you know there has not been a lot about this on the news, maybe this will change.

What is bozo doing anyway, date night Friday night, going though the I=Pod on Wednesday nights, or maybe looking to get to that church on a weekends.

ARF

I just hope that he gets back to us in a safe way and soon.

You know what is sickening too is that today in Chicago a group of radical muslims had their first meeting in this country talking about overthrowing this country and making it into a Islamic state.
These are the same ilk who have this soldier.

sickening

“Oh Lord God in heaven, help this soldier and his family. Keep him safe and help him to put his trust in you. Deliver him from his enemies. Even save his captors if You are pleased.”

I have a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. I fear for his life and I fear for the direction this will takes us.

I gut is telling me the Taliban is testing Obama and our soldier’s life is their pawn. It is a lose/lose situation.

This is the Taliban...

[ConorMacNessa]

Prayers going up for this soldier.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Pinkbell]

Oh dear; I don’t see this ending well. Prayers up.

My understanding is the soldier was captured after wandering off base.

[edpc]

That’s what I originally heard, as well. Only he really knows for sure and he’s not saying he went AWOL.

[italianquaker]

This is of no interest to homie the clown in the white house

[halfright]

From what I understand this guy went off base without permission. Not real bright.....

[NoLibZone]

Soros ( DNC Proprietor ) is after Cheney and not Al Q or the Taliban.

Prayers are the best we can do for this fine young man.

[manc]

sadly I believe you are correct.
this is just getting in the way of his national agenda and that is to weaken us, to cripple us financially and change us from a christian country

[glock rocks]

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families—especially families of those fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty.

LOL@ homie the clown.

Stay safe, soldier.

[Kickass Conservative]

If they harm him, take every Taliban in custody, whether in Afghanistan, Gitmo or Iraq and execute them. Televise the Executions for the world to see.

Whatever is done to our guy should be done to all their guys. And I mean everything...

“That’s what I originally heard, as well. Only he really knows for sure and he’s not saying he went AWOL.”

I don’t believe anything “reported” anymore. For all we know TOTUS has ordered this ‘blame-the-soldier’ explanation. Who knows?

[Jet Jaguar]

Prayers up.

Whatever the reason for his capture, I don’t think it ends well for him.

[edpc]

Not under this CiC. We can’t even push prisoners up against a wall. They also have to be Mirandized. Pathetic.
