DETROIT — The bodies of two U.S. soldiers missing in Iraq for more than a year have been found, their families said Thursday night. The military would not immediately confirm the report.

The father of Army Sgt. Alex Jimenez, of Lawrence, Mass., said the remains of his son and another soldier, Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, of Waterford, Mich., had been identified in Iraq.

No explanation as to how they died. Take an educated guess.

You're probably right.

RIP, warriors.

No explanation as to how they died. Take an educated guess.

I doubt it was pleasant. At least the families will have their loved ones home instead of not knowing.

[Fundamentally Fair]

Now comes the outrage over how our soldiers are treated when they are capture.

*crickets*

The most that we’ll hear is how if the US hadn’t been occupying Iraq, those “poor boys” wouldn’t be dead. And that if there is any mention of how they died (and we know it was brutal), it will have been in retaliation for Abu Ghrab.

Do you recall last year when they were missing that the US wanted to deport the wife? I think in the end, she was allowed to stay.
He died for our country. God Bless both of these families.

"WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence officials got mired for nearly 10 hours
seeking approval to use wiretaps against al Qaeda terrorists suspected
of kidnapping Queens soldier Alex Jimenez in Iraq earlier this year..
A search to rescue the men was quickly launched. But it soon ground
to a halt as lawyers - obeying strict U.S. laws about surveillance -
cobbled together the legal grounds for wiretapping the suspected kidnappers.
For an excruciating nine hours and 38 minutes, searchers in Iraq waited as
U.S. lawyers discussed legal issues and hammered out the "probable cause"
necessary for the attorney general to grant such "emergency" permission.
Finally, approval was granted and, at 7:38 that night, surveillance began.
"The intelligence community was forced to abandon our soldiers because of the law,"
a senior congressional staffer with access to the classified case told The Post."

May God comfort and console the families of these true heroes, and may they be received into his Kingdom with open arms and much fanfare!

I am humbled by the sacrifice of these soldiers and their loved ones.

I mourn your lose.

It is with a heavy heart that I thank you!

Democrats, bureaucrats, and the ACLU contributed to the death of this soldier.
