Missing Soldier's Uncle Criticizes US

[Cinnamon]

I heard of this.. the unlce was against him going to the war before that.. and wadda you know... MSM has him front and center!

[skeeter]

MF'n media.

Military families ought to lead the rest of us down to AP, NYT, etc. to deal out a little frontier justice. I'm in the mood.

[keithtoo]

His uncle huh? What does his great-aunt on his mother's side think?

How about his second grade PE teacher?

[Black Guy who is a Republican]

I suppose he has a right to complain. The grief may be too overwhelming...in a situation like that, I too would be mad.

However, I dunno if a 'plan' being put in place would've saved them. Anyone who gets captured by these thugs will either be let go or killed, depending on the captor's whims.

[Kenny Bunkport]

``Because the U.S. government did not have a plan in place, my nephew has paid for it with his life,''

Straight from the DNC talking points.

[Personal Responsibility]

This is the exact point Ann Coulter was making about the "unassailable" nature of the Jersey Girls. The Left's new tactic is to take someone whose got the moral high ground but is against the war, post them up as the spokesperson and defelect any criticism with "How can you attack these people!"

(Of course there are rules. These rules mst be followed)

[Patrick1]

Nothing yet from the soldier's third cousin once removed?

[Rockiette]

Very sad to lose those two young soldiers, I pray for their families. Rather strange that the Today Show was so quick to present an aggrieved relative, shabby behavior on the "uncles" part, where are the parents on this issue? In any event, a terrible loss of our brave troops.

[Mike Bates]

MacKenzie said the government should have offered a $100 million reward and offered to exchange mujahideen detainees for the soldiers' lives.

A really smart idea. If your intent is to replicate the event with other soldiers.

[Personal Responsibility]

If that cousin is an anti-war lib, you will here from him / her soon. Rest assured.

[BlueAngel]

A freeper on another thread said that the family has come out and said that he does not speak for the family, that Kristian was proud of his service.

The MSM is evil.

[oyez]

"How can you attack these people!"

Its really easy if you gumption.

[Personal Responsibility]

MacKenzie said the government should have offered a $100 million reward and offered to exchange mujahideen detainees for the soldiers' lives.

Yes, this has worked *SO* well in the past we should definitely do that. /sarc

[RDTF]

next up the Mackenzie and Sheehan show

[ozzymandus]

Well that's just great. The RAT media had to go to an Uncle to find a US-basher, but they found him, and by god(less), they're gonna use him!

[RDTF]

and - how the he11 does he know if there was a plan in place or not?

[MeanWestTexan]

Yep, statistically, everybody has a crazy uncle or other kin.

They ignore the 90 supportive family members and ask the 1 idiot.

[digger48]

It's a good thing he was able to scratch and dig to find a reporter who would listen to HIS side of the story for a change. (/sarcasm)

Friggin media knocking on these peoples doors within hours of getting the worst news in their lives??? They scream about 2500 soldiers dead, then why aren't there thousands of family members out there saying these things. Instead, the've dug up about 2-3 dozen , at the most, who are willing to nationalize their grief the way the media expects.

Makes me wanna puke!

[AmericaUnited]

said they had been told that DNA testing was under way.

The bodies must have been horribly mutilated to have to do the id via DNA. Maybe burned beyond recognition?
