CNN REPORTING 7 POWS FOUND ALIVE!! CENTCOM CONFIRMS

cnn | me

[looney tune]

Being reported on CNN - 6 POWs - found alive. No more information.

[estrogen]

Now Fox is saying "unofficially" that there are 7 and probably pows;

[Vol2727]

If these six Americans rescued are the listed POWs, I wonder if the body the 101st with Geraldo found yesterday is the seventh one. They were in North Baghdad weren't they? Would make sense being they found the other six near Tikrit.

"Joan of Arc" is dead

So is Molly Pitcher, Mad Ann Bailey, and Deborah Sampson.

Your exclusion of women from fighting is a form of political correctness. You've set a standard, and you don't want anyone to deviate from it. Well Americans don't fit "standards." My 79 year-old mother said to me the other day that she wanted a rifle, she was so angry at the Baathist tactic of sending women and children in front of suicide bombers.

Joan of Arc may be dead, but not before she destroyed thousands of enemy troops. She once said that her banner was more important than her sword, and when she held it up, her troops were fearless.

I don't like the idea of women being killed in battle, and I'd rather they not fight myself. But when they insist, and when they meet standards, and when their units accept them, I think we should count ourselves lucky that fight they will.

NBC news is reporting it is the group that was captured near Jessica Lynch, including Shoshana, and they are in good condition.
Thank God.

Fox: Reporting 7

[Bad~Rodeo]

FOX and MSNBC are reporting that they were rescued,
CNN is reporting that Iraqi Soldiers SHOWED the Marines where the Americans were being held....Now being reported that 5 of the Soldiers were from Jessica Lynch's group and 2 are from the Apachie Helicopter.....note...another report is that they were walking along Hwy 1

[Right_in_Virginia]

Fox just confirmed seven were found. What a beautiful way to start a Sunday morning!

[djf]

Fine. If you want to live in a world where women are on top of men, so be it.

Fox News:

Centcom just announced seven Americans found alive.

Hallelujah!

Now Fox is saying "unofficially" that there are 7 and probably pows;

I believe them, it follows with what is being reported. MIA's, well they were not in the 5 & 2 numbers, most likely do not need to be rescued as opposed to POW's would most likely all be held in the same place. Just my opinion.We had an incident were two MIA's turned up after 5 days after being lost in the desert. Then there is Scott who has yet to be found ;(

[JustPiper]

Wouldn't a body that he found then be changed to KIA?

[alisasny]

Last Sunday morning we awoke to the sad passing of David Bloom and today, Palm Sunday no less, we awake to this wonderful story.

I am so happy right now. I really did not have much hope and I am so GLAD I was wrong.

[Trust but Verify]

I hope the citizen who told us where our POW's were will be richly rewarded. And that it be WELL PUBLICIZED. If these people are looting buildings for flower arrangements, think of what they'll divulge for cold, hard cash!

The best explanation and heart of opinion yet!!! Bump!

Jumping up and down, Hercules! Hercules ;)

[usmcobra]

Real Men know that.....

ALL THEIR NADS ARE BELONG TO WOMEN.

[wita]

Awesome news if true. Some Iraqi soldiers, and maybe even an interogator or two just got seven bargaining chips, or seven of the worst jurors you could ever hope to assemble.

[djf]

Definately the secret. All they need do is show us the laundrey, and we'll pick up a gun.

bbc report

US rescues soldiers held by Iraq

US forces have rescued six US soldiers who were being held by Iraqis, US commander General Tommy Franks says. General Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether they were among those listed as missing or as POWs.

At the same time, a US military official at a trauma treatment unit in Baghdad, Lieutenant Colonel Ken Kelly, told the French news agency AFP that six men would be arriving there shortly.

"Apparently, they are in such a condition that they are being brought to a forward critical care unit for evaluation," he said.
