Missing Soldiers may have been found

The bodies of two soldiers believed to be Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore. were found Monday. The two bodies were surrounded by IED’s so the military had to remove the devices before the two bodies could be recovered Tuesday.

The soldiers’ bodies will be autopsied at Dover, De. to determine the cause of death. DNA testing will be conducted to  to positively identify the remains of the two soldiers.

Supposedly the new Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq killed the two men himself to make a statement. The terrorists want to let Americans know they are still alive and killing! Personally I see their hideous crime as a desperate effort to say to their followers, “See, Zarqawi may be dead; but, we go on!” They also know that there are those in this country, including the media who will say again, louder, “See Mr. President! Your plan isn’t working. You caused this.!”

These are the same people who would have us continue to negotiate with these terrorists. It seems to have escaped them that the terrorists have been killing US citizens, especially soldiers all over the world since the 1990’s in a continually escalating campaign. Saddam even tried to have one of our presidents assassinated. That was long before he turned to bin Laden to offer bin Laden refuge in Iraq.

I offer my deepest, most heartfelt condolences to the families of the two soldiers. May God help ease their pain.

Update: Sadly the two bodies found were identified as those of the missingsoldiers. My sincere condolances to their friends and families and fellow soldiers.
