Go get 'em, Jesse!

But... :Q

One of the missing journalists mentioned in that article is Molly Bingham...of the Binghams. They owned the press here in Louisville for many a year and have quite a 'reputation' among themselves

Local article on Molly

We get to possibly send Jesse to Iraq? So much for all the people saying we aren't winning this war.

If only he would. Landmine, sniper, mortar round, artillery shell, nerve gas, bad cologne.

Please, Jesse, go!

Well...

"And I said I would do my very best," Jackson said. He said he had no plans to travel to the region, however

Jackson said he hopes to amass a delegation of religious leaders to help in securing the release of the journalists -- if they indeed are being held -- as well as U.S. prisoners of war and other people missing in Iraq.


Guess Jesse will try to see, with his mastery of diplomacy, if he can achieve their liberty!

GO JESSE GO! Jesse gets trashed by a lot of the media but he is the only one with the balls to go into hostile countries and bring home hostages.

Barny, read the story next time.

I was disapointed, the only good that might have come out of this was Jesse getting lost in the desert of Iraq and now he says he isn't going there.

 

[Kadarin]

Bah.. when all else fails, send in the Rainbow Coalition..

 

[BarneyFife]

He'll probably go there once things settle down.

You think he is doing this for their benefit, he is and ALWAYS will be a press whore.

As long as it gets people's sons, daughters, kids, fathers, mothers etc... home safely, who cares? I want to see Rush truck his big fat ass and do something positive.

It's too bad he's not going to the region, would make the best possible use of "stray" munitions.

Rush knows his place, and will let the military do their job. Jackson on the other hand revels in sticking his nose where it doesnt belong.

 

[Pliablemoose]

I can see Saddam's last stand now, holed up in a bunker with a gun to Jessie Jackson's head, demanding an airplane & cash...

Is there a chance Waters, Sharpton & M. Moore might go too?

 

[SickBeast]

Maybe he'll bang up that Molly Bingham chick and have another kid out of wedlock

Wrong. The military is only good at using force and not at diplomacy. Sometimes you just need to say the right words and Jesse Jackson is good at that. Do you think the family members of the hostages he has rescued from Cuba, Syria, and Yugoslavia are pissed off for not allowing the military to get them? Don't hate him because you don't agree with his political beliefs. If my son was a POW right now, the first person I'd want would be Rev Jackson to negotiate for his release, not Cowboy Rumsfield with his John Wayne attitude which will end up getting the Pow's killed. Diplomacy is very effective.

I'll take US special forces thank you....

1 rescued by use of force.

NONE given back due to diplomacy.

You do realize Saddam still has pows from the gulf war? He has no desire to curry favor by releasing anyone, because the torture stories will outdo any good their release might cause...

 

[NightTrain]

He did release two when Bill Richardson went over.
