Support our Military, bring them home! How long can the US stay in Afghanistan, how many people will die in this ignorant war? Bringing justice for 9/11 was understandable, but an invasion and occupation is not.

Let's have a little less focus on his return and more concern for his well being. There's something fundamental about praying he doesn't return in a bag.

I suspect that he is counting his blessings that he is not a prisoner at Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay.

Hopefully, if they cut his head off, they will use a sharp knife.

Would you rather have the Bush's drive you to the hospital, or would you rather have the Ted Kennedy treatment??

When one realizes Ted Kennedy was set up to keep him out of the presidency by looking back at the history of these Kennedy boys how two previous took bullets in the head, and ended any chance We the People had to take part in government. It is no surprise at all that the CIA had a lot to do with all this. Assassinating another Kennedy would've been too obvious, so they kept another out by placing him in a compromising position. but to comment on the above, only diplomacy will get this young man free, so Obama and his desire to sit and talk with people like this is not such a bad idea. American shall never fear to negotiate, but not negotiate out of fear. If this were you, any of you, you would want your government to negotiate your release wouldn't you? think they're going to release anyone with our fist raised in the air, threatening them? We need to talk with our enemies, as the Godfather taught us. "Keep you friends close, and your enemies closer." We need to talk to people, the actually people who dealth the hand we're staring at. It is why I do not reject Obama's making it clear he will talk or negotiate with those we perceive as foes. it is one thing this country's leaders have refused to do in the past. Instead we want to flex our muscle and threaten, andlook at the mess the Bush/Clinton/Bush regimes have made over the past twenty years. Lots of boys are dead because of the lack of being big enough to sit down and open up discussions. We all have got to change this world and it willhappen when we change our approach to other countries and regain some respect worldwide. otherwise, there'll be more boys we need to pray for like this one. They will release him, for they do not hate us citizens. They hate this government. And can you blame them?

Yes the CIA set Ted up on a date, Poured liquor
down his throat. then crashed his car in the water and escorted him home so he could call the cops after he sobered up.

Mary Jo Kopechne volunteered via the CIA for the mission?

this idiot german-american soldier walked away from his base anyway. he went AWOL. he's a deserter. the first thing they do if they catch his ass is charge him with desertion. he's no hero. heroes don't do stupid things like get drunk and leave base in a hostile country where americans are dying everyday.

What branch did you serve in? I didn't think so. No matter what the circumstances, he's still a young man who is an American citizen. I have a son over there right now. Do I agree? Hell no, I don't think we should have stuck our noses in their business to begin with but these brave young men and women are honorably doing what their country asked them to do while you sit in front of your computer in your cozy little world blasting them. You're an idiot.

i would never serve in the corporate u.s. military. the country never asks servicepeople to serve; they're sent there by politicians, be it george bush or barack obama. it doesn't say anywhere in the constitution that we have to honor troops. i didn't send your son over there; george bush/barack obama did. the outcome in afhganistan is predictable. first american puppet hamid karzai will be re-elected because he is corrupt and supporting corupt regimes is what our goverment does. and finallly the afghans will defeat us just like they did the soviets. you can already see it happening.
