That final shot of her smiling is going to become immortal

And it appeared to me there was tear falling from the side of her eye toward her ear.....tears of joy, of course.

Q (Sky): Street fighting in B-dad where your technical superiority won't work? (*throwing shoe at monitor)

A: We have a considerable freedom of action

[Sacajaweau]

Saw part of the video of Jessica's rescue. Our guys were carrying her on a stretcher to a vehicle? It seemed liked they were walking quite a ways. I can just imagine the soldiers feelings as they picked her up to scoop her away.

There was a closeup of her face. She looks like she's in a lot of pain and on the verge of tears.

Thank you also to the Iraqi who went up to a journalist and told him to tell our troops that she was in that hospital.
