Marine Held Hostage in Iraq
According to APNews, Fox News, and CNN another hostage has been taken in Iraq, this time it is not an innocent civilian but a US MARINE.
Wassef Ali Hassoun, as stated on the photo of his ID card released by his captors has been identified as a US marine. Terrorists claim that they lured him outdoors, after gaining access to a Marine Post in Iraq, and then took him hostage.
Cpl. Hassoun as well as a Pakistani man (Civilian Employee for Halliburton) have both been threatened with their lives. The terrorists claim that both will be beheaded if the US doesn't release all prisoners held in "occupied" prisons such as Abu Ghraib.
I am afraid these men are most likely already dead. As we have seen in every other similar scenario the captives are brutally decapitated while they are bound.
These chicken shit terrorist know that we will not comply with any demands so what reason would they have to wait until the deadline to perform their barbaric, ritualistic, murder.
My only hope with this scenario is now that the captive is one of the Few, the Proud, the Marines the US will put even more pressure on these terrorist cells. I'd like nothing more than for the Marines to learn the location that these men are being held hostage and deal the terrorists slow torturous death. These Jihadists, Ba'ath Party Members or just plain douche bag Islamic Extremists need to feel Uncle Sams wrath.
We should hold nothing back in finding Cpl. Hassoun and any others taken hostage by rogue groups.
Also, I think that it is time to shut down Al Jazeera. This scumbag “news” agency is nothing more than a terrorist puppet. They have posted photos, letters, audio and video of everything from Usama Bin Laden to the beheadings of innocents. They clearly choose to side with terror and should be dealt with as such.
Pray for the Cpl and his family.
Semper Fidelis Corporal!!
SlagleRock Out!
my heart and prayers goes out to both families. HAVE WE HEARD ANYTHNG ON THE ARMY HOSTAGE KEITH MAUIN?
Posted by: theresa at June 27, 2004 08:32 PMI was asking myself the same thing this evening when this broke. Where is that soldier?
I'm afraid it's probably just a matter of us not finding his body yet, sad and terrible as that is.
Posted by: Mamamontezz at June 27, 2004 10:04 PMI sincerely hope that the cowardly motherfuckers have finally stepped on their dicks. There are enough current and former Marines who still believe that "we take care of our own" isn't just words.
I don't care where he was born, what his name is, what his religion is or anything else - if he's a Marine there WILL be follow-up, and if Colin and his state dept pussies want us to tread lightly, he can eat shit and howl at the moon.
Posted by: Fleck - GOC in Winston Salem at June 28, 2004 05:07 AMI certainly hope that this marine is released unharmed as well as the others. With the overnight turnover of Iraqi sovereignty I fear that increased terrorism and focus on Iraq's self reliance will detract from vigorous prosecution of their return to safety. Pray for their release.
Posted by: Jack at June 28, 2004 10:15 AMI know that we in the western world are supposed to be civilized, and restrained in our dealings with even the most brutal and degenerate savage.
But I think in this case we can all just look the other way, while marines hunt down and rip the life out of these cowardly swine who are interfering with the right of the Iraqi people to be free.
