Long missing Gulf War pilot Scott Speicher gone - but not forgotten
The Washington Times ^ | 3/11/09 | Jennifer Harper

He disappeared 18 years ago on the first night of the Gulf War. The Navy has changed his status from KIA to MIA four times. Family - and Navy stalwarts - haven't forgotten him or let up on their efforts to find out what happened to the fighter pilot, and father of two.

IIRC, just about the first words American troops said to Saddam Hussein were “Where’s Speicher?”

God bless you for posting this, lakeprincess. We must never forget Scott Speicher.

The news here is sad, that SECNAV Winter has changed Speicher’s status.

In fact, the one top aide to Saddam who would know — al-Douri — has not yet been captured and questioned.

Iranians held Iraqi polits for 18 years.

It’s not impossible that he’s being stashed somewhere.

I think that red-haired iraqi bastard is holding him and would trade him as collateral if need.

Pray for MSS!
