Pray they weren't the stars in a Al Qaeda snuff video..

To be honest, I doubt they were ever in al-Qa'ida hands. They made a passing claim that they had them, no pictures, no proof. I'm sure that whatever insurgent group grabbed them quickly found them to be a hotter potato then they realized, dumped them quickly, and ran. We've been tearing Yussefiah and the surrounding areas apart trying to find them, and whoever had them probably realized that they weren't going to be able to hide for long.

If it was AQI, they'd have started with the video and photo gallery early, and played it up for a lot more PR value. This looks like the work of an insurgent kidnap for ransom group, who was probably trying to sell these two to the highest terrorist bidder. A good plan, but not if you can't keep yourself alive in the process.

"a tape of downing a helicopter and claiming capture of the soldiers"

Are these the same two soldiers missing after an ambush at a checkpoint over the weekend or was there another incident?

Prayers up for these brave guys and their families.

The reporter speculated that it was getting to hot and that sometimes results in them killing the hostages.

Where were their rights as POW's?

Who will speak to this issue?

Our troops are CERTAIN that they cannot survive capture. This confirms it.

This certainty will affect how they fight. They will fight to the death.

It will affect their ALERT reflex. They will alert sooner and kill faster because they know that it's a pure "kill or be killed" environment.

Why in the hell doens't each and every American soldier have a GPS chip inside their body?

Then no one would take a U.S. soldier hostage. Which sounds good, unless you consider the alternative.

Me, I'll take my chances with escape or rescue, thanks.

Very good point.

Mike Boettcher in Iraq is still trying to get confirmation but has been unable to do so.

Killing zarc would never have happened either. Tell them that retreat and defeat NEVER lead to Victory... EVER!

GOD bless our Military, and may GOD bless and comfort their families. Amen!

Consider this.

We have hundreds of prisoners from this operation.

How many of our soldiers are prisoners?

Answer: Zero.

Our troops know that there is no such thing as POW status that will be granted them in this war.

"The Mansions of the Lord"
Words by Randall Wallace


To fallen soldiers let us sing
where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
to the mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
just divine embrace, eternal light
in the mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord
