U.S. SOLDIER MISSING IN BAGHDAD - U.S. MILITARY

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

The guy at the TV station told them where he went,,
(AP-Yahoo News) The "Others" didn't mention that...

[La Enchiladita]

Maybe, though, he didn't make it home... something happened on the way. That's the way it reads right now.

[Uncle Billy]

if he turns up tortued and beheaded, then they should raze the entire neighborhood of whatever tribe turns out to be responsible. burn it to the ground.

ask yourself, what would sherman do?

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Anything is possible at this point,,Too many things don't add up...Allegra may know something...

[La Enchiladita]

Can't help thinking about the Marine Hassoun ... he was a translator too.

But that was before the transfer of power, I believe.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

That is true,,,,I keep leaning toward AWOL....
He and his wife are Iraqi-American...

[La Enchiladita]

Mmmm...hmmmmm...

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

I just hope he didn't walk down the street in uniform
by himself,,,

[La Enchiladita]

Nah. It's morning in Baghdad now; maybe Allegra learned something over coffee this a.m.

But I do think it is entirely fair to say that our Muslim enemy has ~less~ honor and ~less~ humanity than even the Nazis did. The Nazis were twisted and evil, but they were still twisted and evil ~human beings~.

At least Joseph Goebbels admitted that he had an agenda and a bias, unlike his present-day counterparts in the pro-fascist media.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

I hope so,,,Can't remember if it's 8 or 9hr. ahead...

[Ramius]

Goebbels was at the very least an evil ~man~. Perhaps at the end, even he knew that.

Perhaps is too generous to call these muslims evil. For them to be evil would require some knowledge of the difference. It requires some level of humanity in order to earn the badge of "evil".

A mere vermin, a rat, or a worm that eats of the flesh of the living, may not even know that it is unworthy of the flesh that it eats. Maybe that's the position we're in.

But it doesn't mean that pesticides are not in order.

[La Enchiladita]

For me, it's 11 hours; so, for you, 9 hours. I am living for Sunday, when we go back on standard time.

Which reminds me ... gotta hit the hay.

'Nite, Count.

Keep me in the loop?

[SoldierDad]

Prayers up for this soldier. May God protect him and allow him to be found safe and alive.

[SoldierDad]

I have to agree with armymarinemom. When you have a child over there and you don't know where they are and have had no contact with them, these comments can be extremely brutal to us.

[SoldierDad]

Fox just reported that they are going door to door looking for this missing soldier. He's apparently a translator, but they did not mention from what unit. Prayers ongoing for this brave soldier.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

I forgot,,,Niters,,Sleep Well...
You Bet...

[SoldierDad]

Prayers are up for this soldier.

[batter]

The Soldier will be in my prayers. I wish there was more I could do.

[SoldierDad]

Whenever two or more people come together in prayer for a common purpose, God will listen to those prayers and answer. Find others whom you can get together with and pray for this soldier, those looking for him, and the soldier's family. That may seem like little, but the power of prayer can move mountains. God Bless and keep our troops before God in prayer.
