With the impressive Victory looming in Iraq, I am wondering what happened to the following:
AMERICAN POWs ... there are still those missing the field and we mustn't miss them.
APACHE LONGBOW ... what happened to that Apache Longbow that was "shot down" and paraded in the streets of Baghdad and why the hell didn't we destroy it?
Finally, that pesky smoking gun ... I know we'll find it, but it's teasing us.
Any other questions still outstanding? Post them here.

Fox News reported that the military has word of underground prisons and they are searching underground for those different prisons. They have not forgotten our POWs as this has become a priority for our military.

Since I saw it (the helicopter) on TV I've been wondering why the pilots who were flying it didn't destroy it. At one time it would have been safe to assume that they couldn't for some reason. But today in the feminazi military where you get a medal for turning over a Top Secret intelligence gathering aircraft to the ChiComs well, mabe they were really really scared or something.

Early on, the Marines found several installations that were bulldozed shut for later inspection - believed WMD storage. As other places have been sunjected to two and three analysis, what happened to or what was in those sites?

Three mystery ships are tracked over suspected 'weapons' cargo 02/18/2003 at 9:10:59 PM
By: Michael Harrison 19 February 2003
Three giant cargo ships are being tracked by US and British intelligence on suspicion that they might be carrying Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
Each with a deadweight of 35,000 to 40,000 tonnes, the ships have been sailing around the world's oceans for the past three months while maintaining radio silence in clear violation of international maritime law, say authoritative shipping industry sources.
The vessels left port in late November, just a few days after UN weapons inspectors led by Hans Blix began their search for the alleged Iraqi arsenal on their return to the country.
Uncovering such a deadly cargo on board would give George Bush and Tony Blair the much sought-after "smoking gun" needed to justify an attack on Saddam Hussein's regime, in the face of massive public opposition to war.
The ships were chartered by a shipping agent based in Egypt and are flying under the flags of three different countries. The continued radio silence since they left port, in addition to the captains' failure to provide information on their cargoes or their destinations, is a clear breach of international maritime laws.
The vessels are thought to have spent much of their time in the deep waters of the Indian Ocean, berthing at sea when they need to collect supplies of fuel and food. They have berthed in a handful of Arab countries, including Yemen.
American and British military forces are believed to be reluctant to stop and search the vessels for fear that any intervention might result in them being scuttled. If they were carrying chemical and biological weapons, or fissile nuclear material, and they were to be sunk at sea, the environmental damage could be catastrophic.

Is the Apache the one that Iraqis were dancing around in the field? The two pilots taken captive and shown on TV? Later they showed different views of it and claimed it was a second one downed?
If it is, I remember reports later in the day that claimed the US had destroyed it to keep Iraqis from using its arms or technology. Unfortunately they did not destroy it while all those idiots were gathered around it.

As an American, I'm hoping the Iraqi people might help us in recovering our POW's. Indeed, I'm begging them. "Mohammed" helped in rescuing Pfc. Jessica Lynch. Please do the same.

When I heard the report (can't remember which channel I have been switching so much), they said that the Iraqi's were telling them about the different prisons because they had family that had been imprisoned in them.

What happened to the two Iraqi guys who were apprehended crossing the Mexican border into the US with a couple hundred million dollars?

After the reports that it had been destroyed, pictures were shown on this site of an apache in downtown Baghdad on the back of a truck. I believe that is the apache the previous poster was wondering about.

Did the facts ever come out about the friendly fire incident involving the Kurds and special forces? How many dead and injured and were any of them American?
