| QARGHULI VILLAGE, Iraq — Sometimes when he's out on patrol, Army Spc. Samuel Rhodes sees a shred of camouflage in the bushes, and his heart leaps. Each time, Rhodes hopes it will be the missing clue to the fate of two U.S. soldiers who were captured by insurgents south of Baghdad after an attack in May. Inevitably, though, the piece of camouflage turns out to be from an Iraqi army uniform. "That just crushes you," Rhodes says. His missing comrades, he adds, "are on my mind every day." The trail of Spc. Alex Jimenez and Pvt. Byron Fouty is getting colder by the day, leaving their platoon-mates with only faint hope that they are still alive. Their absence is particularly poignant because such losses have been so rare in Iraq: Unlike previous wars, when thousands of troops have gone missing from chaotic battlefields, only four U.S. troops are listed as missing in Iraq.
