Prayers for the abducted Filipino...
As I have stated before, keep ticking off the world. Some of us will place a bounty on your head.
aww geeze, not this **** again!
The arabs have little regard for Filipinos anyway. I feel for this poor guy. I am detecting a patern though. They are grabing people from different coalition countries to see if they can get their military to leave the coaltion in Iraq-Japan, South Korea, Turkey, etc.
How will the Phillipine goverment react?
Will they pull a Spain or a SK?
Hmmmm....it seems strange to me that they have taken another hostage and threatened beheading right after freeing the American and taking him to safety.
The American Muslim winds up free from the terrorists AND free from the military, safe in Lebanon. I have not been following this one too closely, but it would be a rather unique way of getting out of duty. Forgive me if I'm way off base (so to speak)...it just struck me as unusual.
Regardless, I pray for the safety of this latest hostage.
Hey Iraq....you need to start delivering on those threats against these thugs. Actions will speak louder than words!
I think people are going to start going numb to this tactic.
Tell me again why our Spooks can't monitor/track Al-Jazeera's internet and wire? If they follow the electrons, they should be able to bomb several safehouses in unison.
Al-Jazeera television should be asked to refrain from encouraging the capture and beheading of foreign nationals by running these videos.
If they decline, block their broadcasts. If they circumvent the blocking device, drop bombs on their broadcasting facilities reducing them to rubble.
Take away their propaganda arm and these barbarians will have less incentive to kidnap and behead. If they still want to do the kidnapping and beheading, well they'll be severely hampered in their efforts to spread the terror of their actions.
If the guy's already wearing an orange jumpsuit, he's toast.
I wonder how they came about the 72 hour deadline.
I bet there were sitting around:
Abdullah "I think 96 hours is good"
Samir "No I think 48 hours is better, more absolute!"
Zarqawi "Friend, we will compromise and allow 72 hours"
They sure do stick with that number.
Are they going to try this with every single danged country in Iraq?

I've said this before: Implant GPS devices under the skin of all foreigners in Iraq. End of kidnapping problem.

Ito ay sapagkat sa ganitong paraan inibig ng Diyos ang sanlibutan kaya ipinagkaloob niya ang kaniyang bugtong na Anak upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kaniya ay hindi mapahamak kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan.
May God be with this brave filipino. Talaga!
