"Hamill said the focus should now 'be on the people and the soldiers and civilians that are still over there in harms way and that we can end this ordeal over there as quickly as possible.'

He says his treatment was starting to get worse as his captors learned what was occurring in Abu Gharib.

Let's just get everyone outa there - PLEASE!

1. Wow, another hero off message

glad to hear him speaking up!

3. Played down his arrival home to help other captives

was a good thing but his words below makes you wonder.

Despite his experience, Hamill said he thinks the U.S. should complete its mission in Iraq.

"We need to form a democratic government over there," he said. "We need to get that country on its feet. And we need to take care of those people that are trying to stop it."

4. Yea, he's a disgruntled hostage now.

2. Didn't he say just the opposite a little while ago?...

I saw on another thread that he was advocating 'staying the course'. I'll try and find the thread address.

6. From the present thread's article, this quote seems to be on message to

stay:

Despite his experience, Hamill said he thinks the U.S. should complete its mission in Iraq.

7. Yep, He Told Rita COSBY Last Night

1) That he WOULD go back to Iraq, but after taking care of some family problems, and

2) That he absolutely adores Shrub, his lord and master.

And he is saying "stay the course" with what he says in this article (below).

Btw, Rita has her niche of scooping her Faux colleagues in making contact with bad boys in the news and other extreme boys like this one. Geraldo used to blanket this corner in his pre-Faux days, but last nice he was ICY-----EYE-SAY---while Rita was gushing her scoop, and she even laid LOVE ARMS all over him to get him to LOOK at her. EYE-SAY!

*******QUOTE, from the thread link******
.... he indicated he would not go back to Iraq because of the stress it would put on his children. "I want them to be not worried about their father," he said.

Despite his experience, Hamill said he thinks the U.S. should complete its mission in Iraq.
