Militants take credit for kidnapping US soldiers

Cairo, Egypt - An umbrella militant group in Iraq says it kidnapped two US soldiers south of Baghdad. A statement posted on an Islamic Web site says "your brothers in the military wing"

I really hope this isn't true.

This is my prayer, but 'evil goes on', changing faces from Saddam to Zarqawi, to Abuayyub...

This group has also claimed the kidnapping of others earlier this month so their claim seems to be very dubious, see:

If the jihadis really have grabbed a couple of our guys, the MSM will use that to push back against the people saying the insurgency is in its death throws after the Zark attack.

I am heart sick about this and am very concerned about both the soldiers welfare and that of their families in the time to come. I am also angry about the potential use of our emotions against us by the MSM and the Islamists. People like Cindy Sheehan, John Kerry and John Murtha use incidents like this in a callow and ruthless manner behind their appearance of concern.

My eyes are never dry when I start imagining 'what they are going through', that happens to me at each hostage situation, when we talk about these "people" that behave so inhuman.
'Religion of p...' I am sick.

As to Cindy Sheehan, I am sorry for her loss but it can never be an excuse for her degradation of her son's name, I can't grasp her "motherly" love.
