Thank, kattracks, I loved this story. Wish we could have at least given the barefoot fellows shoes, but I know they mainly just wanted to get home and find out about their families.

I'm so glad my country took the lead in liberating Iraq! It is an especially wonderful time to be an American.

I'm sure they'll find a bunch of sandalls, shoes and even militay issue boots, left behind by Republican Guard and Saddam Feydayeen members who no longer have any need for them.

It's rotten that we are releasing any barefoot POWs 500 miles from home. They should be issued boots, clothes, and at least $20 each from the billions in Saddam's cash we have siezed.

These POWs should go home as allies and pro-American ambassadors to their neighborhoods and families. Sending them home barefoot and penniless is a huge opportunity squandered! This is a psyops fiasco!
