to return to Lebanon. How did he get there? If he was kidnapped and let go, wouldn’t the kidnappers have just released him in Iraq? Were his kidnappers actually helping him get to Lebanon? How easy is it for an American, albeit an American who speaks Arabic, to get from Iraq to Lebanon, presumably passing through Syria, without some sort of help?

(4) His brother defended him, but that’s what family is for. Some of history’s worst villains were good people according to their immediate family. This should be discounted.

(5) Why did Wassef Ali Hassoun contact the American Embassy and allow himself to be picked up by the U.S. military and flown to Germany, if his goal was to desert and return to Lebanon? Maybe because his family in Lebanon didn’t want him there? The Associated Press article cited above also reported that, “in Lebanon, a gunfight broke out after a street vendor taunted a member of Hassoun's clan -- saying his family members are American agents. Two people were killed.” Maybe it was too dangerous for him in Lebanon because of his notoriety, and he had no choice but to leave Lebanon and turn himself in to U.S. authorities?

Gold star for you!!

There was Cpl. Muhammad, the Egyptian in the U.S. Army whose task was to "explain" Islam to American soldiers, and who turned out to be part of the group that planned the first World Trade Center bombing. There is the still unnamed Muslim sailor who apparently gave away secrets about the capacity of the U.S.S. Constellation, perhaps to those planning another U.S.S. Cole-like attack. There was Hasan Akbar, who rolled the grenades into the tent of his sleeping fellow soldiers, killing Christopher Seifert and another officer, and wounding many others.

No doubt there are other cases of which we have not heard. And no doubt some of those not charged, or not convicted on certain charges, are getting away because the evidence is not sufficient, which is quite different from saying that there is no evidence.

And none of this should surprise. Islam teaches adherents to offer loyalty, complete loyalty, to fellow Muslims and only to fellow Muslims. Non-Muslims, whether citizens of the same country, neighbors, or supposedly "friends," are never to be offered any real friendship, loyalty, or aid. It simply makes, from the viewpoint of Islam, no sense. If you are an Infidel, you deserve to be subjugated, and forced to behave as a dhimmi. The notion that a Believer in Islam could possibly offer any loyalty to the Infidel nation-state is simply nonsensical; it is undercut by everything in Islam -- by what Muhammad said and did in the Hadith, by the example of his own life, and by the word of God, as taken down in the Qur'an.

What is it about this that the Pentagon planners do not understand? Is it that they simply can't deal with it? Is it that there are a handful of Muslim Arabs who have not given any cause for alarm, and risen to the rank of captain or major or colonel, and even now supply "studies" that purport to show that the problem is not Islam, but either the "Wahhabis" or a particular one of the four schools of Sunni Muslim jurisprudence, or some particular writer on Islam -- never Islam itself, for that would be too painful and disturbing -- and no Muslim, whether major or general, is going to own up to that, for it would, naturally, call into question either the fervency of his faith as a Believer, or his loyalty to the United States.

How long it will be before the upper echelons of the army sit down and really learn what Islam is all about, not from Muslims and non-Muslim apologists, but from defectors from Islam, that is, from ex-Muslims, and from non-Muslims who from Muslim countries or who have been in such countries as Lebanon and been on the receiving end of Muslim "protection" (Copts, Maronites, Iraqi Chaldeans and Assyrians), and from scholars of dhimmitude such as Bat Ye'or? Meanwhile, they continue to be fed pabulum that merely prolongs the abiding faith in that disastrous enterprise, the "Light-Unto-the-Muslim-Nations Project" in Iraq.

One hopes, devoutly, that within a few months the American army will simply pull out. Whether it is a victory of Islamic parties in January, or a realization that the war of self-defense against the Jihad cannot continue to use up so much of America's resources that are needed for a very long fight, and morale of soldiers must not be squandered on a self-evidently foolish enterprise (the disarmament of Iraq, and removal of Saddam Hussein, however, was completely justified and completely proper -- it is only this latest phase of the war, this "reconstruction-cum-model-Muslim-state" phase, that represents such a misallocation of resources (men, materiel, money, attention).

Americans should leave Iraq to its own devices, not because the Islamic threat is exaggerated, but because it is far greater, and has many more instruments (Da'wa, demography) at its disposal, and the main contest is not Iraq, nor the MIddle East, but Europe. And if Iraq descends into a standoff between Kurds and Arabs, and within the Arab group, between Sunnis and Shi'a, so what? Why is that not to be desired? Was not the Iran-Iraq War a good thing from the Infidel point of view?

And what if Iraq descended into a real mess -- a kind of Somalia? Again, it is difficult to see how that harms American efforts against the Jihad. What is most likely to happen is that Iraq will remain a proxy battlefield, with Sunnis from outside helping Sunnis within Iraq against the Shi'a, and Iranian Shi'a helping the Shi'a of Iraq. Meanwhile, the United States can be arming the Kurds to ensure that they can withstand any assault by the Arabs, and possibly take back all of former Kurdistan as well -- which would be a threat to Syria, to Iran, and to Turkey, which is looking more hostile every day, yet continues to assume that the United States will forever dance to its tune (not any more, not now that Turkish bases are no longer needed to threaten a non-existent Soviet Union, and yet are not available for any likely need American forces would have to use them).

Intenecine warfare in Iraq? The "Somalia solution" of descent into chaos? Neither one should cause Americans to worry. The only thing to lose sleep over is if American soldiers and civilians remain in Iraq beyond the early spring -- that would be folly.

This story was on network news tonight following the local news, I forget which station (I think CBS...).

I always thought his 'blindfold'- in the 'hostage' video- looked too clean. (And the real beheaders never used "swords", they used sheep butchering knives.)

The military should simply parachute Buck Private Hassoun him back into an unsecured area of insurgent-riddled Iraq, in full battle gear,
-but with a toy rifle.

Which is about all he was to his brothers-in-arms.

A fake.

(And a new battle patch sewn on his arm:
"a scorpion riding on the back of a frog" * -
the new insignia ...for traitors.

*you can search this 'proverb' online for its meaning, if it isn't familiar. Not sure if it's Sufi, or Taoist, or Zen.

"The Scorpion and the Frog" in the version I have heard always ends: "What did you expect? This is the Middle East."

A Russian version of the tale was printed, about 25 years ago, in the New York newspaper "Novoye Russkoye Slovo." Its title was: "Skorpion i lyagushka." Perhaps someone else remembers it -- if they do, and have a copy, I would like to obtain one.

an oxymoron: Muslim U.S. Marine.

Why did it take so long to disprove this traitor's cockamamie story of kidnapping and miraculous release into the arms of his Lebanese relatives? And at this time, this "Muslim U.S. Marine" is still nor clapped in irons and in the Porsmouth naval brig?

Any American Marine (not a "Muslim Marine") deserting his post would long have been dealt with. Bending over backwards so as not to offend the oh-so-tender sensibilities of world-wide Muslims, are we?

Do you-all want to be defended by "Muslim Marines, Muslim soldiers, and Muslim seamen?" I sure as sh-t--ah--shootin' don't.

Thankful that when I was in the U.S. Armed forces, there was nuch thing as a U.S. Muslim serviceman (or woman). You can trust such a fabrication as far as you can spit while standing on the bow of a vessel running full-speed into a gale-force wind.

unicorns62000

You are so right. As well, I was in the U.S. Armed forces and never heard of them and am so very thankful. Knowing what I do now, I would not be in the same outfit with one. They should never allow Muslims in the military.

i don't remember learning of foreign military members ever being disloyal like this. i've always heard praise that the japanese worked hard to prove their loyalty in wwii, the vietnamese worked very hard in the war over there, and i would expect that now the muslims should be bending over backwords to prove that they are capable of serving a country that is so "tolerant" of thier people. i have always been taught to give people the benefit of the doubt...we live in America...the land of tolerance and opportunity. well i'm quite sick of tolerating people who will not tolerate me.

as far as i'm concerned, muslims should be kicked out of the armed forces...every division. and "tolerance" should be earned by each and every one of them. i feel as if we
as a nation are being told just to wait for them to take over. this intellegence bill that was signed was the "straw that broke the camels back" for me. i now know who the people i elected to represent me serve, and it isn't the american people. i wish we could make all of them accountable...the politicians and the muslim population, as we are held acountable for our "hate crimes" and "bigotry" and "racism".

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!

Master of the Universe Joke Dept
When creating Nasseemah,Allah asked her what would she like to be,"I would like to be a US MARINE,,SIR,"So Allah went to the stock room to get all the parts,after about 20 minutes Allah returned,and gave to Nassen a small brain and a big tongue,Nasseenah looked at these items,then asked Allah if they where the right things needed to be a good US MARINE,ALLAH replied no,but they are good enough to become a jihad warrior,and just now we are out of stock of the parts to make a good US MARINE,Naseen took the items and became a jihadi,and three days later Allah got a new delivery of balls

During the Soviet Afghan war, any Soviet Deserters recaptured by the Soviets were returned to their Unit. They were then usually given mine clearence duty (without protective or sensory gear), or sometimes died in dubious weapons accidents.

So our fast talking,debonair Muslim Hero turned out to be another lying son of the Prophet!! Lets hope his free trip to Lebanon and media exposure,[not to mention faked 'hostage' video] will earn him a stay in jail as well as the contempt of every other marine.

Mr Hugh says “What is most likely to happen is that Iraq will remain a proxy battlefield, with Sunnis from outside helping Sunnis within Iraq against the Shi'a, and Iranian Shi'a helping the Shi'a of Iraq. Meanwhile, the United States can be arming the Kurds to ensure that they can withstand any assault by the Arabs, and possibly take back all of former Kurdistan as well -- which would be a threat to Syria, to Iran, and to Turkey”.

Divide & rule eh! Taqquia & Kitman (Infedel Style). The good old British disease is alive & well…but simply exported to the US.

But I’ll bet that the original scope for American designs for the ME was a lot wider and the thinking went something like this.

Dubiya “My dad was weak & couldn’t finish the job, but let me show everybody how tough cowboys are…yeehah!!!!!. We’ll invade Iraq…get rid of Saddam and the people will be really grateful to be liberated from tyranny”.

It will mean a happier bunch of muslims, secure oil supplies for the rest of the world (and they’ll be really grateful to us as well).

Afterwards, we’ll station a war group there ready to get rid of the mullahs in Iran & Syria & Libya et al. No one can stop us…after all we are the chosen ones….and we’ll secure the oil there as well and get rid of the nuclear threat from Iran too.

Dubiya, Colon, Cheney & Rummy … they all laughed over a glass of French wine while chewing Columbian tobacco & spitting into a spittoon. Being old, Rummy always missed and stained the white carpet, a fact not totally lost on Colon whose suit is still stained today as he got some too…Soooooooorie was the best he got.

It was supposed to be a foolproof plan. Colon was to lie at the UN and then well roll. After all how much opposition can be provided by a bunch of desert roaming rag heads with old guns & and a few RPGs.

Rummy had some advice for the local commanders too. “Look tall and accept the flower garlands from the grateful locals”, keep chewing that gum and wear sun glasses on your lobster red faces. Keep wearing your bullet proof vests to make yourselves looking bugger….eh bigger.

Of course virtually none of this happened….Dubya asked “Bugger (he learned it from Rummy) why are they not happy, where are the garlands, and why do they keep shooting at us…freaking RPGs and all”.

This led to Rummy making his historic “UnKnown Unknowns” speech.

Today rather than get less soldiers there, the US is thinking about sending more soldiers, Dubia has to beg for more money… “darn it, it’s costing us more than 4 Billion Dollars a month”….how in tarnation did that happen!

Mr Hugh, you want the soldier out of there by spring…fine…but don’t forget your policies gave birth to thousands of Jihadist who wouldn’t be there were it not for the invasion(s).

Leave …and you take the “fight” to your own shores. The reality is that the US will need thousands of soldiers in the ME just to stand still. ….Yes, it’s that bad! I suspect that this has done enormous harm to American interests in the longer term.

As for muslims in the US armed forces….if you don’t trust them…don’t let them join. And if one does want to join…let the courts decide (although I’m sure it would never get that far).

muzzie marines are about as apt as jewish nazis. The hare doesn't join a pack of hounds as an equal.

Muslims in the American Armed Forces.....

Ryan "piss ant" Anderson, the mentally deficient disgrace trying to send military ops secrets to al Qaida, the grenade roller Asan Akbar, another winner that never should've made it off of the sand without sporting a new leak, now we have this floater running away, and of course, lying about being kidnapped...

What an honorable horde of camoflaoge sporting barbarians they are.....Mohammad the pedophile must be beaming with glee down in hell, I'm sure of it.

God wants you back, Naseem. The truth is written on your heart. Turn away from the false prophet who has done you so much harm. There is no such thing as destiny; only freewill.

I see the real Naseem is back: the one who turns a blind eye and deaf ear to what the troubles in the Middle East are really about, but opens her mouth very wide, and puts her foot in it.

Here's something just for you to consider, Naseem, if you really give a damn about your co-religionists, let alone the lives of Co-aliton soldiers:

"Defend Arab Dissidents ," Clifford D. May.

"It is outrageous and amazing," wrote Salama Ni'mat, a columnist for the London-based Arabic-language daily Al-Hayat, "that the first free and general elections in the history of the Arab nation are to take place in January: in Iraq, under the auspices of American occupation, and in Palestine, under the auspices of the Israeli occupation."

Outrageous and amazing, perhaps. Illogical, hardly. In recent years, Americans and Israelis have begun to learn a difficult lesson: thugs and despots, even those who smile, take your money and call you friend, are not to be trusted. Better to quarrel with a democrat than toast with a dictator.

Yes, you say, but who are we to foist democracy on the Arabs? Maybe they regard such ideas as alien. Perhaps they would rather not bear the strain of choosing their own leaders.

Not at all, Ni'mat wrote in a recent column, translated by the invaluable Middle East Media Research Institute. "What prevents some of the Arab regimes from holding free and genuine elections is their fear of the results, and nothing more - that is, their fear of the will of their peoples."

If that wasn't enough to raise blood pressure among the Middle East's ruling classes, Ni'mat also called it "sad and pathetic that certain countries today are treating the Iraqis with the cheapest kind of political hypocrisy, even though no one heard any particular Arab protest during the time of the Regime of the Mass Graves" - a poetic way of referring to Saddam Hussein's bloody dictatorship.

And he concluded with this challenge: "Can independent and sovereign Arab countries give their peoples something better than what the occupation is giving today to Iraq and Palestine?" Ni'mat may not be part of a chorus, but he's hardly alone. Recently, Egyptian journalist Nabil Sharaf Al-Din expressed similar ideas - on Al-Jazeera television, of all places.

"We are not being fair to the current Iraqi government," he said. "Not me, nor you, nor the other guest on this program, not even the viewers. But history will do justice to them. These people are establishing the first democracy in the Middle East. This country will be a platform for liberties in the whole region. ... For the first time the Iraqi leader will be elected by Iraqi ballots."

The displeased interviewer quoted Sheik Al-Dhari, head of the Sunni Clerics Council in Iraq, to the effect that Americans would not permit real democracy but only continued occupation.

Nabil Sharaf Al-Din fired back: "This Al-Dhari is a mufti of terrorism and slaughter. This Al-Dhari is the military branch of the murderers, the military branch of terrorism and televised slaughtering This Al-Dhari ... and his group... Sir, please..."

Such flowerings of truth are encouraging. Still, it is not inevitable that the Middle East's fledgling pro-democracy dissidents will defeat the forces of totalitarianism, Baathism, jihadism and terrorism.

If they are to prevail, they will need help and support from the peoples of the Free World, just as the dissidents of Eastern Europe did.

But most Western Europeans regard the notion of Arabs living in decent, democratic societies as ludicrous - like Eskimos wearing bikinis.

The United Nations long ago morphed into a dictators' protection society. We now know that officials at the highest levels worked hand-in-glove with the "Regime of the Mass Graves," and that they ignored the killing fields of Darfur as long as possible.

Even most of the American media view Arab freedom fighters as either inauthentic or uninteresting. Last Sunday, as the Libyan dissident Fathi Eljami was being held, incommunicado and ailing, in Moammar Gadhafi's infamous Abu Salim prison, The New York Times Travel Section featured Libya, which it called "a once-forbidden fruit ...a complicated and confounding land."

The Times writer added: "Despite American air strikes designed to kill its leaders, and a Bush administration that has enflamed Muslims around the world, I found the Libyans to be warm and self-deprecating. And despite being branded a rogue terrorist state by the international community, Libya felt perfectly safe in both urban and rural areas."

What's next? A wine tour of North Korea? The State Department could do much more to support President Bush's "forward strategy of freedom" and "Broader Middle East and North Africa Initiative." Perhaps it will, once Condoleezza Rice takes command.

Meantime, in one corner of the "broader" Middle East this week, Hamid Karzai was sworn in as Afghanistan's first elected president. "We thank the people of the United States of America for bringing us this day, a day of peace, a day of democracy, a day of empowerment of the Afghan people," Karzai said.

Should Americans ever lose their willingness to bring about such days, it is unlikely that anyone else would take up the burden.

(Clifford D. May, a former New York Times foreign correspondent, is the president of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies a policy institute focusing on terrorism.)

With these fanatic, disloyal muzzies there can only be a wise policy, that of getting rid of them all first and leaving it up to someone in Hell to sort them out.

This guy was from West Jordan, Utah? Oh my heck. Those Mormons are slacking off. Time to send the mishies over for a little "discussion" about the real One True Faith™.

GAG me. This article from the New York Times illustrates the Muslim problem in a nutshell:

In Utah, Two Faiths and One Prayer
By NICK MADIGAN and MELISSA SANFORD
Published: July 1, 2004

SALT LAKE CITY, June 30 - The men, all Muslims, kneeled in unison at evening prayers in the Khadeeja mosque, their incantations laced with anxiety over the fate of one of their spiritual brothers, a marine held captive on the other side of the world.

Skipping ahead to the point...

On Monday, several Mormon women approached the Hassoun family in West Jordan, a Salt Lake City suburb, and asked if they could organize an event to raise awareness of Corporal Hassoun's predicament, one of the women, Irene Smith, said.

Ms. Smith said that members of the family, who have largely been in seclusion since Sunday, replied that prayers had already been arranged at the mosque, and that they were welcome to attend.

In other words, the Hassoun family completely rebuffed the attempts of the Mormon community to reach out to them, even if by such efforts their OWN SON might have been saved. Can't acknowledge another faith, can they?

Instead, the Hassouns told the Mormons to come pray with THEM at the MOSQUE. And the Mormons being nice & sweet went with them to the mosque.

Muslims will not assimilate.

They will live "peacefully, side by side" until there are just a few more of them.

They will not show the people of Utah, or anyone else, the same respect that they themselves demand.

We here at Jihad Watch called this at the time.

Too many problems with Hassoun's "story".

Catherine is correct...Hassoun's papers were found in a terrorist safehouse in Fallujah.

Also, remember the "problematic" connections the imam at his mosque in the U.S. had.

The penalty for desertion can be death.

In light of what we are learning of Hassoun, he appears to be much more than simply a deserter.

Let the Hassoun family be carefully watched.

Desertion & treason is the same.

I am surprised that nobody calls for the obvious: Execution!!!

Have we all gone gaga? Is nothing sacred for us and "holy" only a word that belongs to muzzies?

John Walker Lind( the Taliban,) and the muzzie-creep who rolled hand granades into the tent of his fellow soldiers and now this "economic migrant" refugee - come marine deserter and so many more:

Up against the wall and make sure EVERYBODY KNOWS!!

How can anyone respect such an idiotic system that "exposes & punishes" perpetrators against Iraqi "civilians"- against the best interest of the nation while letting traitors , deserters and converts to terror off the hook?

The message must be driven home: Trespas and you will be shot!!!
