You have to think it's a prank. If they really tried to pass this off as legitimate, then indeed the terrorists are running on fumes at this point.

They can't think we're that stupid.
Oh yeah, these people are winning the war in Iraq.
John Adam. ing brilliant."Our mujahadeen heroes of Iraq's Jihadi Battalion were able to capture American military man John Adam after killing a number of his comrades and capturing the rest," said the statement, signed by the "Mujahedeen Brigades."
In other news, Ronald McDonald has been captured by terrorists and will be beheaded if their demands are not met!
The way the article is written, it's almost like they're not ready to say it's a toy.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military said Tuesday that no American soldiers have been reported missing in Iraq after a Web statement claimed that an American soldier had been taken hostage.
The authenticity of the statement and photo could not be verified, and Staff Sgt. Nick Minecci of the U.S. military's press office in Baghdad said "no units have reported anyone missing."
The posting, on a Web site that frequently carries militants' statements, included a photo of what that statement said was an American soldier, wearing desert fatigues and seated on a concrete floor with his hands tied behind his back.
But questions were raised about the authenticity of a photo purporting to show a hostage with a gun to his head. The figure in the photo appeared stiff and expressionless.
Liam Cusack, of the toy manufacturer Dragon Models USA, inc., said the image of the soldier portrayed in the photo bore a striking resemblance to a military action figure made by the company.
Fake. A WhoIs search of the website showed it to be hosted out of Dallas!
Here I come to save the day......
Which website did you look up?
Others did the footwork, but the original terrorist site this was posted on. All you need is their IPP number and a program like Net Trace.Which website did you look up?
Uh, I think the picture of the doll and it's head kinda like proved the image was fake Dan!
Holy crap, that's hilarious.
And Dan, terrorists host web sites in the US all the time. That doesn't mean a thing.
The alnaeda web site that used to be the big site to follow post 9/11 sprung up on servers in Dallas, LA, and I think Baltimore as well at various times.

Women do not belong in combat.
elmo cracked me up....good one spurm!
You know, it probably makes me sound like a coward or something but I agree 100%.
Not that I'm a *weak* person, but I'd rather be at home barefoot & pregnant than subject myself to the possibility of being taken as a POW...and I'll never understand women with apparently that much testosterone to want to do so.
And I was just fishin' to see if that was him, Spurm....I jack pictures all the time.
I know your just 'jacking' with me SW, but...And I was just fishin' to see if that was him, Spurm....I jack pictures all the time
