FReepers busted this guy early this AM when this thread started.

He had several interviews today. Someone was fronting him for PR value.

AP is absolutely disgusting. Unbelievable.

However, I dunno if a 'plan' being put in place would've saved them.

I have an idea, how about placing a small GPS transmitter on each of our people.

That would allow us to find them as quickly as possible.

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

Yes we must placate them or else be threatened some more /s... The favorite nation of all liberals (Soviet Union) Even knew how to deal with these scum, target their families and never satisfy their demands, do not stop until all are dead or broken.

If my son were killed in a war he believed in and my idiot brother popped off at the mouth in front of a camera with his opinion before me or my wife had a chance to say anything -I would be enraged.

Unless the family asked the uncle to be spokesman, this man has utterly no class.

[Puppage]

I suppose he has a right to complain

Absolutely. But, should the MSM exploit his complaints?

[Coldwater Creek]

We are a military family! Where do we meet?????

I am so mad at Glenn Beck. On his show this morning he announced that the soldiers had been gutted.

Glenn owes all military and their families an apology.

I am amazed and pleased that Lauer challenged the idiot

[pissant]

Uncle: STFU

[Buckeye McFrog]

I suppose that proves we all have a crazy Uncle someplace in the family tree

[RDTF]

I have mixed emotions about that. I agree it's too much information and horrible for the families - but this is war and we are fighting a brutal enemy with no appreciation for human life. If 'beheading' doesn't prove what non human animals they are then maybe hearing 'gutting' someone will shake a few up. Even if it's a liberal that will continue to grow their anger over this war, everyone still needs to get the sick feeling I just got when I read that to be reminded of what we are dealing with.

[skeeter]

I am so p*ssed right now it ain't healthy. I can only imagine how you must feel.

[LongViewSC]

My uncle gave a great response to the media when he had a camera and a microphone jammed infront of him during a moment of stress. His response was "Get the hell off my property!" it was live news so they couldn't edit it out. Everyone should respond in similar fashion to microphones jammed in their faces. It is obscene for the media to seek out suffering people to broadcast.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Ted Kennedy told him.

[liberty_lvr]

You bet, count me in. I'll even bring the tar, feathers and rope.

Stinking turncoats, every last one of 'em.

[fhlh]

no... shabby behavior on the MSM's part (Today show) for going after a grieving relative just to get the anti-war sound bite...

I really HATE the MSM.

[bigjoesaddle]

I don't believe the PARENTS have a right to comment on the war effort when their son is an OF AGE, VOLUNTEER army soldier, but an UNCLE???

Hey Uncle, sit the f*** down!

[PISANO]

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

A democrat TALKING POINT, and unworthy of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca's ulitimate sacrifice.

I will NEVER understand how a relative can dishonor their loved one's sacrifice by spewing such inane drivel.

And I don't give him a pass because he is grieving!!!

[John Valentine]

The Uncle's "plan" was to shuck out a ransom.

That's not a "plan" at all. That's just a roadmap to more and nastier kidnappings with larger and larger ransoms.

It's illustrative of the left's inability to engege in stage 2 thinking.

[rockabyebaby]

"How can you attack these people!"

Since when is the TRUTH an attack?????

Some people can't handle the TRUTH!
