And my question, does the president think that the Iraqi army has somehow changed to avoid the raping of female prisoners? Or does he believe that it would be wise to keep the women out of combat areas?

Shut up.

I support Ari and the President. There is no point in going over this. It does no one any good.

We're about to have control over this country. We are going to try a lot of people for war crimes, and you can bet that this includes crimes that may have been committed in Gulf War I.

In the civilian world you don't drag a woman's name through the mud, who has been the victim of rape. The reporters attempt to sensationalize this issue is disgraceful, as is your attempt to wave the bloody shirt.

True, but I don't want to go there. This is disgusting.

This is a truly tasteless question. What if the family of the woman POW heard this and are now torturing themselves wondering what's happening to their daughter and sister?

This is a stupid article, but then it's from Les, so what would you expect.

The title is MADE UP from whole cloth.

I could NOT agree more, Illbay.

Big bad Bump!

We don't need this kind of thing now. Respect the family of this woman, and don't do this!

What's the point of this reporter's question other than to sensationalize the issue? Rape of an American female POW is a distinct probability considering the brutality of the Iraqi regime. There is nothing the President or anyone else except the Iraqis holding a female captive can do to prevent it.

It's not the reporters fault for asking the question, it's our idiot pol's fault for allowing this insane policy to exist.

The families torturing themselves wondering what's happening anyway. Not everyone needs Ari Fleischer to figure help them figure the world out for them.

Women should be NOWHERE near a combat situation. Though we now live in PC world, with PC jackasses who are afraid to rock the boat. Even if it means the degradation of our military and women suffering permanent and immeasurable harm.

Thank you for your thoughtful post on this situation. May God bless every soldier male or female - and protect those women captured from this terror.

I support Ari and the President.

We're supporting "Ari" now. Gosh almighty, you people are even more far gone than I thought.

But then again, you support the Palestinians so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
