I'm watching the [i]NBC Nightly News[/i] and they report that our missing soldiers have been murdered by the al-Qaeda forces in Iraq. An Iraqi general reports that these two men were "brutally tortured". If I understand the CNN story properly, the remains of our men were damaged such that DNA testing will be necessary to confirm the identifications. Meanwhile, some worthless Islamist group named 'the Mujahedeen Shura Council' has claimed responsibility. I do not know who this group is, but I suppose they were acting to try and get back on the scoreboard after our success against al-Zarqawi.
NBC News suggested that the work of the MSC may have been the responsibility of a new man to lead the al-Qaeda forces. I didn't catch his name, but it really doesn't matter; hopefully we'll send him to join al-Zarqawi soon enough.
I regret the loss of two American soldiers to the bestial savages of the anti-coalition forces. If all goes well, perhaps we will avenge their deaths.
UPDATE: K.J. Lopez has provided us with an article that provides some background on the new man, courtesy of N.K. Gvosdev and a guest poster. Abu Ayyub al-Masri, I hope we've already got an LGB with your name on it.
