Military not to blame.

The family of Houston's Kristian Menchaca, 23, one of the soldiers found murdered in Iraq is saying that the U.S. Military didn't do enough, didn't start searching fast enough. I understand they are devastated after such a loss, but the claim the military hesitated to search for their loved one is something I just don't understand. Why aren't they blaming the animals that took the young men? And what's the Houston Pravda's...err... Chronicle's take on this?
The discovery of the bodies dealt a new setback to U.S. efforts to seize the momentum against al-Qaida in Iraq after killing its leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in a June 7 airstrike.
Setback? Only if the "cut and run" crowd have anything to say about it. The families of these two brave soldiers have my deepest sympathy, but the twisted ideology of their murderers are to blame, not the U.S. military.
