If we have credible evidence that he has been held prisoner, or any evidence of an Oklahoma City Bombing-Iraq connection, the time to make it public is right before the bombs start to fall.

The ones I really feel for (other than our pilot, of course) is his poor family.
Imagine what is going through their minds as they see our troops, planes, and ships deploying.
God save this airman - Amen!

There is a sign on the St. Johns River in near Jackonville, Florida that says "Free Scott Speicher." I pray this will one day come true.
To: kattracks
The defector is one of at least three Iraqis who reported that Baghdad is holding an American pilot from the 1991 Persian Gulf war. They've held him for over 11 years?
To: kattracks
Iraq might reveal that it has the pilot and then threaten to execute him if U.S. forces invade. That would buy Saddam about zero seconds of extra time. Such a tactic would probably encourage us to make a much more devastating first srike to cover a rescue mission.
And any Iraqi officer associated in even the remotest way with the mistreatment or murder of Capt. Speicher would be facing a very untimely and unpleasant demise. I know I wouldn't want to be targeted by SOCOM for special attention!
If Capt. Speicher is indeed still alive and being held by Iraq, they are making a huge and deadly mistake.
Bill Clinton is no longer president.

You can't alter military and national defense policy decisions because of such circumstances. War is war. Soldiers will get killed and will be taken prisoner. Leaders who don't understand war shouldn't get involved in it.
To: kattracks
There also are concerns among some Pentagon officials that Saddam Hussein might try to exploit the issue of the missing pilot in a standoff with the United States. Iraq might reveal that it has the pilot and then threaten to execute him if U.S. forces invade.Well alrighty then.... how about this: hand over the pilot now or WE'LL INVADE!!!!
