| this story sounds to scripted to be true. sorry..I'm not buying it. besides I thought the Iraqis all supported us....thats what the Repubs have claimed all along. We don't bomb Iraqis as the lady would have known..at least Repubs claim we don't. I picture a man dressed up as Uncle Sam and playing our Star Spangled Banner in the background making this story up. repubs use their false patriotism for stories like this. sorry try harder next time..  |

| It's funny how the libs on here take such a defensive position about this story. It doesn't have to be true, but it does make a good point. |

 Good comeback,but not for real,for a b rated movie maybe. I too believe the whole thing was scripted,too much planning in the whole story,again,name rank and serial number,and maybe right hand on the bible. We aren't just bombing for the hell of it, over there or anywhere. |
