I couldn't get the link to work perfectly for me, so I Googled this to read the entire article and found out that another of the Marines who rescued Private Lynch was also killed in July... that Marine's car went out of control on a clear, sunny morning a week after he had returned home on leave. Odd isn't it? How many young Marines die while home on leave... how many were involved in the rescue?
Lynch Rescuer Killed in Car Wreck
Quote:Speer, who was wearing his seat belt, ran off the right side of South Carolina 11 and overturned several times, said Lance Cpl. Dan Marsceau of the South Carolina Highway Patrol. He died at the scene.
Pifka, I was waiting to see if someone else felt strange about this. But now-- I never knew about the car accident! I had to re- read my article to see if they mentioned it but they don't. Yikes!
By the way, I saw a promo for the TV movie, I think it airs next week...
Well, I'm apt to question authority and assume that they are up to no good. I'm sure it comes from being so young when Kennedy was killed and then being exposed to too many James Bond movies. Still, what are the odds? Especially when a lot of people wonder what really happened during that rescue. Who was it said, dead men tell no tales?
Or amnesiacs, full scholarship grantees and movie subjects.
Uh-huh. Well, I'm not going to contribute to anymore of this madness by watching that movie.
OMG! Do you thinks it was one of Bush's henchmen killing off Marines?! Maybe the Illuminati had their goons whack them!
You guys...you crack me up with your conspiracy theories...
Only out done by you guys and your conspiracy theories.............
We almost ought to banish the term "conspiracy theory" from these discussions. Certainly that phrase got a lot of use on "the other side" when Bush critics cried foul and "lies" as the Iraq invasion was about to happen and the admin was full of dubious justifications.
And then so many of Bush's statements DID prove to be lies. I don't remember hearing a single Bush supporter to anything more than try to explain the lies away -- rather than admit (in a manly fashion, as our grandfathers might have characterized it), Hey, you were right -- the guy lied...
What I don't understand, is how so many Americans can still believe the lies when the administration admits to them.
Puzzling.
Because they are so truthful :shcok: Then again, they won't say they won't do it again, either.
Puzzling.
Well that puts a crimp in the "evil bad narsty eye-rackys" arguement, now doesn't it!
Why would anyone think Iraqi Doctors were the bad guys in the first place?
If you recall, the original story was that the Iraqi doctors were actually torturing the captives, and had killed everyone but Jessica.
mamajuana would have loved this, it confirms her original suspicion.
Okay, I didn't recall. I would have had a hard time believing that of Doctors anyway. Having seen the video of torture chambers it is clear that Saddam's henchmen were no strangers to torture, but I would hate to think anyone would assume your average Iraqi would approve. I'm quite sure your typical Iraqi feared being in a torture chamber as much as anyone else.
Lynch was supposedly tortured and mistreated from the moment she was captured until she was rescued by the US military. That's the story they tried to feed us. The whole basis of her celebrity.
That type of propaganda should be expected regardless of who's sitting in the oval office. Usually warring Nations try their best to dehumanize the enemy completely. The less sympathy you have for your enemy; the easier war is to swallow. With your knowledge of history, Bob, you could probably exemplify this point better than I could.
