This is good for two reasons:

1)&nbsp; The soldiers are safe and 'in good health'.&nbsp; (pretty obvious why this is good)

2)&nbsp; Iraqi Soldiers obviously are not executing all POWs.&nbsp; (so maybe some of the demonization of the enemy can be put to rest)

I wouldn't put to rest any of the demonization of the enemy or give them any praise. But I would rather Praise and Glorify God for this obvious answer to many many prayers.

 

[gwyyn]

this is such wonderful news, and I hope we can find out the fate of the others that are missing!

In other words, don't use the evidence to give credit where credit is due, instead, continue to support and spread propoganda about "the enemy" to further your own agenda.

his is good for two reasons

Except that preliminary reports are that they were on the way to Tikrit to be used as human shields. A smart enemy doesn't execute POWs until their usefulness is exhausted. M

 

[Memory's Flame]

First Thank God they are alive!

But... they are still proof of War Crimes on Saddam's side... I mean they are saying they were going to be Human Shields... and we know they have not been "kind" to the POW's... Just a thought.

This is far from over...

In other words? Are my words unclear? Let me restate. Give the Praise and Glory to God! If you do not agree that is your choice, but state your own words. Don't change mine.

You must be blind.&nbsp; Did you read my post?&nbsp; Is your only course of action to twist my words to meet your foolish generaliztion?

but well what can you eXcept from Anti American Anti War PPL they liek giving credit and prasie to the enemy and tear thier own counrty down in the process

What a bunch of garbage.&nbsp; I only said it is obvious that the Iraqi's don't execute all POW's.

I can't believe there are people foolish enough to take anything I say and twist it into "hussains is such a nice guy".&nbsp; What a joke.

I'm sure one of the mods here can tell you that I recently received an official warning (plus lost 1000 blessing points) for my inappropriate language in regards to Hussain.&nbsp; (I called him a "bad name" - yep, I'm just so in love with him, huh?)

For someone who claims to hate being labelled a bigot you sure love to put words in my mouth.&nbsp; Grow up, it doesn't fool anybody.

Uh-huh, and those POW's exhausted their usefulness the second the Iraqi's deserted their post.

Geesh, you guys are going to paint them as the worst whether they execute our soldiers or not, huh?

 

[cenimo]

Who would you rather have been a POW of, the Iraqis or US-Coalition forces?

 

[Kookaburra]

You know . . . I'm just glad the POW's are alive and I'm sure they are also! Give the glory and praise to God, Amen! It's amazing how much they all have survived . . . .

What's the difference? Neither can be trusted.

Without a doubt, the Coalition forces.&nbsp; No contest.

I think you guys are working to hard at deciphering a message in my post that just isn't there...

The Iraqi's are not executing all the POWs.&nbsp; This is good news.&nbsp; Chill.

 

[Blindfaith]

I was so relieved and ecstatic when I heard they had been found/released this morning! What a great way to start the day.

That's going to be some homecoming, huh?

A friend of mine said it this way...

"Okay, so you're in your twenties and you are already an ex-POW.&nbsp; Can you imagine the chicks you can get with that?"

(But of course, there is&nbsp;also always&nbsp;the sad news of other troops that won't be coming home at all )
