Completely Clueless People

Insurgents say they are holding US soldier Rory McCarthy in Baghdad Wednesday February 2, 2005.

A militant group in Iraq claimed last night to have kidnapped an American soldier and threatened to kill him if Iraqi prisoners were not released within 72 hours.

The group posted on the internet what appeared to be a photograph of a soldier sitting in front of a black banner with a gun pointed at his head.

A statement posted with the picture said a number of other soldiers were killed when the hostage was kidnapped and suggested the group was holding other soldiers. The group did not say where the incident happened and there was no independent confirmation of the kidnapping.

"Our mujahideen heroes of Iraq's Jihadi Battalion were able to capture American military man John Adam after killing a number of his comrades and capturing the rest," a group calling itself the Mujahideen Squadrons said in a statement. "God willing, we will behead him if our female and male prisoners are not released from US prisons within the maximum period of 72 hours from the time this state ment has been released," the statement said.

The US military said yesterday that no American soldiers had been reported missing in Iraq. "No units have reported anyone missing," said Staff Sergeant Nick Minecci in Baghdad.

The Guardian Unlimited news website is completely clueless just like some Liberals media continued to report this fake hostage story even after it was debunked on the first day within the hour with the conservative bloggers help, of course.

But I tell ya, those jihadists are certainly getting desperate. First used a young "insurgent" who had Down Syndrome to blow himself up at one of the Iraq's polling station, and next, you get "Soldier Cody" being held hostage which was a total bunk story, obvious to anybody except those who really, really, really, really, really......breathes......really wanted to believe. Man, what's next? Ransoming Barbie dolls?
