If anything happens to them I'd hate to be in these "guerrillas" shoes.

You just knew that the terrorists would try some "high publicity" atrocity after we got Zarqawi. I hope to God that we are responding to this with a MASSIVE search. They had better have EVERY available man cordoning off areas and kicking in every door to find these guys!!

Isn't it time this war WAS FOUGHT AND WON AND DONE WITH??

This Viet Nam style of pandering, game playing, soft touch, hands off, bull crap should have been over a long time ago. Fight it - win it -- and leave.

I am a vet of VN -- too bad the US government was not replaced by serious workers, in lieu of the limp, pandering, game playing pols we have now. I would have a lot of friends still alive if it had been different.

Drive-by lib, probably. All three articles were negative. One title was changed to make it more negative, and the single comment was explaining that it couldn't change an erroneous title without "corrupting" the author's work...

Good catch.

Our military reporting that the men were believed to have been taken away in a truck. Blood found in the truck and at this time there is no further information.....released.

NYSlimes is reporting information gained from their 'sources'....IOW, terrorists on their payroll.

Iraq is not Viet Nam.

We are in urban areas where it is impossible to discern friend from foe.

Would you have our military firebomb the entire Sunni Triangle?

That crap hole should have been cleaned out years ago. Bombs, troops, whatever. Go ahead, rationalize the limp approach to this war...it is all fostered by the liberal leftist media who the Repubs are scared to death of...

If Reagan or Eisenhower were fighting this war, it would have been over years ago.

Iraq will achieve Vietnam status in 70 years.

At 800 dead per year, that is when there will be 58,000 dead American soldiers in Iraq. Same as Vietnam.

Unfortunately for liberals Vietnam status will come when they turn 120 to 130.

Any time there is an Islamist atrocity, immediately declare amnesty and/or pardon for any American heretofore accused of a war crime or atrocity over there and let it be understood that we will not wear silk slippers in a combat zone with terrorists. The people who harbor these terrorists know perfectly well what they are doing, and since they choose and probably want to be the enemy, let them often be found dead when necessary along with the ones they are harboring, as the occasions for anti-terrorist transactions occur.
