THEY'RE RAPING OUR WOMEN!
The idea that one of pop culture's most beloved young caucasian females was raped by "savages" ( Jessica Lynch raped by Iraqi captors, biography claims ) is yet more proof that the propaganda machine is in full swing. The same headlines from yesterday reading that 40,000 (that’s 100 young guys times four hundred since we're becoming numb to bad news being crammed down our throats by the thousands) more soldiers are being deployed to Mess-O-Potamia also have the headline that Ms. Lynch was raped while in captivity... although she can't remember it. Since all reasons for going to war and killing three times the number of 911 dead in the process are now hogwash (and they were before we went as well) the spinsters have cooked up a new round of fictional garbage for us swallow…”THEY’RE RAPING OUR WOMEN!”.
No doubt even Jessica is starting to reel from all this hype even while being showered with fame and a small fortune (update: actually a large fortune). Would these same right-wing spinsters support the possible abortion of any pregnancy from this "rape"? Clearly Jessica isn't pregnant and furthermore I think we all know who is really raping who:
Doctors Dismiss Lynch Bio's Rape Claims (AP). AP - Iraqi doctors who treated former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch dismissed on Friday claims made in her biography that she was raped by her Iraqi captors.
...."When she was brought there she was fighting for her life," said Dr. al-Saeidi at his private clinic. "She was in shock because of the severity of her injury."
He said Lynch was fully clothed with her field jacket buttoned up. "Her clothes were not torn, buttons had not come off, her pants were zipped up," al-Saeidi said....
...."Why are they saying such things?" a bitter Dr. Khodheir al-Hazbar, the hospital's deputy director, said. "We were good to her."
In an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, Lynch said she has no recollection of a rape. "Even just the thinking about that, that's too painful," she said.
Lynch told Sawyer she doesn't remember being slapped or mistreated at the hospital, and she recalled one nurse sang to her.
She also accused the military of using her capture and dramatic nighttime rescue to sway public support for the war in Iraq....
..."They used me as a way to symbolize all this stuff," Lynch said. "It's wrong."
Lynch told Sawyer she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that her gun jammed during the chaos. "I'm not about to take credit for something I didn't do," she said.
"I did not shoot, not a round, nothing. ... I went down praying to my knees. And that's the last I remember." [Yahoo! News - Top Stories]
For those actually concerned about sexual misconduct and human rights violations in Iraq - under occupation we now have Iraqi women fearing for there lives. Rapes of Iraqi women are skyrocketing under the new regime, women are being forced to "cover up" in Shiite areas of the country, and extremely young Iraqi teenage girls are seen being prostituted in and around American bases (as reported by Pacifica radio correspondent Jerry Quickley on Democracy Now 11/03/03) to just name a few of the real atrocities against women.
Update: The number of troops in this current deployment is actually much higher. 43,000 U.S. Reserve and National Guard troops and 20,000 Marines.
