Chinese get dumped...Korean CHRISTIANS get released but Japanese kids don't. Hmmm, let me see. It couldn't be that the toothless SDF and that the big Japanese ransom is too good to pass up, could it?

Actually, I think it can be assumed the Japanese are aready dead as well as their captors...therefore the "lack of ransom demands."

Yeah I can see the Emperor of Japan having a lot of clout over the US and when he says get them there hostages out of Iraq, he means it bygolly!

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the three hostages were dead already...


But haven't the clerics and other more sensible of the retard posse, called for an end to the kidnappings?

I am beginning to think that maybe the bastards that are doing the kidnapping are not Iraqi??? but maybe not.. who knows.. I know one thing, if you go there, you risk this sort of thing happening...

I'd say it's too late... in the deepest speck of my brain(5) brains i think they released the Chinese because of some ties... or being spooked of being overrun by 700 million chinese...
