Dan Rather is reporting some sort of explosion inside 101st Airborne tents ... at least six soldiers injured ... no reports of any killed at this moment ... unknown if attack or accident ... developing ...

[Conservababe]

And what if the soldier has been taken?

[CindyDawg]

He was guarding the gernades. He may very well have been a victim.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Sounds like suspect. Said the guy was guarding certain materials and now the materials are missing. Also a couple of grenades missing...

[Maigrey]

well, a girl can talk as well as a sailor sometimes. The difference is holding our tongue.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Please tell me you reported it to the FBI and the Department of Defense!

[Doe Eyes]

Is it just me, or do Rather/Brokaw/Jennings seem to become almost gleeful at the prospect of reporting a US setback in this mission? I've noticed a disproportionate focus on casualties vs. the mission's progress.

Even Fox News seems to be fixated with reporting this setback. Are they turning Liberal?

[Maigrey]

I hope that, if said is true, that military justice is exacted in a vehement manner.

[twntaipan]

If it was indeed a soldier, wanna bet he was from the Religion of Peace?

[Bruce Kurtz]

From the events that happened to the 101st, I would report that. Don't know to who, but there are probably people here who can tell you who to talk to.

[LdSentinal]

No, but it should be in their archives.

[Windcatcher]

Agreed. The humor is solely directed at the putative demise of those organizations.

[stlnative]

Whoa slow down here... He could have been ambushed they may have killed him or took him as a hostage.

[Endeavor]

shep smith just said some red alert report from the pentagon just came across the wires but he doesn't want to talk about it until he can get hold of Brent Baer. He sounded like it was about some other situation. What the heck is going on?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Taken from the middle of a camp?

[spectr17]

He was guarding ammo and is now missing along with some ammo. Did some grab him or is he in on it?

Say you're the bad guys and can get access but can't get any explosices through the checkpoints. Next option would be to schmooze the guys guarding the good stuff and when your opportunity comes you whack the guard on the head and take what you need.

[Maigrey]

I hope this isn't the case, but right now, either way, it is a mess!

[jwalsh07]

Every tent now has a guard on it and armor is guarding each corner...tents are being checked regularly...earlier sirens alerting the base to ground attack have now signaled the "all clear" and the hunt is on for this missing soldier...

Securing the perimeter should be SOP.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Then, where is he if he was a victim? I think it would be quite obvious if someone was dragging a soldier around a camp, don't you?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

That's a bet I wouldn't take!

[dep]

It was quite virile and nasty post against his fellow sailors

manly? how weird.
