1. Bush and his cronies
Are the idiots that got us there. But if they were captured alive and then killed, I blame that on (insert acceptable word for our opponents in Iraq).

2. I missed some of this story the past few weeks...
I remember three bodies found in the Euphrates last week that were thought to represent these soldiers. Was that found NOT to be the case? Can someone clear up what we know for me?

4. These men are 4 of 5 American hostages
held in Nigeria.
*snip*
Four of the five Americans held hostage in Nigeria by militant groups were finally given their freedom late last night, two days after a promised release failed to materialize.

The four men, all employees of Global Industries, a Nigeria-based oil company working for Chevron, were captured three weeks ago in the oil-rich Niger Delta region by a Nigerian militant political group calling itself the Niger Delta Freedom Fighters, also known as "Egbema One."

Egbema One released the hostages -- Mike Roussel, Chris Gay, Larry Plake and Kevin Faller -- to the local governor's house in Warri, according to media accounts.

BTW I followed the photo link to find the story since these guys did not look like soldiers that would of been captured recently.

6. Yeah, I didn't think an American solider would be
sporting a full blown Grizzly Adams style beard.

7. Our soldiers look like this? I'd bet these are contractors
If our soldiers look like this, we truly do need to start the draft....three of these guys are over 40, two pushing 50+.

I'm betting these guys are re-thinking how good a deal $300 per day sounds for driving a truck across the River Styx everyday.

Without mercs there would be no war. Fuck em. They are accessories to war crimes. I feel for their families though. That is all.
