MSNBC: Izzat al-Dori has not been captured.

Recalls the scene in Kelly's heroes where Oddball's Sherman tank platoon finally finds a bridge that can get them across an intervening river.

Tank Commander Oddball: "Well, it's a railroad bridge isn't it?" "Well then, beautiful, we swing down on the railroad tracks, and rigghht over da bridge...."

Moriarity: "All over da bridge. Sure. Suppose the bridge ain't there?"

Oddball: "Oh man. Don't hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning." "Think: "That bridge will be there," and it'll be there. It's a mother-beautiful bridge, and it's gonna be there"

Oddball: "It's still up!"

[Airplanes pass over, and bombs and explosions blow the bridge to splinters]

Oddball: "No it ain't.... See what sending out them negative waves did, Moriarity?"

Moriarity: "Hey, that ain't my fault. I've had nothing but good thoughts about that bridge ever since we left." "What Now?"

Oddball: "It looks like we're gonna have to find ourselves another bridge...."

Moriarity: "And where are we going to find another bridge?"

Oddball: "There you go again: more negative waves. Have a little faith, baby, have a little faith...."

He's been captured...No he ain't....

[Have a little faith, baby....]

Lol! Thanks, archy. The press is always quick to bring us unverified rumors.

I haven't even taken my tank out for a spin, yet.

"That bridge will be there."
