This is right out of the movie 'Cast Away' with Tom Hanks.

[volchef]

It gets worse....she remarried his best friend. May God help him to deal with such a blow.

[ewing]

His best FRIEND! Man that is rough...

[Blood of Tyrants]

At very least he is owed 12 years back pay, housing and food allowences, and leave.

[ewing]

Sodium pentathol would be okay by me..

[Howlin]

Did you ever find out which Aziz report is correct, that Speicher is dead or alive?

[ewing]

Is Tariq not a Muslim?

[ewing]

I thought Scott might be Saddams hostage 'trump card,' but Aziz (now captured) might have played it first.

[ewing]

Devba says there are hundereds of these wanted Iraqis in Syria being shipped out to Libya and Africa

[babble-on]

weirdly not, he's a Chaldean Christian. Not sure what that is.

[Taxman]

No problem.

FReegards.

I thought this guy was Navy? If he is Navy, he is not a Captain. I thought I read he was a Lieutenant Commander (same as a Major in the Army, Marines, Air Force). A full Commander is the same as a Lieutenant Colonel. A Navy "Captain" is a full Army, Air Force or Marine, "Colonel." Does anyone know if he was Navy? If Air Force, then he could have been a Captain (0-3 rank). A LT Cmdr is an 0-4, a LTC is an 0-5 and a full Colonel is an 0-6.

Assyrian

[Tunehead54]

Heard his wife re-married, thats god awful.

I believe to his best friend. Hope they learned to share in kindergarden! Having him back has to be better than having him dead. ;-)

"(If Love Is Blind, Why Is Lingerie So Popular?)"

Did someone write a song called "What's love got to do with it?"

[ewing]

The Washington Post did find his intiials in Saddams private jail cell, recently so I think that would be a good sign..

[ZULU]

I think we should let the Mafia "borrow" Mr. Aziz for a few days and offer to pay them for any information they can extract.

[Howlin]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Maigret]

Tariq's religion

Gimme a break! This guy's 'religion' is saving his own skin, even if that means sucking up to a tyrant.

[1stFreedom]

Well, if my wife died I'd be more than happy to have her marry my best friend. However, under these circumstances it has to be extremely rough.

Maybe they did nothing wrong, but can he still be best friends? Not unless Scott figured out long ago that she prolly remarried, etc.

Not good at all. Poor guy.
