ID Cards discovered

It was just released that military units operating north of Baghdad have found the ID cards of two of the missing soldiers in an al-Qaeda safe house.

In a quote from the story, "The military statement said the ID cards of Spec. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Pvt. Byron Fouty, 19, of Waterford, Michigan, were discovered along with computers, video production equipment, rifles and ammunition at the otherwise empty house near Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad."

I have written in the past that the enemies our troops face do not take prisoners of war, they only take captives for later torture and slaughter, this is disgusting and yet we have portions of the American people who feel we are in the wrong and members of Iraq and the Muslim world saying we are the barbarians.

.In past wars if we were captured we knew we would face torture and mistreatment at the hands of our captives, yet there was always that hope that if we survived, we would come home. This is not the case in Iraq and it is a sad comment that a few of the returning troops I have spoken with have told stories of their desire to save the last round for themselves if faced with insurmountable odds in battle and the possibility of being captured. They knew they would face torture and beheading and the possibility their families would see the videos broadcast on the Internet, they were not going to permit this to happen.

This is not an enemy, but uncontrolled murder by an armed populace, noting more and they do not deserve any respect, none what so ever.
