#1 don't bother appealing to these guys as religious. they are in it for the cold hard cash. that 10 billion saddam trucked out of the bank in those 18 wheelers went somewhere... it's got to be financing these guys.

#2 OK ... so what's going on here? Last week, they were freed within 24 hrs. Disinformation? Smoke screen to cover complicity with terrorists? Enquiring minds want to know.

#3 I could easily see the MNFI expanding to include..... yes, a Spetsnaz brigade for the JSOTF.

#4 Between pissing off our guys with the torture, mutilation,etc. of two of ours,now they are pissing off the Russians. The Russians have no sense of humor what so ever when it comes to this kind of crap.
Me thinks the Al Qaeda replacement leaders are not the sharpest knives in the drawers for fanning up the wrath of a couple of heavyweights.
I bet the Tigris is full of floaters before too long over this one. Our SOF and the Speznaz will not be interested in press conferences but body count.
Pass the popcorn,this is going to get interesting and very lethal for the AQ's.
