BAGHDAD - The U.S. military has offered rewards of up to $200,000
for information leading to the return of three missing American
soldiers, a U.S. general said Wednesday.

Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, commander of U.S. troops south of Baghdad,
said the offer was made on 50,000 leaflets distributed in the area
where the troops disappeared after a pre-dawn ambush Saturday
in which four American troops and an Iraq soldier were killed.

Word of the reward was also broadcast over loudspeakers as part
of a massive search involving 4,000 U.S. troops and 2,000 Iraqis,
Lynch told The Associated Press.

He said the reward was one of several measures being taken as
part of the search. Troops have pursued 143 intelligence leads,
have staged eight air assault operations, and established blocking
positions to keep those behind the abductions from fleeing with
their captives.

1. What genius thought this B.S. up?!?

Oh yeah, reward money sure helped us nab Bin Laden. ... Oh, wait! :eyes:

When people live from day to day without hope, reward money doesn't mean squat because they would be immediately executed. It's sure hard to enjoy that cash when you're dead. :thumbsdown:

IMO, these assholes plan all along to pigeon hole this reward money toward paychecks for our illustrious Mercenaries. :(
