Web Site: Capture of U.S. GIs on Tape
WWJ ^ | June 4, 2007

Posted on 06/04/2007 7:14:38 AM PDT by Alouette

(CBS/AP) An Islamic militant Web site said Monday it would soon release video clips showing the capture of three American soldiers, who went missing in Iraq in mid-May. The body of one soldier was later found, but the other two remain missing.

The Washington-based SITE Institute said it had obtained the 10 minute, 41 second video that shows the planning stages and kidnapping operation as well as footage from after the attack.

The institute, which monitors militant Web sites, said the video also shows the identification cards of the two of the soldiers. A prominent Islamic Web site said in a banner headline said it would soon show the video, but it was not yet posted.

The three U.S. soldiers were captured west of Baghdad on May 12 in an ambush later claimed by an insurgent umbrella group, the Islamic State of Iraq, that includes al-Qaeda in Iraq.

The body of one of the soldiers was found on May 23 in the Euphrates River and later identified by the U.S. military as Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr., 20, of Torrance, Calif.

The two other soldiers - Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, of Lawrence, Mass., and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, 19, of Walled Lake, Mich. - remain missing.

This is a prepared propaganda operation from beginning to end. I expect it is intended to help the anti-war Dims.

I have always advocated that we need to release the thousands of videos that we have showing our troops capturing the terrorists. The terrorist show one video killing few of our heroes, we show thousands of videos killing and capturing them by the dozens in each video.

I think we need to not bother with the videos and just start mowing them down. With the number of deaths recently, it’s time for the gloves to come off and the world’s opinion of us be d@mned.

Our troops are mowing the terrorists down but the media is not reporting it and we are not releasing the footage of the mowing down, only very, very, very few have been released.

The MSM isn't going to do anything.

They're rooting for the terrorists.

But ONLY if the scumbags are wearing them on THEIR heads. The MSM wouldn't give two "number two's" if our soldiers were forced to wear them.

Whenever the rats get a few of our soldiers, they end up on a video for all to see...How come we don’t get to see dead terrorists floating in the canal now and then?...Give some perspective on the fighting please! It doesn’t offend me in the slightest to see a pile of our dead enemy. What does offend is the way the press slants all in favor of the enemy.

FoxNews is reporting that the Islamic website is saying that all 3 US soldiers were killed.

No confirmation, however.
