Being reported on CNN - 6 POWs - found alive. No more information.
You are saying, I guess, that there are no democrats at all in America who are happy that American POW's are found and rescued.

Franks: Six Missing U.S. Troops Found
By RON KAMPEAS

WASHINGTON (AP) - Coalition forces have found six U.S. troops previously classified as missing, Gen. Tommy Franks, the war's overall commander said Sunday. The six appear to be healthy.
Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the six were among five listed as missing or seven listed as POWs.
``They appear to be healthy,'' Franks told ABC News.
Pentagon officials have committed to tracking down 12 soldiers still missing or captured since the spectacular rescue of Pfc. Jessica Lynch on April 1, but until Franks' revelation, there appeared to be no leads.
Franks said he was reluctant to discuss the matter further until he had better information - but he made sure to underscore once again his commitment to rescuing coalition captives.
``For sure we're going to take care of our own,'' he told CNN. ``This is very good news.''
Officials had been sounding an upbeat note in recent days, saying more people were willing to talk and share secrets about potential POW sightings now that Saddam Hussein's henchmen are gone.
``What we're finding now is that the regime has been moved away, people will speak about what it is they know,'' U.S. Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks at U.S. Central Command in Doha, Qatar said Saturday during a briefing. ``And so, we suspect that much of the information that will assist us either in finding prisoners of war from this conflict or previous conflicts ... will come by way of the elimination of the regime.''
Lynch, who was rescued April 1 from a hospital in the southern city of Nasiriyah after an Iraqi civilian tipped soldiers off, became the first POW to return home Saturday.
The United States lists five other soldiers as missing and seven as prisoners of war.

Your (attempt at humor) is lost on this thread.
There is nothing funy about this story to those who have loved ones in theater.
Humor is God's gift. You rejoice in the rescue of the POWs your way and others will rejoice in their way.
It is good news. In that case, we have to blame it on the Democrats.
