These brave men and women have paid the price for defending their country and aswering the call....

Each freeper should set aside some time today to pray for the living and the dead....

Stating the obvious, this is war and we should expect to take casualties....

The difference between the Iraqi Thugs and us is our humanity and respect for life...This will persevere regardless of the atrocities they commit.

We will however prevail, and when we do, these "thugs" and "butchers" will be hunted down, tried for their crimes and those who are guilty, executed.

God Bless America!

I've seen the film of captured US POW's on Al-Jazeera. They have it on what is seemingly a constant loop- which itself is a little disturbing.
Iraqi tv is using this for propaganda purposes- why the hell we haven't taken out their TV studio's is beyond me. Perhaps we could drop a bomb through Al-Jazeera studio's too.

As for the film itself it was very, very disturbing. One, a woman, was absolutely petrified. Her eyes were darting all about the place. They were asking her (them) about why they were killing Iraqi people and so on. One POW was seriously injured- an Iraqi shoved a microphone in his face asked him a question and then forcably rasied the POW's head to answer the question- forgetting the fact the POW was in huge pain.............we should pray for all of them.

Perhaps I'm getting a little too emotional about all of this- but we seem to be adopting a military policy of trying to minimise Iraqi troop/civilian deaths at the cost of putting our own troops at extra risk.

God bless the coalition troops.
