Simple solution. Bush goes on MSM tonight at 8:00 PM sharp. He states that he will lob missles into one of the terrorist supporting nations if any of the Christians looses their life.

One head, twenty missles. Two heads, you know the drill.

It will stop.

Oh, wait a minute. These are Peace Activists. Let me rethink my position here.

So manly, so barbaric, so politically incorrect.

I love it!

If in doubt, ask any Japanese person who was influenced by Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Nobody ever got their a$$ kicked for being too strong.


Oh wait...If we save them, they'll be camped out in Crawford to tell the president what a horrific job he'sdoing on the war on terror. Throw them under the bus, they are not worth getting real patriots killed for.

If it weren't for the upcoming Iraqi elections, which are temporarily tying down our options for new action, I would completely agree with the above. I assume 50:50 that these "hostages" are staging what is a cynical ploy to make the "50 year old politically independently female" "lose more faith in the war"...which is what the game has been lately.

I am 95% sure that these "Christian" "hostages" would be blaming Bush and squealing with delight if a contractor or GI were being held hostage.

It would be "delicious irony" if the President actually took one of these possibly staged incidents and did what he would have done in the Berlin Crisis (both the ones in 1960 and 1961) or Berlin Airlift (1948, 1949)...treated it like another country was behind it and drew a line in the sand.

President Bush has been violating a major theme for 3 years now: that of NOT treating terrorism as a criminal matter but, rather, just letting our soldiers be a target for Iranian "shaped charge" IEDs. By leaving Iran in place to kill Americans and good Shiites in Iraq, the President is possibly prostrating himself before the world's left wing who have successfully used their nagging over a past event (Iraq liberation) to stop a vitally needed future or present event (Iran liberation).

If the President isn't cynically leaving Iran around long enough for a "looming battle" to take place during 2006 election campaign...then he might consider (after the Iraqi elections) using the taking of "peace activist" hostages as a pretext for finally cleaning out the rest of the Mideast Augean Stables (sic).

Target Damascus and Tehran with about 250 Megatonnes each. I am willing to wager that the "hostage crisis" AND IEDs will come to a screeching halt in 24 hours.

It's hard to get support from a smoking, radioactive hole...
