Ungrateful "Christians" rescued

No shots were fired and the kidnappers weren't there? Sounds to me like the army got a call to pick them up, because the kidnappers didn't want to deal with the situation anymore, and decided to turn the whole thing into a opportunity to show that they're doing SOMETHING out there. They need a couple results to flash.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

Well, this probably has something to do with that they weren't rescued so much as released (as the rather significant lack of gunfire or kidnappers indicates). I'm sure they thanked the people who picked them up in person, but that doesn't mean they have to publicly praise the military.

Also, religious pacifism in no way indicates that these people are "on the left". And they hate America, too? Seems to me they were working with an American, not to mention the fact that one of them is British, which bunches him nicely with your "U.S. and allies".

How ya doing, buddy?

There has also been an interview with an American soldier involved saying that the first knowledge of the prisoner's whereabouts came but three hours before they were picked up, if you care to look at more than one report of the event.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
