The best thing about the rescue was one of her school friends saying the rescue proved without doubt the existence of God

Shouldn´t we also cheer about that?Blah -
I thought it was ironic that the storming of a town and killing lots of people in the process to rescue 1 person could in any way prove that God existedOriginally posted by BeBro

On German TV it was called a rescue operation. Since it hardly can be called war-friendly, it must have been really intended and not only "stumbled over". So this message is probably not propaganda.
While I'm glad for the young lady, I have to ask, what makes her so special, that she gets much more attention than the other prisoners of war on both sides? Is it because she is young and cute?
And why are there so many threads open on this issue?Comment

Pfc. Jessica Lynch, rescued Tuesday from an Iraqi hospital, fought fiercely and shot several enemy soldiers after Iraqi forces ambushed the Army's 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company, firing her weapon until she ran out of ammunition, U.S. officials said yesterday.
Lynch, a 19-year-old supply clerk, continued firing at the Iraqis even after she sustained multiple gunshot wounds and watched several other soldiers in her unit die around her in fighting March 23, one official said. The ambush took place after a 507th convoy, supporting the advancing 3rd Infantry Division, took a wrong turn near the southern city of Nasiriyah.

UR, please, can you show a little bit of empathy for a fellow human being, drop the ideological and nationalistic baggage that weighs upon 'most every friggin' post you have ever made in the OT, and stop trolling for once? It'd be quite the welcome change.
Thanks!Comment

well if you guys would really read the whole
story you would find out that they went in because
an Iraqi gave information about where she was exactly
located . they also brought out 11 bodies. I'm sure
each one of those would get just as much coverage if they had be alive to rescue....but since she was the only one still alive."If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." -Katherine HepburnComment

A few yaers ago a number of UK infantry were captured by rebels in Sierra Leonne. In a quite big operation the Paras and SAS got them out. It made the news but the covergae the British TV gave the rescue yesterday exceeded that operation. I'm glad they got her out but I think it has been blown up out of al proprortion.lSpace is big.

I read somewhere else that she was found, not "rescued."
Of course it is much better than a story of how the US bombed an Iraqi hospital.
Yes, that's a better troll.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

"Hospital" in Iraq is a misnomer. I think they would more correctly be called a military staging area which includes a day-care center and baby formula factory.Comment
