Awsome, best news all week.

yeah rofl good guards. the guy just walked out of the building and fund an american patrol lol

maybe they got tired of feeding him biggrin:

or perhaps the forgot to watch him in shifts and got no sleep and passed out

Maybe they let him ago and he wanted to feel big and say he escaped?

Just thinkin' of all the possibilites. Iraqi's have let em' go before...

Guards were probably smoking hookah in the back. happy:

must be some catch..bomb in his rectum or something

Good way to make americans think this war is still worth fighting for.

gg april 30th pull out date

June 30th actually,
but its still not going to happen

You dont think so? How come? I kind of thought it was probable we would stick to that date.

a lot of things can happen in 2 months, right now we are at the point where things can go our way or go real sour real fast, only time will tell; that's why promising a set date may not have been a good idea.

I was watching this story last night, my wife had not seen it yet.

And it turns out the guy had escaped before, but couldnt find any American soldiers, and was recaptured.

This time he waited until he heard a convoy coming by before escaping.

Smart and lucky guy.

Good job, I was hoping this chap would escape.

too bad the iraqi prisoners who the us soldiers were torturing didn't get out free as well.

You call that torture? BWAHAAHAHA, hardly.
Check out the book "Flyboys" when you get some free time. You'll read about some nice torture in there.

who knows...the USA is powerful enough to be able to hide the real gruesome stuff.

Freedom of the press.

the fact that news got out shows that the high level commanders are not trying to hide anything (maybe the underlings who did it are though, but they are in the minority)

You're probably right about that. Torture of POW's is a fact of life. I don't think the majority of prisoners were abused though. I'd much rather be tortured by Americans than by the Iraqis....at least you know you'll live through some humiliation.

wern't there a few iraqis who were beaten to death?

Pyro, would you please stop trying to stir up the whole nationality flame war again?

Thank you in advance for trying not to act like a spoiled 12-year old.

Not too sure about that.....but i do remember seeing images of American troops who were ahot in the head and left for dead lying in a pool of blood. Also, wasn't Jessica Lynch sexually abused by her captors?

It started a civil discussion and didn't turn into a flame war though.

Just hope they dont kill or torture the other POWs in retaliation for the pics or of this guys escape. ed:

the media leaks out too much, it is like guarenteeing that.
