Tape Shows Marine Hostage in Iraq(God help him)
FOX NEWS ^ | Sunday, June 27, 2004 | staff

BAGHDAD, Iraq — An Arab satellite TV network broadcast a videotape Sunday showing a blindfolded man in military fatigues and said he was a U.S. Marine taken hostage in Iraq.

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 man had a trimmed moustache and his eyes were covered with a white blindfold.

The Al-Jazeera network said the group claimed it infiltrated a 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.

Just read it here.

I see nothing about implanted chips but have heard some people who believe this chapter to refer to this sort of technology. I have a hard time buying this. So if the chip is implanted somewhere other than the forehead or right hand then it's ok? Makes no sense to me. But granted, I'm no biblical scholar or anything close to it.

Fox just said our military has said there is a Marine missing.

I hate to say this, but if this is the Marine in question, I think they'll do more than behead him. He might be in for some rough treatment beforehand. On the other hand, his being a Muslim might have a different outcome. He might get released, or else get treated 10 times as bad as a non-Muslim civilian. Who knows? I'd just as soon predict what a rabid dog would do than navigate the mind of these bloody savages.

What are those black diamond things on his sleeves? I've never seen that before.

Another thing: all the photos I have and see from over in Iraq, our soldiers wear olive green T shirts or brown T shirts. This fellow has on a black T shirt??

I hate to say this, but I feel you are being optimistic.

Those bastards are rabid and there's only one way to treat rabies. They're miserable and they want to die. Give them whatever terrorist virgins are left.

If all anti-Americans would just shut up and leave us alone we could clean out that rat's nest a whole lot safer than we can now.

Well, it's odd. Our military over there wear OD colored T Shirts. I don't know why this fellow has on a black one.

And is he wearing one of the new fatigue uniforms?

What degree of narrowing down would you get if you could tell it was the new fatigues?

The mark is symbolic, understanding the Old Testament (Ezekiel 9:4-6) helps in understanding Revelation. There may be reasons the chip wouldn't work or could be feared but it isn't unscriptural to have one. Now back to the problem at hand.

I just want to see the Marines chop off the heads of 50 terror scum in their custody if they touch this man.

After which, they wrap the remains in pig entrails and bury it in their "holy" site.

Military.com. It's free, but you have to register.

I'm not sure it's foolproof. I tried to look up some people I know who've been in the military more than 10 years, and they didn't show up in my search. For what it's worth.

I have no intention to argue the point because this is not the place, but not all Christians agree with your interpretation of the Book of Revelation.

As a Christian minister I see absolutely no connection between these chips and the Bible.

I simply want to be on record that yours is not the only understanding of the book. Doesn't make either one of us less a Christian. It just means we do not agree on this point.

OK, you false-God following, camel-mounting, mass-murdering, goat-raping bastards:

YOU'VE CROSSED AN F'NG LINE.

Screw with the United States Marine Corps and you've messed with the wrong gang.

It's time to drop a daisy cutter on your ignorant little turban-wearing heads.

You want a piece of something?

Huh?

You want some of this?

Come to San Antonio you little punks!

I've got a size 11 boot to shove up your terrorist tail and a 12-gauge to shove down your throat.

Come and get it, punks!

Think it would have to be voluntary; but a reasonable idea.

I don't understand why these areas are not under 24/7 'sattelite monitoring'. Seems they could pick up and follow the soldier to his destination. . .and 'pick off' those who pass as humans. . .

Thank you for clarifying.. Another FReeper looked up someone who had been in the military many many years, and they didn't show up. It's very odd because I looked up a few hundred last year (related to casualties) and they all showed up, current and registered to the correct branch of service.

I did just read on the FNC ticker that this missing Marine may have deserted his unit last month, if it was the same person.

Thank you, also. I just replied to wimpycat in this same thread.. they also noticed it wasn't up to date. I was basing my observations on looking up several hundred names last year during the first couple months of the war. This is all very odd.

Great post! Thanks for all the picts; surely confirms what many would dismiss with a 'pullleeze'. . .

I wish O'Reilly; Hannity, Rush et al; would give America an even bigger history lesson. . .

. . .and give the Liberals the truth where it hurts.
