Thursday 2nd July, 2009

A US Marine has been captured by Taliban militants in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.

The Pentagon has said it is the first time one its military personnel has fallen into the hands of the Islamist movement.

The name of the soldier has not been released.

The capture occurred as around 4000 Marines surged into parts of Afghanistan, supported by helicopters and tanks.

One Marine has also been reported killed in an attack on the secluded district of Khanishin.

It is the first major US mission in Afghanistan since President Barack Obama took office in January, when he said he wanted to deal a decisive blow to the Taliban.

WTF

Can you guys be respectful and remember that this person has a family somewhere that is missing him and would like him to come home unharmed. I dont see how making fun of the situation is appropriate at all.

WTF

Respect? Very easy for a fat arse keyboard pusher to type crap and complain. These fat arse complainers are full of their own opinion and probably have breeathing apperatus so they do not drown under all the shit they pile up real high.. They should hang their head in shame as they benefit from the efforts of our soldiers that risk their lives so that we are all safe.. I pray that he is saved

How are US Citizens safer?? with Our Aggressions???

When we bombed Iraq in feb 2001, and got retaliation on sept 11th were we safer for our aggression?

When we invaded Afghanistan and began our genocidal blanket bombing, did the Afghanis rool over? Or are they still retaliating?


When we invaded Iraq, have Iraqis turned to love americans?

Respect! is something American have forgotten!

WWll, we fought a Just War, and we gained respect for Our Peoples! We gave up many lives, years, and body parts gaining that respect! We passed that respect onto your generation, and the few of us that remain, are seeing that respect wasted! Trashed! And turned to hate!

aSK YOURSELF WHY THAT IS HAPPENING!

(R) 2012 DAN QUAYLE Presidency: We WON'T fight Obama's abstracted Afghanistan War.

(R) 2012 DAN QUAYLE Presidency: We WON’T continue to fight 2009-2012 Obama-Biden Presidency’s abstracted Afghanistan War with Taleban. The 2013 DAN QUAYLE Presidency in White House will co-operate with the NATO that they have “already” refused to Obama to send more troops to join his (Obama’s) Afghanistan War; instead, the US under QUAYLE administration will reduce US troops and concentrate on the “Red Zone”, “Orange Zone”, and the “Green Zone” security to help the Afghan villagers who are Pro-West, Pro-American who want to relocate and resettlement to live in “Green Zone”; the children who want to receive Western education.
The 2013 DAN QUAYLE Presidency will TOTALLY reform the Pentagon’s official conceit and panjandrum after all the years of Bush-Cheney administration and the 2009-2012 Obama-Biden administration; Pentagon gotta to reform. The CIA under DAN QUAYLE Presidency will have High-level Dept. for warfare, and the Low-level Dept. for foreign aids and foreign affairs in order to making sure every American citizen are safe and security to work in oversea.

* We Americans hope this captured US Marine don’t have to self-rescue himself home without other American care and help. Pray for him.

info

in these days and times the computer can be a great way for us to info from our soldiers and family, but at the same time information put out by bloggers are not only read by Americans but also by the bad guys. That is why it is so important not to give info that can be used against us or our soldiers safety.Even saying who this soldier is attached to can put him in more danger. Do not give details even if you have fact that it is true. The public may want more info but for the safety of our men and women that are over there please think

One us Marine has been captured by Taleban and many of want to pray for him and his family. what about those afghan poeple wich has been killed by the us army no one say a word about them, are those poeple no humans. Is only American poeple are human beings? That is the thruth. by the way 9/11 a big horse shit.
because one stuped arab attack the super power,not with one plane but 3. watch better the movie call (the thruth about 9/11.). and dont expect that poeple will fell sorry about one marine wich is captured by taleban, cause no afghan will do that. we lose alots of poeple in the war every day.
