She was Fighting to the Death (April-3 Jessica Lynch Propaganda)

[FauxNewsBlues]

Pfc. Jessica Lynch, rescued Tuesday from an Iraqi hospital, fought fiercely and shot several enemy soldiers after Iraqi forces ambushed the Army's 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company, firing her weapon until she ran out of ammunition, U.S. officials said yesterday.

Lynch, a 19-year-old supply clerk, continued firing at the Iraqis even after she sustained multiple gunshot wounds and watched several other soldiers in her unit die around her in fighting March 23, one official said. The ambush took place after a 507th convoy, supporting the advancing 3rd Infantry Division, took a wrong turn near the southern city of Nasiriyah.

"She was fighting to the death," the official said. "She did not want to be taken alive."

Is anybody going to pay for this? This was a flat out lie. There were several others, in the attempt by this administration to find a hero(ine) to pump up the war effort. This is a serious lie. A young pretty blonde woman was captured, and they tried to turn her into Rambo when the story they told was patently false. Howie Kurtz, where are ya? Your paper printed this crap.
