Idaho's Continuiing Mission to Make Right Wing Americans Feel good - Jessica Lynch

[Idaho]

Isn't it a shame that life can't be like Hollywood

So it turns out she was nearly abandoned in a firefight and Iraqi soldiers took her to a hospital where Iraqi doctors saved her life. And into the picture comes a bunch of yank soldiers.

It would be if it wasn't so

And as for the story of Pat Tillman:

The Pentagon has said that there was no attempt at a cover-up, merely “errors of judgment which created the perception of concealment”.

Since it says Iraqi 'troops', wouldn't it be safe to assume that these were allied forces, who tend to fight along?

Someone put the coffee on. Frag's still a little bleary-eyed.

Shouldn't you be nursing my Jack Daniel stocks instead? But sure, black please.

edit, I'll get my own, want some? Got the finest arabica.

Lynch was captured in the initial invasion, so I doubt they were allied.

Oh I don't even know who it is, I just recently learned that Iraq isn't a member of the EU. Anyways, all this is an old story, I believe I even read it here, but maybe it was a different Iraq, who knows how many there are when you look away for a second.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Meh...I don't know about all those other right wing Americans, but I never felt Lynch was the hero - rather, the soldiers who rescued her were.

And haven't we known since a couple weeks after Tillman's death that it was friendly fire?

Sometimes, Idaho, I doubt you're really putting your effort into making me feel good.

CR

PS - where did you get the name Idaho? It seems the state of the same name and you aren't similar politically.

[Don Corleone]

I believe it relates to the Frank Herbert character Duncan Idaho from Dune, correct?

Yeah, Idaho, no offense, but if you're trying to get our goat, you're going to have to get up a little earlier. I actually DID get really upset about the Pat Tillman coverup, when it came to light, 3 years ago. But at the end of the day, I can only spit nails for so long. What else can I possibly do? Impeach Bush because some Lieutenant Colonel threatened his soldiers if they came forward and told the truth? Maybe we should impeach Bush because my dog pissed on the floor and didn't make it outside?

[Zaknafien]

Yep. Good stuff.
