So..it seems the reason for "going in" was to rescue, not to find American soldiers...purely to help.

Take that Rosie...and those like her!

I get so tired -— and infuriated -— at listening to radio news and they tell us nothing but how many soldiers were killed today.

And things like “the highest number killed in a month for the past year” or some such figure.

And tell us nothing about how many terrorists were offed, or anyother successes.

Fox radio news is as bad as the rest.

It makes it sound like American soldiers are just standing around waiting for terrorists to shoot them.

There is a huge amount of evidence that the surge is working. Meanwhile, Fox News is reporting that among the 41 rescued is a 14-year-old boy who was blind-folded, bound and suspended from the ceiling.

Anyone who has seen the drawings from the torture handbook must understand that what we are fighting is pure evil.

We’ve got al Qaeda on the run in Iraq and we’re winning over the sheiks.

MSNBC posted the AP story about an hour ago, also as Breaking News.

It is said that the best humor is close to the truth. Thanks for posting the proof of that statement and for giving me a much needed break from the misery on all the Sunday morning shows. LOL!

Exactly. That is 90% of the reporting on the war. It is obvious whose side the media is on.

Hey, Nordie. There is another story that forces rescued nine hostages near Baqubah. Apparently our forces didn’t get the Rosie memo about U.S. terrorism. She will be so disappointed.

Well, at least the hostages weren't offered ham sandwiches or made to put panties on their head - that would've been unforgivable. /unbelievable ignorance.
