[ConcernedCanuk]

. . COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Former prisoner of war Pfc. Jessica Lynch plans to visit her fiance's family this Thanksgiving and to marry Army Sgt. Ruben Contreras in June, the groom-to-be's mother said.

Obligations have kept the couple apart, but Latorre said they talk on the phone "a hundred times a day."

Contreras is stationed in Texas while Lynch is scheduled for a round of media appearances this month. Her book, "I'm a Soldier, Too," comes out this month.

1. This keeps getting better and better.

OMFG

Peace is better than war. May peace come to Iraq!

3. Dupe...

Chack my thread at

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=637255

Your posting of this in LBN helps prove my point...

4. At least it's in smaller print than today's downed helo...

...at the Gazette website.

5. Say goodbye to anything else on the tube until sometime in August *nt*

6. Remind me again why she's a hero? Didn't she just pass out in an

accident and go to the hospital? This must really piss off the folks who are really doing heroic stuff (if you ignore the fact that the whole thing is shameful).

7. Why?

Her hair. She's blonde. Easier to find actresses to play her.

On edit: If they made Shoshana the hero, the only actress that could play her is Queen Latifah. They got more choices with a blonde.

8. Heh...

There's nothing like a media circus. The paparrazzi photographers will parachute into the ceremony. And thousands of weeping fans will cling to the driveway gate, begging for a glimpse of the bride.

Wedding guests...? Perhaps the Ramseys? Gary Condit? Dennis Rodman? Ah-nold? Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding?

I know, I'm exaggerating. Then again...

9. Heard a strange thing ...

... on Saturday's C-SPAN Washington Journal:

Four of her rescuers have died under mysterious circumstances.

[UCLA02]

10. Yeah, the most recent one a few weeks ago

Shot in a drive-by while on R & R from Iraq in Long Beach (CA) at a BBQ.

Another died in a single-car accident. Dunno about any others.

12. Which suggests that Ms. Lynch had better say nothing

that the BFEE wouldn't like -- or else.

Ms. Lynch's best bet probably is to say nothing & fade into obscurity and drop right off the BFEE's radar screen. The BFEE is like the Mafia -- you do NOT want these people to notice you...

11. Will her book be in the Fiction section of the store?

Right next to Lies, Lies and the Liars that tell them.

[rooboy]

13. At least we know why those rescuers are mysteriously dying...

It's all to do with the catering bill.

15. It was just a series of tragic coincidences

Strings of tragic coincidences happen a lot in America.

It's part of the price we pay for freedom.

If you don't believe they are coincidences you are with the terrorists and wear a tinfoil hat.

14. CNN REPORTING: They Met At Taco Bell

Must. Stop. Laughing.

16. I hope she finds happiness . . .

and fades to black as quickly as possible. Your 15 minutes have been up for so long now. Ok, I'll give you till Sunday- and that's it !
