Many American are praying that his fate was spared by those guerillas on Iraq. Personally I wish we could get Truman back in office for about a week so he would just drop an A-bomb on em.

I hope that they are alive still as well.

Yes, I know quite a few that do. Personally I love Bush to death, but we need to go in and take COMPLETE charge and trampled these impetent beings. They are taking more and more American lives each day and there seems to be no end in sight. I have several friends and family members in Baghdad and I am getting sick of this.

19 Foreign Hostages Released in Iraq...including seven Chinese hostages who were just taken today. No word yet on Thomas Hamill.

Good! At least that's a start, but I have a feeling that they'll hang on to him, just because...
