yeah, they were kidnapped, like Patty Hearst was.
Oslo syndrome.
"We immediately distanced ourselves from the Americans and stuck to the French position,"
"The French position""...we were there to do our work and show the realities of the resistance."
Need we say more? (Moore)
Yep, those are Osama-types. Wonder if the MSM will follow up.
They know they are marked for death if they delineate from the prescribed story they were told to say as a condition of their release. The old saying: "you may know who we are but we definitely know who you are" is evident. They fear for their life. Any Islamic Jihadi can kill them at any minutes notice anywhere in France or the rest of the world. They will spout the Jihad line that America is doomd to failure in Iraq in order to ave their own a$$.
Thugs all of them.
"They know they are marked for death if they delineate from the prescribed story they were told to say as a condition of their release"
Very possible.
But I think ""The French position""...we were there to do our work and show the realities of the resistance.", is the truth, not a story.
"...The French position...was the equivilent of a white flag..." Hee hee. He's got that part right.
This could easily be a quote by Chirac, or any number (majority) of U.N. member nations.
I bet that was also his conviction before he was captured.
So be it. Let's redouble our efforts to kill them. We can be more savage than any cowardly Muslim.

>They thought being French would be the equivalent of a white >flag, a "get out of jail free card" or at least a means of >assuring a timely release. France has long believed that it >has a special relation with the Arab world and that it wields >more leverage than other nations.
Ummm, so what they are saying is that the world should treat these murdering thugs the same way France has so that they can consider irrivelevant as well?
Sounds to me like this guy has been indoctrinated and is a mouthpiece for the terrorists.
We've got a whole lot of killing to do...from Andulasia to China.
they think big. Like the Iranian Mullahs.
In our MSM they're often posed as angry about Abu Ghraib or miffed Ariel Sharon wouldn't meet Arafat.
This is just proof that the War on Terror is an us or them fight.
It's also proof that we can't count on France for anything. If these fools are stupid enough to believe that they are somehow safe from these fanatics even in France, well...
Nah....they broke him.
We're DOOMED!!
ha, if they do I'll bet its some how our fault.
An article posted here not long ago quoted one of these guys as saying he kept hoping to see the Americans so they would be rescued.
I could be wrong, but he may have even said that he was "praying" for the Americans to come.
They hate us with everything they have until they need to be rescued. As usual.
