I have been surprised that more troops haven't been captured, as opposed to just killed, if the terrorists could do it...
After all, Zarqawi seemed to get a lot of traction, and well earned reputation from his videos with captured civilians, as well as Matt Maupin.
I wouldn't be surprised if the "new" leadership doesn't want to put out it's own video...to "prove his mettle".
I haven't noticed ONE democrat come out and speak about these troops and ask for prayers. I have been waiting for them to USE the incident to push their agenda to pull the troops out now, though.
God Bless them both...and their families.
Oh, they'd love to do it more if the cowards could - But the bottom line is capturing a "alive" a U.S. warrior on the battlefield just isn't going to happen without some tremendous dumbfound luck on our enemies side (along with Mr. Murphy likely playing a significant role to boot).
We'll hunt down these SOBs responsible. Of this I have no question -
Lets continue to pray for these soldiers and if they were captured alive lets pray those who hold them are simply looking for a payout -
