Routine mission turns into hunt for missing comrade - CNN.com

 

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Fifteen tired soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment were on a routine mission Monday afternoon when the call came in that a U.S. soldier was missing and had possibly been kidnapped

 

Comment from Bill: Below is the part of what happened that is beyond aggravating to me.....

"The U.S. troops left with the weapons, but only got a block away before being ordered to return and give the weapons back.

Just as the weapons were being returned, the country's national security adviser, Muwaffaq al-Rubaie, arrived. He questioned Kelly about the raid and made sure the weapons were returned."
