I was somewhat disgusted by some of the comments in the other thread about the video. If someone suggested that my brother (a Marine) was a collaborator after having been captured I would probably punch them right in the face. But I digress.

[nmh]

Which thread is this?

Who ever made nasty comments needs some severe corporal punishment. That man is going through hell.

[piytar]

The mods should zot the lot of them. Freaking losers, no better than the donks in Congress or zero himself...

[real_patriotic_american]

We Americans are praying for his safe return!

[Chode]

now i just heard on the radio as in RIGHT NOW that he went missing after he "Walked off the base."

[mrsixpack36]

What a nightmare. I hope he gets lucky and manages to get freed somehow. Why in the world would a U.S. solider wander off by himself in these parts of the world????

[paul51]

Sadly, I don’t think this is going to end well

[proudofthesouth]

Dear Lord I pray that he isn’t harmed and for his safe and quick return. Give him strength and courage to endure this situation. Please instill compassion and kindness into his captors. Please be with his family during this time. In Jesus name, Amen.

[nmh]

Why don’t the mods do this?

Which thread is it?

I’m give the a piece of my mind and they SHOULD take it PERSONALLY.

BTW, where is ZERO on this?

He’s a SOB! His wanna be friends spt in his face and he pisses off our allies. May he rot in hell when his times comes. Obama is pure EVIL.

[thecodont]

What if the people who took him hostage start raising questions about BO’s eligibility to be President?

[444Flyer]

I agree with you in that prayer Proudofthesouth. AMEN!

[Jo Nuvark]

(Quix, ST... send out the call to prayer!)

Jesus... Jesus... Jesus... Your lamb has been picked
off by the wolves. Please God, P L E A S E send the
hounds of heaven after his enemies. Make him invisible
to his captors. Cause confusion and chaos. Allow the
path to be clear for those who search for him. Let not
a hair fall from their heads this day.

IN JESUS MIGHT NAME!

[PAR35]

That appears to be the current story, but it certainly wasn’t the original one, which was consistent with his current claims that he was left behind on a patrol.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

"BTW, where is ZERO on this?"

Cheering from the sidelines I think.

[nmh]

Very nice graphic.

Obama IDENTIFES with terrorist.

He looks UP to terrorists.

He was raised in Indonesia so he is comfortable with Islam and all he EVIL they stand for.

[mrsixpack36]

Hopefully the silence from B.O. is just strategy like it was when they freed the sailors from the pirates. I would withhold judgment for a while, but we need to see some action here.

[Red_Devil 232]

I am so glad you can recognize stratagy. I now know who to avoid!

[keat]

"BTW, where is ZERO on this?"

Last I heard, Obama said he didn't want to "fall into the old pattern" of speaking out for the release of captured soldiers. He felt that would just reinforce the captor's stereotypes about meddling Americans. He did comment positively on the "robust" dialog that appeared on the tape though.

[thecodont]

He felt that would just reinforce the captor's stereotypes about meddling Americans.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. How is wanting to rescue an American soldier "meddling"?
