Well then what in the hell are the jihadists showing on TV. You guys need to get your sh!t together!
That doesn't mean he was taken "hostage"...
wierd
It means they've known for a week he was MIA, what have they been doing about it? Why do we need to find out our men are taken hostage from AlJihadist TV?
He may have willingly trusted them, and gotten betrayed. I don't put anything past the moo slimes.
Technically, if he is captured and then immediately executed, he is never taken hostage.
Right, so why is Naval Intelligence saying they cannot confirm any of this? It seems weird that this story is released several hours after the original story broke. And why did DoD sit on this for a week?
This is sickening.
Could he be another AQ sympathyzer, like Berg and Johnsosn, that is being taken for a propaganda ride to his death? From what I understand he left his unit to meet with someone and got abducted. Something doesn't semm right here, no offense to the US Marines either.
Not necessarily a hostage. This whole thing smells funny.
He sounds like a muslim. Obviously killing muslims is not a problem for these murderers, but I don't think killing a muslim hostage is what they want.
June 21 is when the 4-man Marine sniper team on a Ramadi rooftop were discovered and seemingly executed. The one's whose pictures were shown by Reuters.
Are you saying Berg and Johnson sympathized with al Qaida and were then killed?
Their widows and other patriots might disagree.
You expect the military to issue a press release every time someone goes AWOL and/or MIA?
Defector?
What are the black diamonds on his sleeves about?
does anyone have a link to the pictures?
not Johnson, no way, I saw no credible evidence of that. Regarding Berg, I agree that there are some aspects of that story that are still weird, but that does not explain away what the terrorists did to him.
