‘Let’s Talk About The President Doing Blow’: Rep. West Pushes Back on Town Hall Question

When a few attendees at a Florida town hall meeting tried to rattle Rep. Allen West (R-FL) with questions about his service in the U.S. Army, the congressman brushed it off and suggested they also go back and talk about the time President Obama snorted benzoylmethylecgonine (i.e. “cocaine” or “blow”).

“If you guys want to go back and talk about what happened nine years ago to me, let’s talk about the president doing blow,” Rep. West said.

The attendees questioned Rep. West about an Article 15 hearing he was involved in as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term “Article 15,” it’s defined as follows:

Nonjudicial punishment (NJP) refers to certain limited punishments which can be awarded for minor disciplinary offenses by a commanding officer or officer in charge to members of his/her command.

[…]

Article 15, of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, (UCMJ), and Part V of the Manual for Courts-Martial, constitute the basic law concerning nonjudicial punishment procedures. The legal protection afforded an individual subject to NJP proceedings is more complete than is the case for nonpunitive measures, but, by design, is less extensive than for courts-martial.

But why would they ask Rep. West about an Article 15 hearing? They asked because they were bringing up a controversial incident the congressman was involved in when he served in Iraq, Townhall’s Katie Pavlich explains. Here’s the story as reported by Deborah Sontag of the New York Times:

Intent on foiling a reported plot to ambush him and his men, Colonel West, a battalion commander, made a calculated decision to intimidate the Iraqi officer with a show of force. An interrogation under way was going nowhere, Colonel West said in an interview, and he chose to take the matter into his own hands.

”This could get ugly,” he told his soldiers. But, he said, he imposed limits: ”This man will not be injured and he will not have to be repaired. There will be no blood and no breakage of bones.”

Still, Colonel West wanted the Iraqi policeman, Yehiya Kadoori Hamoodi, to think ”this was going to be the end” if he did not divulge what he knew. So Colonel West presided over what he considered a time-sensitive interrogation that grew steadily more abusive until he himself fired a pistol beside Mr. Hamoodi’s head.

Rep. West was fined for the incident but retired with full benefits and honors. And he’s never been apologetic about it, saying he would do it all over again.

“If you guys have a problem with the fact that people were out there planning to kill my soldiers and I found a guy and I put a pistol, you know, and shot over his head,” Rep. West said, “… if you guys have a problem with that, then you need to go talk to someone else because if I’m in that exact same situation, I’m making the same decision.”

Other than getting attention similar to the way Ann Coulter, Rush or others do. Difference is this guy is on the federal payroll and is supposed to be doing something productive with his time.

      What policies were the *****’s in the crowd inquiring about when they tried to disrupt the event with their “questions” about the article 15 issue?

      Seems to me that their presence there, and your constant presence here, are both designed to serve the same purpose. To disrupt and deflect.

      Rook, please post some links or evidence to you r claim that he does “relatively nothing”.

      I actually follow his activities rather closely rook. If you visit his site and subscribe, he will send you a weekly email that describes in detail everything that he is involved with.

      In my humble opinion rook, he does far more for the benefit of this nation, than any five democrats combined. And that is a conservative estimate at best.

      This is the military equivalent of a plea bargain. It wasn’t just this incident; West’s peers questioned his fitness for command. In any case West violated the Military Code of Honor and the Geneva Convention in this witnessed event, one that ended his military career. One of his subordinates sent word of his actions up the chain and his actions were verified by others. So everybody made nice. He got an honorable discharge, and the military got rid of him.

      This is just like that person that recently left your company. Yeah, they were “pursuing othe opportunities and got severance pay. He got something and the company got something: they got rid of him without a big hassle.

Mr West voted for the NDAA. That which would allow the government hold us indeffinetly without the opportunity to call a lawyer, no chance for trial, just held even if there isnt enough proof to prosecute. Mr West I respected you untill you voted FOR this.

      GOD’s greatest achievement, has become nothing but hate and evil, for nothing more than a paper dollar. We should all be ashamed. Including me.

      West voted for those because military funding was attached to everyone of those bills. Being a military guy he’s not about to allow soldiers in the field go without while Progressive Socialist play politics with the lives of service men.

      When the conservatives threatened not to extend the raising of the budget with more loans. King Hussein and the MSM media accused them of pushing grandma over the cliff. When the progressives threatened to cut military funding unless these bills were passed no one in the MSM cared how many soldiers would die for lack of supplies? West made the decision not to play politics and make sure the soldiers had proper supplies.

      Our job as citizens, if we don’t like the bill put people in place to remove it from the books. Everything that has happened to the American people is the fault of people who do nothing but sit on their rearends and wait for someone else to handle it. Get off your couch in November and take someone to vote who believes as you believe. Two votes make a bigger difference than one, let’s double up in November.

      This apparently hit quiet a nerve between us. I like Allen West personally, I believe he’s on the right side on many many things and he really knows how to sting left wing progressives. I personally never would have brought up the NDAA thing against him, but it was brought up.
      From my perspective, people lost there focus and went to defend someone they like, about something i believe he was clearly wrong about.
      I have no clue of Ausername’s political affiliation, but the point he brought up is truthful and one that’s bothered me a lot. I didnt want to see West go down the path of big governent and anti-civil rights, but he did on this one and hasnt given any indication he feels it was a mistake that im aware of. So until he does I cannot trust him when it comes to protecting the constitution.
      If you think West was right on the NDAA, then you must think Jim DeMint was wrong in standing against it.
      I dont think the military should be able to come to your house in the middle of the night, lock you up for the rest of you life and never have to charge you with any crime or have any evidence against you. Many on here seem to and West supported this too when he voted for the NDAA.
      Will it ever be enforced? maybe not, but thats besides the point, that one bill invalidated half of the bill of rights. Im sorry no matter how much you like West he was simply wrong on this issue and defending it because you like the guy(i do myself on most things)just makes you look inconsistant

    Accepting an Article 15 essentially makes one’s commander the judge and jury. It is a choice of forum. A commander offers an Article 15 to the service member. The service member can accept it or reject it. If he rejects it the commander then determines whether to send the service member to a court-martial. Commanders should never offer an Article 15 unless they are prepared to take the charges to a court-martial.

      Very true statement regarding a commander not offering an Article 15 unless he is prepared to go all the way to courts martial. Although, back in my day, anytime you screwed up just a little on BCT the DI would ask you, you want an Article 15? Once, I told the DI, yea go ahead give me one. He took me in front of the CO and I told him what happened and that I would refuse the Article 15 and wanted a courts martial. The CO decided it wasn’t worth the time or energy. I never did have any disciplinary action adjudicated against me…but maybe that is why I got orders for Vietnam?

      Nice try, but that doesn’t mean anything. Attorneys give up their law licenses all the time for one reason or another. Many law professors give up their licenses because they no longer need them as they are no longer practicing law. It costs money to keep a law license so if it is not being used there is no point in continuing to pay the bar fees.

      It’s public knowledge that both Queen and King Hussein had to surrender their law license while practicing in Illinois.

      How do you not know this, do you people research anything other than what is told to you on the MSM?

    This man got a whiff of lib usurper stench and he knew how to handle it. With cold, hard ,unapologetic truth. I wish Romney was this tough. He’ll have to be by November. COLD, HARD ,UNAPOLOGETIC TRUTH. Start practicing Romney. Obama will spew HOT, SOFT, APOLOGETIC LIES and the media will eat it up. It’s time to have a sit-down with Col. West.

    Lt. Col. Allen West should be Mitt Romney’s choice for VP. This man has strength of character and convictions – something that is sorely lacking in todays political spectrum. He says what he means and he means what he says.

      It would be a total waste of Col. Wests’ talents to put him in the role of VP. You never want a VP who outshines the President. He would be better in an administration position such as Secretary of Defense or in the State Department. It would be unfair to him and the nation to make him a presidential lapdog. Keep up the great work Col. West!!!

    Republican heroes are hot heads.

    They fold under pressure.

    If a few hecklers can unnerve Rep. West he would be putty in the hands of skilled foreign negotiators. Such a man is not fit for public service.

      Where do you get that he folded? He stood up to them and told the truth, that he would do it again. If that is folding he can fold for me anytime. I would love for him to be my president after he has had some experience. I am waiting on Bobby Jindal though.

      In fact BOBBY JINDAL/ALLEN WEST 2016!

      Here is West’s negotiating with Iran. He fires one in on the Iranian parliament while on the phone with their so called leader. He tells the ********** on the phone the next 6 will be landing in your startup power plants.

      Any questions?

      That’s the only diplomacy that these Muslims understand.

      Axelrod had it about right when he sed “You can’t handle the truth…” He wasn’t talking about Mitt — he was silently inferring the TRUTH that since its inception the usa has been OWNED…. Willful ignorance, ostrich syndrome doesn’t make it go away. It is what it is — enjoy it while it lasts and thank a vet — they mean well. Just mist da part when Gen Smedley Butler shed a lil light on the subject late in his life — I‘m SURE West knew exactly what he ’volunteered’ for. Sometimes in civilian life we’re placed in similar situations; they just involve our ability to save the lives of our FAMILIES at the expense of the ‘boss.’ Self-preservation is an animal condition. Humans are animals. :-)

    Well, this administration loves to use examples of mistakes this country has made in the past to bolster their argument that the Constitution & America’s foundation is flawed & evil. So that means, if someone makes a mistake in their past, then that means their entire life is a failure, right?

    And please media people. Stop saying Obama could’ve gone to “jail”. Use the word PRISON.

I’ll tell ya folks, there is no doubt in my mind that if we had to fight WWII now, we would lose tragically. America has no stomach or common sense anymore. As a veteran, it saddens me to no end.
