Missing does NOT equate captured.
Lets wait. Since if they got them they whould be more than anxious to show them off.

So there's a plane missing but all the pilots are accounted for?

FNC reported that Rumsfeld has said something about "soldiers missing", but it was an incomplete report. Gen. Meyers said all pilots accounted for, but there may be "up to 10 missing soldiers".
To: All
Just reported on Fox. All aircrafts are accounted for. However there are 10 missing soldiers.
To: All
Southern Iraq would be different than the one they have been showing - "staged" near Baghdad.... bringing all reporters to edge of river, etc.
Fox says "all aircraft accounted for " There are missing soldiers - but not in river near Baghdad.....

I thought the same thing. Missing could mean AWOL, or any number of things.

I agree with you that 'missing US soldiers'...exactly, not 'pilots'. However he also said there were reports of missing aircraft. I was only stating what was on the report.
I didnt make anything up.

Thanks for the corrected title.
FR should not fall for Iraqi propaganda.
To: areafiftyone
What the heck is going on? Why are there conflicting reports?It's called "the fog of war". Give them a chance to sort things out for cripes sake!
To: AntiGuv
General Myers just told Tony Snow that everyone is account for.
To: areafiftyone
First we are missing planes, but no pilots.. Now soldiers.. Rummy is saying one thing, Fox says officials are saying another.
If I ever hear the term "Military Intelligence" again I think I am going to scream.

06:14 PST (AP) -- Rumsfeld said he could not provide any information about a missing aircraft. In Baghdad, security officers searched the banks of the Tigris River, apparently looking for one of more pilots who may have bailed out of a downed plane.
Asked what he could say about missing pilots, Rumsfeld replied, "Nothing." He suggested that the search in Baghdad was staged.
"There has been a report of an aircraft missing," the secretary acknowledged on NBC's "Meet the Press. "I don't want to speculate because I simply don't know."

How hard can it be: "Bob, are you missing any planes or pilots?"
Bob: "No"

Allied could be American or British Hints it may be British

>>However there are 10 missing soldiers.
That's 2-3 Humvees that got separated from their unit and lost in the desert. Let's hope that's what happened, and they show up soon.
Don't think this has anything to do with the staged circus in downtown Baghdad
To: Kimlee
maybe Rummy and Myers got their info from debka.
