via Jerusalem Online (click here to see the video).
Fiji announced that the 45 UN soldiers held by the terror organization Jabhat Al Nusra appear to be “safe and sound” in a video clip uploaded to youtube. The country expressed joy in the situation of the inspectors, who are expected to return home in the coming days.This is interesting. The people that are holding the UN troops are affiliated with ISIS. Additionally the two captured journalist were first captured by and then sold to ISIS by supposedly "good" rebels in Syria.
In the video clip, which is 15 minutes long, two men appear speaking in Arabic while looking in the background at the Fiji soldiers sitting crossed legged. Towards the end of the video, one of them speaks English, specifies the date the video was taken, and stated, “Today is September 9 and it is a very happy day.”
The soldier stated that he was happy because they were told that they would be released soon, as reported in recent days. According to him, all of the soldiers are “alive, safe and sound.”
Now we're suppose to believe that Al Nusra is a good group? That if these guys are released that they haven't somehow been paid off?
This just doesn't smell right.
Well, the Fijians are out. I wonder if we'll ever learn what deal was made.

The same kind of "good" rebels that Obama will now seek to train and help... again.
ReplyDeleteWere those guys trigger-pullers or support? If they were trigger-pullers, that is a lot of potential firepower in that photo.
ReplyDeleteERIC: Even if they were trigger pullers they still are not even potential firepower, they laid down their weapons and surrendered to folks who would cut their heads off.
ReplyDeleteI'd say they were no firepower at all, they became rabble and civilians when the first rifle hit the sand un fired.
