Iraqis say US too forceful in Lynch rescue

Here's another example of of a "writer" with too much free time.

Our troops were actually "rude" and "pointed guns" during a combat operation. Gosh, that's hard to imagine.

How this piece of non-news ever made it into print is a testimony to the stupidity of some newspaper editors.

Underlines are mine. Note the name of the "writer". Mightn't have a tinge of bias, would she?

The Chicago Tribune, in all it's wisdom, ran a similar article with these same allegations and Jessica's picture on the front page of the Memorial Day issue.

A Dallas TV journalist, at WFAA, was inbedded with this rescue groups force. He refuted many of the AP points. Saying that the personal denied knowing about the GIS even though their bodies where found on the grounds. His most damning point was that one of the people that talked to the AP was, BASED UPON PHOTO MATCHES, one of the men that pointed to dead people just after the fire fight. This guy lead AP reporters on a tour of the hospital. MORE JB.

Somebody splain "war" to these people.

US too forceful

This is an image we should cultivate.

Is this a credible source? Why is Dissociated Press still beating this dead horse?

[metesky]

Scheherezade? Didn't she used to dance at Boston's old Club Khiam? She was a big star until she ran off with the bazouki player.

By the time it's all spun they will be saying that Jessica came to the hospital to get away from the harsh way she was treated by her fellow US Troops. Yes she went AWOL and was seeking a better life in Iraq. She went to the hospital to visit the gift shop. While there she fell down some stairs and was injured. Hospital staff repeatedly offered to drive her back to her unit but Jessica refused.

I really hate these people.

Looks like the New York Times disease is spreading like SARS in Toronto.

Some also said the raid itself was unneeded because they were trying to turn Lynch over, although they conceded they made no attempt to notify U.S. troops of that effort.

This article is written for stupid people. People who don't have the brains of a rock. The AP for even foisting this story, shows the news reporting agency as ignorant.

Infact most stories I read from the AP are nothing but liberal biased ignoramously slanted crappola.

Perhaps our troops should have brought flowers to Jessica, donuts for the hospital "staff" and knocked politely asking if Jessica could be released. Anyone who writes a story like this should be required to spend 4 years in the Marines.

UH-UH, NO WAY! (Crosses index fingers at 90 degrees.)

You are NOT going to inflict people this f***ing clueless on my beloved Marine Corps.

[prairiebreeze]

Precisely. Let 'em spend 4 years under the control of some oppressive dictatorial regime. Might give them some perspective. Might.

I was hoping the "infection" would work the other way...these clueless idiots might actually get a clue.

[Monty22]

Jeez, in my opinion we were awfully kind to leave any living Iraqis in that compound alive so they could complain.

What a ridiculous article.

[ChadGore]

What liberal media ?

[Tijeras_Slim]

As opposed to the heroic re-uniting of this poor child with his family...

Perhaps our troops should have brought flowers to Jessica, donuts for the hospital "staff" and knocked politely asking if Jessica could be released.

That is probably the way it would have happened when 'ol Jimmuh Cahtah was prez.
