Right. That was pointed out earlier, and as I suspected. So, any extraditions would have to be negotiated.

I went through Yahoo Iraq image archives, 900 or more images and still cannot find the picture of the soldiers, but I will keep looking. The picture bothered me so much because the soldiers looked as if they fell where they were standing, never had any warning, never attempted to defend themselves.

"We have no official final comment at this point" a spokesman told the newspaper.

Translation:We're waiting for you to sweeten the offer before we act on this.

Your post made me physically ill.

I had not connected those dots.

Let us know if you find out more.

Bless you. I wonder if a search or request at military.com would help...

FN, now..before I go off, I'll just say this:

There are plenty of reasons why they should NOT be allowed in our military.

Reason #1
PC keeps them safe from prosecution for fear of being called racists. That's why this traitorous piece of pig $hit should be put under.

That's the only justice that will do.

Reason #2

Their allegiance is to islam 1st.

That's all for me tonight.

Out.

That pic disappeared from Yahoo images quite some time ago. It was only after reading about Hassoun again today I decided to go through the archives. Nothing there that I can find.
I know I might be a little obsessional about this, but it's a hunch I've had ever since the very beginning, Hassoun was lying from the moment he opened his mouth, I recall laughing at the staged scene where he was blindfolded so tenderly that his hair wasn't mussed up. He was almost smiling from behind the 'blindfold'.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that he had been allowed out (to some family function?) and naturally, he simply disappeared. Canada was where he used a credit card, and now he's in Lebanon.

At that time I discovered there were some 15,000 muslim personnel in the defence forces. One would be too many IMO.

I don't remember the sniper teams getting ambushed and his disappearance occurring at similar times.

My guess is Mossad knows where he is hiding, has given us the info and Rice is probing the Lebanese (read Syrian) response.

In all ways I prefer him to die a slow and painful death. I hadn't seen anything in print on the sniper ambush that may have led to his involvement, though it wouldn't surprise me.

[Fred Nerks]

He looks positively tewified!

That pic I can't find, although I have the broken link and I have run it through The Wayback Machine without success, was dated June 21.

Hassoun deserted (left the base with a weapon and a military vehicle) on June 20.
