American Sniper's Muslim Iraqi Interpreter Claims Kyle Was Not Racist

In response to MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin's claims that Chris Kyle, the man portrayed in Clint Eastwood's box office hit American Sniper, was racist and participated in "killing sprees", Kyle's Iraqi Muslim interpreter fired back with the following:

“When we had a sniper mission, he would watch the targets. Then, sometimes I would go take care of something and he was never afraid that I was returning with my M4 and grenades. And not just Kyle, all the SEALs I worked with.

Kyle said I trust Johnny Walker with my life. When I came to America, I got invited to Chris’s book signing in La Jolla.

When Chris saw me at the event he left everyone and just came up to me and hugged me. Because he hadn’t seen me since 2007 and thought I could have died and had no idea where I was. After he signed the book, he was going to speak. Ten seconds into his speech, he said I am not an American hero. Johnny Walker is the American hero and then he made me stand up.

Then, he said that I saved more SEALs’ lives than him. Pointing at me, and I am an Iraqi Muslim. So how is this racist?

Sometimes I would forget to bring an MRE to a sniper mission. Chris would share his MRE and he would talk about family. If he was racist towards Muslims why would he share intimate details of his life with a Muslim? I don’t see that in any way as racist. I think the ones calling Chris Kyle racist are racists.

If you’re going to call Chris Kyle racist, then call me a racist too. At times we were on the base, Kyle would laugh with the other Iraqi soldiers and joke with them. Again, why would a racist engage in that behavior?

The insurgents had a $50,000.00 bounty on my head. Every time Chris Kyle killed an insurgent he saved my family, and the innocent Iraqi families too. Why would a racist man protect me and innocent Iraqi families?

People should be respecting and honoring him. It hurts Taya, his brother, his dad, his children, his whole family and everyone in the SEAL community when people say such things about a man like Kyle. He treated me, an Iraqi Muslim, like a brother. So everyone needs to give him the respect that he fully deserves, and finally let the man rest in peace.”

Well, there ya go, Ayman! He was there doing his job not hating on Iraqis.

Of course, he's not the only one critical of a movie that shattered box office records. Most reviews have been very positive, but people like Michael Moore and Seth Rogen piped in with their not-so positive say about snipers, and the perceived pro-war sentiment of the film.

Obama Threat To National Security- Claim Intelligence Officials In Documentary Film "Dishonorable Disclosures"

A fascinating documentary short, "Dishonorable Disclosures" explores the massive amount of security leaks that have occurred under Barack Obama's watch. Using the public disclosure of the Osama Bin Laden kill so soon after the incident as an example, ex-intelligence officers and special forces operatives discuss how incredibly detrimental that was, and how they believe that all the recent high level leaks including revealing the joint US/Israeli creation of the Stuxnet worm and divulging that Obama has a personal "kill list" was simply for political gain and irresponsible.  They want it to stop.  It puts those in Operational Security at risk, it endangers lives, it gets foreign nationals who help us, like the Pakistani doctor who led us to Bin Laden, jailed for 33 years.  Who will be willing to help us in the future if leaders like Obama are willing to throw them under the bus for political gain? No-one. 

They also explain how revealing information so soon after Bin Laden was killed compromised the whole operation and the ability to gather more intelligence.  And they blast him for inviting the Hollywood elite to share every detail of how the operation went down, again putting lives at risk.

[snip]in perhaps the most egregious display of ambition over country by a sitting President in modern times, the President of the United States mounted a media platform on a Sunday night at 2345 hours to announce to the voters that OBL had been killed.

This naked grandstanding came despite the fact that DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) and other operatives had recovered huge amounts of intelligence material, quite probably with information that could have been converted to actionable intelligence, to include dozens of flash drives, computer hard drives and documents that without doubt contained massive amounts of information on the names, locations and operations of Al Qaeda worldwide.

This may have been our sole opportunity to utterly and completely destroy Al Qaeda. But before any of this treasure trove of intelligence could be analyzed, without any thought as to consequences, and before any other terrorists could be seized, BHO ran to the stage and announced it to the entire world. In a few brief moments of selfish grandstanding and political opportunism, our Commander In Chief lost the single opportunity to exploit intelligence that, had secrecy been preserved, might well have crushed Al Qaeda once and for all.

Within a few minutes of that announcement, every AQ terrorist moved into another rabbit hole where they could not be found, so they could continue their murdering of American soldiers and innocent civilians across the globe. How many have died since that date?

They're also angry and tired of being politically exploited by Obama and the White House for pure political gain, while their lives and the lives of those in covert intelligence are compromised. It's unconscionable that a president would have such disregard for the men and women who already risk their lives for our freedoms. And it's particularly ironic that Obama took sole  credit for  killing Osama Bin Laden, and yet gives no credit to those business owners who built their businesses with their own hands. Yes, others built the infrastructure where those businesses are located- which is what Obama was apparently insinuating- just as it took a bunch of Navy Seals and a whole lot of intelligence operatives to track Bin Laden down and kill him.

They want Obama to keep his mouth shut, and at the end of the film they demand that of him.

Bottom line, there are some things that need to remain classified.  We can't afford another four years with Obama at the helm.

Veterans Slam Obama For Politicizing Bin Laden Kill

More backlash from Obama's "One Chance" campaign ad video where he insinuates Mitt Romney would not have taken out Osama Bin Laden had he been president. Arianna Huffington called it despicable. Dan Turner of the L.A. Times says the ad is "more than little distasteful" for taking Romney's comment "It's not worth moving heaven and Earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person" out of context. But veterans, and even former and active duty U.S. Navy SEALS (the ones who were responsible for dispensing with Bin Laden), have also chimed in criticizing Obama for politicizing the whole event.

A serving SEAL Team member said: ‘Obama wasn’t in the field, at risk, carrying a gun. As president, at every turn he should be thanking the guys who put their lives on the line to do this. He does so in his official speeches because he speechwriters are smart.

‘But the more he tries to take the credit for it, the more the ground operators are saying, “Come on, man!” It really didn’t matter who was president. At the end of the day, they were going to go.’

Chris Kyle, a former SEAL sniper with 160 confirmed and another 95 unconfirmed kills to his credit, said: ‘The operation itself was great and the nation felt immense pride. It was great that we did it.

‘But bin Laden was just a figurehead. The war on terror continues. Taking him out didn’t really change anything as far as the war on terror is concerned and using it as a political attack is a cheap shot.

‘In years to come there is going to be information that will come out that Obama was not the man who made the call. He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to speak out against the commander- in-chief so his secret is safe.’

As some have said, including Romney, presented with the same opportunity any president would have done exactly what Obama did, he just lucked out that it happened on his watch.

In response, Veterans For A Strong America have taken out their own powerful ad entitled "CREDIT".
