#1 Just got home and saw where this clown was speaking out his ass.

Do you think he in for a surprise?

No rest for the weary - had another 14+ hour day today (change of plans).

Time for my 4 hour nap, then get up and finish the job.

Either I got my old wind back, or Im finally losing it. I feel good today.

You guys have a good morning!

#3 We should watch this. If they do kill him, maybe we should kill say, ten Gitmo Prisioners. Ted Kennedy and Durbin, could'nt say anything about Geneva convention, as the opposition is doing the same.
I do hope we find him first though. Much rather put up with the likes of Durbin, then to lose a great soldier.

#4 Adrenalin was a wonderful invention. Caffeine, too. I hope you will be able to catch up on missed sleep soon, Old Spook.

And I do hope that spokesman was indeed speaking out of his ass. Killing a SEAL, especially in the current situation, would be... unwise.

#5 plainslow--Don't worry about it. If OS sez this guy is speaking out of his ass, then rest assured they don't have our boy!

OS--Keep up the good work!

#6 SEALs don't surrender. If they have anything, it is a dead body.
Kill them OS, kill them all. Make them pay for every innocent killed in the US, Spain, Iraq, and the UK.

#9 Why mess with Gitmo prisoners? We know where they are. Pull all of the Marines and Rangers out and FAE the valley. A lesson even an asshat can understand.

#10 (Home for lunch)

Why not just MOAB them?

In this case, its becasue one of our own may be in there evading, or else some who rat people out to us. And don't over look the latter, its how we get guys out of tight spots. Look up "Blood Chit" (Google is your friend). It works, and not jsut for aviators.

And then there is jsut general decency, that we do not DELIBERATELY kill non-combatants.

#11 Let's trade them Kennedy and Durbin for the SEAL!
