If he’s in the hands of the Taliban, I hope he’s strong in mind and heart.
If he joined them of his own volition, I’m going to be pretty p*ssed if any other soldiers die trying to resuce him!!
If they kill him, pull our guys back and carpet bomb the country into submission.
TV news made it sound as if he went out with no weapons or protection.
So is he a Muzlem convert?
And I agree . . . carpet bomb ‘em. We’ve lost too many great young men over in the Middle East and we’re not appreciated for what we have done, including all the aid we’ve given.
Anybody notice how happy the reporting was from the treacherous NYT?
NY Times reporter gets kidnapped by the Taliban? We must maintain absolute secrecy, for the reporter’s safety!
American Soldier gets kidnapped by Taliban? Why, let’s spread the news far and wide.
Does anything else need be said about the scum-buckets who claim to be “journalists”?
In a sane world....
We would select the HIGHEST ranking and most beloved terrorist prisoner in our hands - and declare he will die if the captured soldier is not released unharmed..
I’m sure that Amnesty International, the Arab Red Cross, the Peace not Bombs Babes, the U.N. and without doubt the Rev. Tutu and beloved Mandela will seek the release and avoid the video taped beheading.....
Right?
If not - I would release about 150 terrorist prisoners over the neighborhood where the soldier was captured — from about 5000 feet.
I'm sure the Taliban are worried about being captured NOW.
I hope that publicizing this information doesn’t endanger the soldier, but I’m certain the NYT took that into consideration before they published it. After all, they aren’t a bunch of America hating liberal hypocrites or anything.
