Breaking on MSNBC:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The top U.S. commander in Iraq thinks he knows who kidnapped three U.S. soldiers last weekend and believes that at least two of them are alive, the Army Times newspaper reported.

“We know who that guy is,” Gen. David Petraeus said in an interview posted Saturday on the Army Times Web site.

Petraeus did not give the man’s name but described him as “sort of an affiliate of al-Qaida. He’s the big player down in that area. We’ve tangled with him before.”

I've got a feeling this is going to be the last "tangle."

"Last Tangle In Quarghuli". It's got a certain ring to it.

Get our soldiers back and then vaporize the entire area.

Thanks,

Sorry, but this is thinking that is way too tactical.

Remember when the British sailors were released when the Iranians were let go?

Simply call Achmenijihad and say. “My boys home safe, sound in 24 hours or there will be a horrible accident involving a place and object where you don’t want to have an accident.”

And mean it.

Tactical thinking? I would remind you, the Israeli soldiers are still not home yet.
