Wonder if its related to this?
Heard about the other group of kidnappers and decided the money wasn't worth it.

I had sorta been wondering where Melissa Fung was. Hadn't heard her on the radio for a while.
Re: Afghans release captive journalist
Ah yes that pathetic 'negotiating with enemies' thing that keeps being brought up. What a terrible tactic, to negotiate and talk with your enemies in order to resolve differences and seek concessions. They shouldn't have done that, they should have just bombed them back to the stone age and we go in to clean up what's left, if she survived that we'd have got her out that way. Stupid liberals and their 'talking'.

Re: Afghans release captive journalist
but...but talking and giving concessions to the enemy worked in the Al-Anbar province. It reduced violence and allowed US troops to withdraw in large numbers from the area. Gates and Patreaus and v.different from Donald "no known knowns" Rumsfeld and Tommy "we dont do bodycounts" Franks. Al Qaeda must have been praying that the US kept up its original Iraq strategy. AQ in Afghanistan must be praying the US keeps on bombing wedding parties. Women and kids are crap at fighting anyway/no loss.
Re: Afghans release captive journalist
This is temporary, as soon as we get them in one area they will be bombed from the sky. Remember this basic code for conservative politics friend.... USMC > diplomats. Always.

Re: Afghans release captive journalist
I'm attempting satire poking fun at the people who are against 'talking to the enemy' as it achieves nothing and is 'liberal' and instead prefer sabre rattling, and violence to solve every problem, then pass it off as 'the real American conservative way'.
I guess i failed.

Nah... as a Non American, now that I like USA again I tend to think about it as the Bush way...instead prefer sabre rattling, and violence to solve every problem, then pass it off as 'the real American conservative way'.

Re: Afghans release captive journalist
It's good that the Afghans released her. Unfortunately, far worse things have happened. She's very fortunate to be alive right now.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]"The irony is that Americans have been experiencing a lot of change in their lives attributable to these historic events, and some of those changes have distressed many American families — job loss, failing schools, prohibitively expensive health care, pensions at risk, entitlement programs approaching bankruptcy, rising gas and food prices, to name a few. But your government often acts as if it is completely unaware of the changes and hardships in your lives. And when government does take notice, often it only makes matters worse."-John McCain
