Arab TV Shows Tape of Marine Held Hostage

11 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Arab satellite TV network broadcast a videotape Sunday showing a blindfolded man in military uniform it said was a U.S. Marine taken hostage in Iraq (news - web sites).

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military, but the video showed a card identifying the man by a Pakistani name and as an "active duty" Marine.

The Al-Jazeera newtork said the group claimed it infiltrated a U.S. Marine outpost, lured the man outside and abducted him. The station said the group demanded the release of all Iraqis "in occupation jails" or the man would be killed.

The group identified itself as "Islamic Response," the security wing of the "1920 Revolution Brigades" referring to the uprising against the British after World War I.

It is time for some "stray" cruise missles to take down the Al Jazeera satellite dishes. Al Jazeera: the propaganda arm of terrorism in the Middle East. Shut 'em down.

Put the South Korean troops in charge of the prisons. They'll gladly behead 100 for each one that the terrorists do.

After all that we've seen, I can't imagine anyone willingly taken alive by these creatures.

Haji the terrorist favorite news network needs to be watched closely.

Possibly, but not necessarily. I worked with a guy who was of Pakistani origin who emigrated to the US from Guyana and was a SGT in the NYARNG. Plenty of Pakistanis in America.

And put the Turks in charge of street control. And the Japanese in charge of interrogation.

That's the best idea I've heard all day, or week for that matter.


It will never happen, I'm afraid.

We would be branded just as barbaric, as they are.
That wouldn't bother me abit ,though. Who cares what others think.
It would be used against Bush, by you know who.

Bush has his other war right here at home. Believe it or not, they are just as dangerous as the Islamic Terrorists.

If, Kerry wins the election, the war in Iraq will be over.

"If, Kerry wins the election, the war in Iraq will be over."

Yes, the war in Iraq will be over. Unfortunately, it will be continued on American soil. Can we afford Kerry as President. I don't think so.

kill them, in a manner which defiles them and dooms them to the mohammedian hell.

shoot them with frozen pork bullets, then send them through a meat grinder with cuts of pork and fatback, then feed the results to hungry pigs.

film it all. release the tapes worldwide.

time for the gloves to come off.

they want a religious war, I say let's give them a religious war.
