“On July 2, two U.S. officials told the AP the soldier had “just walked off” his base with three Afghans after his shift. He had no body armor or weapon and they said they had no explanation for why he left. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
On July 6, the Taliban claimed on their Web site that five days earlier “a drunken American soldier had come out of his garrison” and was captured by mujahadeen.”
I notice no pictures of Obama, just Bush and Cheney. Plus the pictures of prisoner mistreatment at Abu Gharib. This tape just reinforces the crap put out by the WH about the US. I wonder how old it is.
Ahhh...good post. May be a guy who simply walked across, and then they decided he wasn’t worth it.
barry heartily approves
I’m shocked that the Taliban would violate the Geneva Convention this way. Obama must be heartbroken.
