Iraq Meets Texas in Jessica Lynch TV Movie

By Jon Herskovitz

DALLAS (Reuters) - U.S. Army hero Jessica Lynch is Canadian, snipers loyal to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) crouch on a roof flanked by the skyscraper that was home to television's J.R. Ewing and the streets of the Iraqi city of Nassiriya are near downtown Dallas.



Welcome to the world of NBC's made-for-television movie "Saving Jessica Lynch" where Iraq (news - web sites) meets Texas in the telling of the 20-year-old Army private's ordeal in Iraq.

"That is the magic of movies that we are selling Nassiriya right below the Dallas sky line. We brought Iraq to Texas, and we made it work," said Dan Paulson, the movie's executive producer.

Lynch, a supply clerk, was captured by Iraqi forces on March 23 near Nassiriya. Eleven other U.S. soldiers were killed and nine wounded in the incident. Lynch was rescued by U.S. commandos on April 1 from a hospital where she had received care from Iraqi medical personnel.

Yadda, yadda, you get the idea...I prefer Sci-Fi myself.

1. No surprise, wasn't there a bunch of Saudis

in Texas just before 9/11? Or was it that they flew out of Texas a few days later?

Can't seem to find the news stories around that time to "confirm it", although recently, they started showing up on stuff other than the Conspiracy web sites . . .

2. Repeating the lie...

"The full details of Lynch's story have yet to be told since Lynch said she suffered a loss of memory after her capture."

I have never seen such a quote attributed to Jessica Lynch. This is a Pentagon lie. I have seen quotes from her father and cousin stating unequivocally that she had NO problem with her memory.

I guess Jessica is just going to let this slide, since it is now a permanent part of the lore.

4. Jessica will never own up to the truth. . .

for this reason:

"Lynch, who was badly injured, was honorably discharged from the Army last month, a move that freed her to sign a $1 million book deal."


A Day in the Lie

I read the news today, oh boy. . .
Two thousands-caliber holes in Jessi, PFC
But ’cause the holes were rather small
They couldn’t count them all
Now they’re clueless on the holes it takes to make Jessi hero. . .
They love to twist the truth.

3. Oh good god

I would rather have the story of someone who remembered what happened to her.
