Myths of Pentagon: Lynch Was Saved by Iraqis

A source in the Pentagon says that Lynch survived for one reason only: Iraqis rendered her medical care
American Pfc. Jessica Lynch, 19, who became famous after her rescue from the Iraqi captivity, was in fact wounded in a car accident, not in action. The girl survived thanks to the help of Iraqis, The Washington Times reports. The newspaper makes the publication with reference to a report by the Pentagon that is to be issued soon.

This report disproves information circulated by mass media and claimed that Jessica Lynch was desperately defending herself by shooting; that she was wounded and stabbed when Iraqis were taking her captive.

According to information provided by the Pentagon, a military vehicle with the girl was ambushed on March 23. Private Lori Piestewa, 23, was driving the car; she made attempts to escape from the pursuit. But the car was fired upon; the girl lost control of it, swerved right and struck an overturned tractor-trailer.

It was reported earlier that Iraqis killed Lori Piestewa right at the accident site; however sources in the Pentagon say that the girl was first taken to an Iraqi hospital where she died. Lori Piestewa was he only female soldier of the USA killed during the war in Iraq.

I think this quote was the interesting one

"A source in the Pentagon says that Lynch survived for one reason only: Iraqis rendered her medical care."


Not only the CIA manipulates the Media but the Pentagon does too!

If this is a Dupe I'm sorry giving the Russian perspective here

1. Two interesting points:

1. This report disproves information circulated by mass media ...

This makes it sound as though the mass media made up that story about bullet wounds, no bullet wounds, bullet wounds are back, she was stabbed, emptied 2 revolvers shooting at Iraqis, etc.

2. Private Lori Piestewa, 23, was driving the car; she made attempts to escape from the pursuit. But the car was fired upon; the girl lost control of it, swerved right...

The GIRL? What girl? Was she a child? She was 23 years old, old enough to be in the middle of a war, old enough to vote, sign contracts, drink, and I believe she was the mother of two children. Why is she referred to as a girl? This term belittles her.

2. "girl"

I detest that term in reference to anyone over the age of about 18 but I have to think that maybe it was a translation problem. Perhaps "young woman" was intended or something like that.

The bigger issue is the fact that this blatantly contradicts almost everything the US media has been saying! This needs to get to the sheeple.
