                         GIVE NAVY SEALS MEDALS

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, 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.
