Dear God in Heaven,

We thank you for this victory. We not only thank you for it, we claim it, and we ask that you will seal it. Father, in the name of our Shepard, we claim the entire and ultimate Victory over terrorism. We claim the Victory over all the forces of the enemies of Freedom, according to your own Will and Timing. Let not the Spoilers come near our total Victory with their plots and ploys and lies, to defraud our troops and our nation of that Victory. God, our Father, please guide our President and all our leaders and all our troops and allies this day and all the days to come.

amen

Didn't Saddam's Iraqi army have "real" uniforms...not black pjs?

[FairOpinion]

They are wearing BLACK outfilts to blend into the surroundings. These are NOT military uniforms.

During Saddam's rule they spent their time beheading women.

See my post with its references:

Can you tell I'm working up a head of steam..??

Haha!

Just because they are in uniform doesn't guarantee them POW status. If they were all in McDonald's foodserver uniform, they would be on their way to Gitmo.

The uniform must, I believe, be a publicized uniform of the military of a recognized nation.

Just some old uniform (a la the minions of Ernst Blofeld) will not do it.

I kept hitting refresh, waiting for Dog to post it first...again. (^:

Dog is a quick one on the trigger. :-)

I heard the news when I walked in and dove into Breaking News here. It was the first thing to pop into mind. LOL!

[mystery-ak]

Yes, but I think this is a branch..led by Saddam's dead little boys....let's see how this plays out.

[tsmith130]

SOLDIER 1: "What uniforms? I didn't see any uniforms. Did you see any uniforms?"

SOLDIER 2: "Nope, I didn't see any uniforms."

SOLDIER 3: "They were wearing all black because it makes your butt look smaller. But it wasn't a uniform. Fashion statement maybe,but definitely not a uniform."

END OF REPORT

[monocle]

Could it be that they are making certain that they will be treated as prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention?

Hey I was watching football.

[oceanview]

uh oh. Rita Cosby coming up with "new information" on FNC, she has been "working the phones".

Maybe they were inspired by Hillary's black pants suit...

It looks like Hitlery and her DNC have already faxed out their talking points that the Fedayeen Saddam are not terrorists and should be treated as POWs.

[prairiebreeze]

Fashion statement....FOFL!!

You are correct...now let's wait and see what the US brass has to say...they may or may not recognize these pj's as uniforms.
