Let's Hope This Promise is One Kept

Generally when our coalition soldiers go missing it's not good news as the endings are almost always bad with this cowardly enemy.We still have 2 soldiers missing from that earlier ambush where 4 were killed on the spot and another later showed up mutilated and tortured in the Euphrates river. And God knows there have been plenty of others, too many without any retribution to really speak of.

Here's hoping that the military commanders keep their promise made here and unload on this little terror hole as punishment for this latest kidnapping of British soldiers.

Supreme US commander Gen David Petraeus has vowed to inflict harsh punishment on the Shia militia suspected of kidnapping five Britons

As US squads staged raids across Baghdad's Sadr City, and British officials said they were attempting to contact the hostage-takers, Gen David Petraeus, the supreme US commander, was reported to have warned that the group responsible for organising the kidnappings would 'be profoundly sorry'."

Sadr City, Baghdad's vast north-eastern Shia district, is dominated by the Mahdi army of the radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. The British computer expert and four security guards seized in the finance ministry building on Tuesday were driven off in the direction of Sadr City.

Yesterday sources inside Sadr City claimed that the five men had been moved south to the Dayara district. They were said to be in the hands of Abu Daraa, a notoriously violent Shia warlord and criminal who split with Sadr to establish his own fiefdom. more
