I'm not saying they should change their views, but how about a mention of their rescuers. Instead they rail against the evil Americans and British. It wasn't the Americans or British who murdered their companion. The fact that a shot wasn't fired during the rescue is irrelevant. There could just as easily have been a firefight.
Seem to me this incident highlights nicely the warped mindset of many on the left. The U.S. and allies can do no right. Even when they get their sorry asses saved my the military they are incapable of looking beyond their hatred of all that is American and offer even a simple thank you. More on the story here http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=458062006 Still no thanks to his rescuers though, but "pity" for his murderous captors. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Acting on this, the SAS was able to launch a snatch raid on Wednesday night to seize two of the kidnappers or their associates. It seems that the prisoners were "persuaded" to give up information on the whereabouts of the hostages. This might have been done with the offer of a financial inducement or the use of some of the more extreme interrogation techniques criticised by human rights groups. A strike-force was then organised by the SAS. It also involved elite Canadian anti-terrorist units. The actual assault operation turned out to be an anti-climax, with the hostages apparently being left unguarded in the house. It is not uncommon for Iraqi hostage-takers to do this, drugging or chaining their captives to stop them escaping while they are elsewhere. TIM RIPLEY It doesn't sound like they were released now does it. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Not saying they should change thier position in any way, but would it kill them to say something like "Even though we continue to oppose this war and the occupying forces, we thank the brave soldiers who rescued our sorry asses from beheading???"
