I kii te putake i whara ia i te whakaeke a te hononga i arahina e te US i a ia e haere ana i roto i te waka e toru nga waka i te marama o Poutu-te-rangi i Nineveh, Iraq. I te tīmatanga, i whakaarohia e ana kaitiaki he iti noa iho te tūponotanga kia ora ia, engari i ora ia. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata.
