You would appear to be correct. Likely the individuals were instructed to be "cooperative". Otherwise, at least one of them would have resisted.
Now, we are abandoning the GWOT. Islamic radicals are good and, according to the UN, immune to any criticism. Pelosi is having her sensitivities enhanced in Syria. It's all part of the surrender folks.
Now, we are abandoning the GWOT. ... It's all part of the surrender folks.
That's right. It's important to keep things in perspective. In spite of Pres. Bush's resistance (or the personal opinions of folks like you and me) the western world is now engaged in the process of negotiating their surrender to Islam. It would be rather cruel to expect the simple foot soldiers, still deployed in remote places, to resist the victorious conquerers. In fact it would be an act of sour-grapes bitterness and a defiance and resistance to their own mother land's foreign policy of retreat.
