Everytime I see that picture of them all smiling it brings tears to my eyes. Maybe it was foolhardy to go there but they went for the best of reasons – completely selfless desire to help others. The best of humanity meets the worst of humanity

I appreciate Gayle’s and Lindsay’s interest in my professional practice. FYI, my firm’s senior partners are on vacation, so I am taking advantage and giving all of you my pearls of wisdom–don’t you feel special. By the way, I just chased down another ambulance–my Nikes are really doing their job. Ok, so what’s the topic…the Taliban. Last I checked, the Taliban and liberals are not exactly in agreement on any issues and no liberal I know of is in favor of kidnapping or killing innocents. Now go back to Rush who I understand has a new source for his meds.

[...] Taliban, they must be thinking that they chose the perfect hostages. Not only were their captives turned on by their own people, their government tried to engineer ransom payments to the terrorists and throw all of the blame [...]

How does the Taliban expect to win hearts and minds if they keep doing this type of stuff.

And they’re really spoiling that whole “religion of peace” thing.

Back to topic after brief troll diversion:

Please keep praying for these missionaries. May they feel the peace of God that transcends all understanding …that will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
(Phil 4:7)

And may the pastor who died for his cause rest in peace. I am sure he saw the face of God today.

Or he spent the night at a Holiday Inn Express?

Maybe he is Geraldo?

Lindsay, maybe he really meant to say he’s taking paralegal courses at the local community college?

MikeB,
As an “attorney” you must not be very busy to be hanging out with us. Why don’t you chase a few ambulances and drum up some work? Isn’t there any class action lawsuits you could jump on?
Perhaps the Flying Imams could use you. The lawyers I know don’t have time for blogs. Who are you billing as you blog?

If you want to insult Michelle, why don’t you take it back to Kos or other blogs? You are a bore and I will no longer read your nonsensical blatherings, much less respond to your troll mentality.

MIKE B:
My question was;
A) rhetorical (look it up)
B) Definitely not for you- if I ever want to know anything from you, you will know. ( don’t hold your breath)

I wonder if 10 or 20 dead Taliban prisoners for every hostage killed would work?

Also, since you like to cite works of fiction and op-eds as “facts,” read the Kite Runner so you know what Afghanistan was like under the Taliban vs. how it is today.

Where are the sources that Afghanistan has a functioning government and military? Really? You need a source? LOL! Try google. Do you need a source that countries including the US are currently assisting Afghanistan? Try google again! For information about the assistance that Afghan tribal leaders are offering, working against the Taliban, especially in this Korean hostage situation, try actually reading the articles on this site rather than blindly posting your drivel in the comments.
