Praying for the repose of the souls of these two young men and also the soul of the young soldier that was killed during the kidnapping.

Hi there. Yes, I saw the thread you linked. I just put up the "official" news version for recording purposes.

Both of them are heroes. May God comfort their families.

Ahmed Khalaf Falah, a farmer, has told The Associated Press that he witnessed seven masked gunmen seize the soldiers near Youssifiyah, about 12 miles south of Baghdad.

Want to bet Ahmed is toast? Nice of the media to publish his name--as if the enemy does not read the f'n paper.

Prayers up for the soldiers and their families.

The MURTHA PLAN is now in effect.

Throughout Iraq, our troops will be taking far too much time, trying to decide whether to defend themselves.

The insurgents must love this.

Could this be misinformation? I'd think that at least some of the gunmen dressed so as to look like as ordinary civilians.

I believe I searched prior to posting and didn't see the exact account posted.

Our guys were ambushed when they went out to investigate another incident. I believe I read about the masks earlier.

Elsewhere, a suicide bomber wearing an explosives belt blew himself up in a home for the elderly in the southern city of Basra, killing two people and wounding three.

A home for the elderly??? What is up with these maniacs? Are they totally insane? What on earth is blowing up a home for the elderly supposed to accomplish?

The two soldiers were missing after an attack on their traffic checkpoint that left one of their comrades dead.

This was the incident I had heard about, which is why I wondered if our men hesitated to defend themselves.

War criminals yes, but insane no...They know the media and the left will blame Bush and further undermine the war.

I suppose it's meant to inflame hostilies within the Iraqi populace.

Blowing up old people. My, what brave, brave men...pfft!

yes, it was that after that attack, our guys went out looking for the perps and were ambushed.

I'm a little surprised we haven't seen this tactic before now. I'm sure our forces will adjust their protocols of searching in order to guard against this happening again.
