One mother told British medics her 12-year-old son was among dozens of youngsters gunned down by death squads. He was shot in the liver and several times in the stomach in Al Zubayr, just outside Basra, and is now being treated on the British hospital ship RFA Argus. The ship's interpreter, Lieutenant Commander Nigel Bassett, said: "His mother says he was definitely shot by Iraqis and there were another group of children in the same place who were all gunned down by Iraqis. I support Iraqi troops when they shoot their Fedayeen minders. The future is leaving the station, the US is at the throttle, and the Left isn't on board. No oil for TotalFinaElf! Victory is the answer. There are no alternatives. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfire...arlowe/index.html]

Post #93,717 by bepatient 4/2/03 9:53:41 AM Reply	Your "editorial comments" in the post... ...were the first mention of "race" in the thread. And not a very nice one. Its not a "takes one to know one" issue...but being quick to judge others is certainly a sign of the disease. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
Post #93,720 by mmoffitt 4/2/03 10:05:23 AM Reply	That, my dear fellow, was an observation. Look at the medja attention this is getting. I understand that at time of war nationalistic hysteria is the rule of the day. But tell me, do you really think PFC Lynch would be getting all the attention she's getting if she weren't lily white, blonde, pretty, etc.? It is almost fairy tale material, "The fair maid rescued by the handsome prince(s)." You know the name/face/home/parents/etc. of PFC Lynch. But how many Black female POW's are there? Name any of them (now don't cheat and google). bcnu, Mikem Osama bin Laden's brother could fly in US airspace 9/15/01, but I had to wait for FBI and CIA background checks, 'nuff said?
Post #93,750 by bepatient 4/2/03 11:36:36 AM Reply	I didn't know her name either. I haven't been memorizing the "killed or captured" lists. And yes, I think that a rescue of >any< of the POWs would have received this media attention. Even the black females...of which...to my knowledge...there was one. Your "observation" is tainted by race. My "observation" is that the press corps is starving for stories so that they can keep the 24/7 coverage going between custom graphics and commercials. They could've rescued Gumbi (damnit) and it would've received this level of attention. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
