i think the whole scene where Iraqis bring down the statue of saddam was a hoax itself.. i wouldnt be surprised if they were paid...

Not so much hoax as stadged AGAIN. They showed a different angle on an expose documentry on channel four called "the true face of war" or something, and it showed that there were fifty people at a push, bringing down the statue, all the rest were journalists and film crews. The really funny thing was that they all had to stop filming at one point because they couldn't bring the statue down and a crane was brought in and then they redid it.
And who gives a ***k about Jessica Lynch??There were also other prisoneers released, granted the other women ws black but Im sure the America media could have worked that angle.
Why is one American life worth more than a thousand Iraqi lives?
And Sept 11th....under the dome, get over that already, this war had nothing to do with that and everything to do with manipulation of the masses.
Although not even that was done so well. Couldn't they have planted WMD there just to save themselves from international humiliation??
It showed President Bush (news - web sites) holding the hand of Army Sgt. First Class Thomas Douglas as the wounded soldier lay in a Walter Reed Hospital bed in Washington, D.C., recovering from the bullet wounds that earned him a Purple Heart in the Iraq (news - web sites) war.
Eric Draper, who is George Bush’s personal photographer, took the poignant photo last April 11 and developed it in a darkroom at Anacostia Naval Station in Washington, D.C. It was then sent to the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse and Reuters.
The wire services – behaving like adjuncts of the White House – distributed the staged hospital scenes, and noted in their captions that the photos were handouts.
But the great majority of readers who saw the image didn’t know where it really came from or who took it, because it was published with either an AP or AFP or Reuters credit, giving it a credibility that it didn’t deserve. [continued, see link]
All the Iraqi doctors and civilians involved in this issue, who were publically villified, deserve an apology at the very least for their treatment by the media and for being accused (without proof) of capturing and mistreating her.
An Iraqi ambush in which 11 American soldiers died and six, including Private Jessica Lynch, were captured occurred because of mistakes and malfunctions, a report from the US army has concluded.
In the end, when all is said and done, the truth will be revealed. The so called "Heros" of the US army, the depleted uranium that they used in bombs, the total Iraqi death toll, the main players behind the war e.g. haliburton, Oil companies etc. will all come to light.
Many empires have come and gone. This too shall pass and the remaining will talk about it like we talk about the Empires of the past. Dont take me wrong. Even Islamic Empire is a part of the same History.
If a nation/empire lies and cheats and causes opression to the people of the world and does not learn from history, they will make the same mistakes over and over again.

Excatly. But it seems that many American's are prepared to ovelook the blatant lies and falsehoods told in this case, and celebrate such people.
she can't even talk properly and they have made a hero out of her. americans dofinately have very low standards when it comes to making heros [out of their own people]. :~)

She can't talk properly? You should *definitely * work on your spelling before criticizing others. :~)
Check the record, Jessica actually thanked the Iraqi doctors who helped her.
Part of the reason people were drawn to her is that she is a simple country girl. Every nation has simple but honorable people. She was also one of the US's first women POW's, and the nation was worried about her. The true and total story is not yet written. She has asked for a medical discharge, and will probably start telling the whole story once she is no longer a soldier, (and the book deal is signed).

I think it more important that American's work on how to stop lies being told as fact, as in this case. At the least stop celebrating non-hero's and liars?
