L’il Boys Play With Dolls
now we were stranded in the jungle
looking for some rock and roll
like vietnamese babies on a food patrol
This photograph was published yesterday at a jihadi site, and the Associated Press ran with a piece on the newest American hostage in Iraq:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) – Iraqi militants claimed in a Web statement Tuesday to have taken an American soldier hostage and threatened to behead him in 72 hours unless the Americans release Irqi prisoners. The U.S. military said it was investigating, but the claim’s authenticity could not be immediately confirmed.The posting, on a Web site that frequently carried militants’ statements, included a photo of what that statement said was an American soldier, wearing desert fatigues and seated on a concrete floor with his hands tied behind his back. The figure in the photo appeared stiff and expressionless, and the photo’s authenticity could not be confirmed.
Let’s see if we can help you out with that. Follow the photo sequence at Little Green Footballs.
This is funny either way—if it’s a prank concocted by some 14-year-old, then the alacrity with which AP bit on it just indicates its desperation for some bad news out of Iraq in the wake of the election.
OTOH, if this was the work of genuine Islamic terrorists, then bin Laden might as well surrender now. Al-Qaeda can kidnap all the G.I. Joe action figures it wants, and America will not be shaken, except possibly with laughter.

Hmmm something very fishy here, surely with all the gadgets employed by the FDI etc, who can trace even a spammer to his tiny little bedsit, the so called jehadi site continues to post these pics….and no one knows who there are????
Pull the other one, it’s got bells on it.
Or maybe the F** are behind it themselves? (!)
