Italian Reporter: U.S. Tank Shot Me (Commie Laughable Lies as thin as air)
NewsMax.com ^ | 03/07/05 | unattributed

The claims of an Italian journalist who says U.S. troops shot her for no reason after she was released by terrorist kidnappers on Friday keep getting wilder and wilder.

Now Giuliana Sgrena, who writes for the anti-American newspaper Il Manifesto, insists that U.S. forces used a tank to gun her and her entourage down.

"A tank started to shoot at us without any sign or any light," Sgrena maintained to reporters on Monday. "It was not a checkpoint, so I can't explain it." She also hinted that U.S. forces deliberately targeted her, saying that they had been told she and her rescuers were on their way.

"Our car was driving slowly," and "the Americans fired without motive," she wrote in a report for Il Manifesto on Sunday.

U.S. military spokesmen have admitted that troops fired on Sgrena's car, but did so only because it was trying to run a military checkpoint, but that no tanks were involved in the incident.

Two days from now it would be a 16" battleship main gun shooting at her car hundreds miles away from the sea, and in a week it would be B-52 carpet bombing.

She's no worse than Eleanor Clift, who I saw on Fox say that the Italians were still pissed about a "trigger-happy " American pilot who killed several Italians in the Alps a year or so ago, in reference to the incident where an A-6 accidentally cut a ski lift cable, killing several civilians. How this is "trigger-happy" only Eleanor can tell us, the commie bitch.

Probably a Bradley used a fifty to disable the car.
