POWs?
Claims are being made that Americans are being taken prisoner.
A top aide to the militant Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said on Wednesday that his supporters had captured a number of soldiers from the U.S.-led coalition during clashes currently taking place across a large swathe of Iraq."Some tribes have captured some occupation forces on the streets," Qays al-Khazali told a news conference in the Shi'ite Muslim holy city of Najaf.

well, from what an analyst on msnbc just said, Moqtada al-Sadr is just trying to "queer it up" for everyone else. aren't you glad that people like this are on our team? im amazed that anyone still talks like that (at least on television) whats next? are they going to jew us out of our victory? you can bet that would get a reaction. im just amazed that people still think like that, but i guess that the emperor sets the example (when in rome...) and you know what bush calls colin and condi behind their backs (if he doesnt say it, he at least thinks it....) i thought the dinosaurs were all dead (oops, i mean the dragon monsters that were killed in the great flood, i have to be biblically correct here) i would just like to turn on the news one time and not feel ashamed of my country, is that too much to ask?

If they are taking prisoners... err hostages, err whatever Rove wants us to call them, I expect Fox and CNN to be the last to run that story.

The POW issue HAD/HAS to come next. It's logical.
I was talking about that very issue with a few vets at the local watering hole on Monday. They see it coming.
