Crash caused Lynch's 'horrific injuries'
http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030709-121049-4754r.htm

"The Army will release a report tomorrow on the ambush of the 507th Maintenance Company in Iraq that will show Pfc. Jessica Lynch and another female soldier suffered extensive injuries in a vehicle accident, but not from Iraqi fighters. "

"Pfc. Lynch also was pulled from the wreckage and taken to the same hospital. "Lynch survived principally because of the medical attention she received from the Iraqis," one source said.
A week later, she became one of the war's most recognized faces. A combat camera crew recorded American special-operations forces carrying her broken body on a stretcher from the hospital to a rescue aircraft. "

2. Whoo Hoo! Chalk up another public relations fiasco for these nuts.
Poor girl, I have said it before and I'll say it again. I feel so sorry for her. To be used this way. I hope that they rot in hell for eternity.

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap--

guilty over the fact that she her accident killed the others in the truck with her-

there are no heros ...

this whole Iraq thing is one major F* up after another then another--
Half the deaths there were from friendly fire(even though they're not listed as such)
Those poor people gave their lives ---
When Iraq posed absolutely no threat at all to any country--especially to the US of A!!!
This invasion will go down in history as the greatest sin ever commited against the citizens of this country--
misinformation--misrepresentation--mis leading motives--

Bush kills his own people!!
all for those slimy scoundrels to get richer and richer---

We have to bring our troops home NOW !!!

3. Well, at least they managed not to kill her...
..."rescuing" her from her doctors. <sarcasm off>

And where's the Iraqi lawyer who tried to hand her over to US troops today? I mean now that he's been awarded US citizenship?

9. They snuck one in near the end (bad grammar included)
U.S. commandos rescued Pfc. Lynch, 19, on April 1 after her captives had fled the hospital.

Shouldn't it be her CAPTORS?!?!? And we already know that that is not how it went down.

Yes the rat's do seem to be packing their bags.

11. LOL!

She was lying injured in a hospital and yet she had taken captives!

Whoever said the Washington Times was professional? Don't they have editors?

8. Hey, Tory Clarke! Is Robert Scheer a patriot now?
She wrote ti the LA Times less than a month ago, responding to his article on this, calling him a Saddam lover and such. I guess she'll continue her distinguished career on bush's campaign - he shoo needs stuborn liars!

10. Karl Rove is a genius
Rove's ability to play the docile US media is amazing. the rest of the world has known this for many weeks, yet they are able to keep the truth out of sight of the majority of Americans long enough that the flase story has soaked in enough that it doesn't mater hwn the truthh finaly leaks out.

How many beleive we are sending troops to Liberia? They wave that story around enough that people think we're going to send troops and hear about it enough untio they assume that we have (even sending an advance team so that they are seen on the evening news) but when the story has served its purpose they quietly announce there will be no troops sent.
