Lord, praying this isn't true..

[leadpencil1]

I'll wait for U.S. confirmation, but if true . . . not good.

[johniegrad]

I didn't think women were flying combat aircraft in combat situations.

[Office Manager]

It is pure and simple propaganda.

Ignore.

[Puppage]

Real, reputable source, too. NOT

[demlosers]

I'll wait until its verified by CENTCOM.

[AF68]

LOL! They only wish, in their twisted Sand Nazi wet dreams.

[valkyrieanne]

Pathetic attempt at disinformation.

[ewing]

Is this even possible to happen?

I didn't think women were flying combat aircraft in combat situations.

They're not. At least they weren't last time I checked.

[Interesting Times]

Could we add an "Al Arabiya Claims" to this headline?

[johniegrad]

Last time I paid attention to the gender issue in combat situations I didn't think so.

[ewing]

Good suggestion.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

File this story with the UK troops surrender report...

[LibertyThug]

[MEG33]

The source >Is it as reliable as Debka.?

[TD911]

Actually it's a pathetic attempt at getting dates.

The Iraqis would have paraded her on television by now, to be sure.
