UK Soldiers Save Baby in Bullet Box (Iraq)

[Pert_UK]

"Two young British soldiers have saved the life of an abandoned newborn Iraqi girl after finding her in an ammunition dump.

Private Damien Kenny and Private Jonathan Hunt were searching a house in Basra in the south of the country after rounding up five terror suspects when they made their amazing discovery. There, in a dusty 3ft-long padlocked metal box and nestling among rocket-propelled grenade launchers, AK47s and ammunition, was little Rose.

Tightly swaddled and barely two days old, she was no longer breathing. Putting down their own weapons, the squaddies began giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

A few minutes later they were rewarded for their quick thinking when Rose - named by the soldiers after the red rose of their Lancashire regiment - squeezed Private Kenny's finger. "

God bless 'em.......but seriously - can you say "propaganda"?

I'm glad this baby is alive, but there's more to this story than meets the eye.....who knows, maybe the very presence of males forced the baby's mother to flee?

I smell something fishy...and I'm not talking about the contents of Baldrick's apple crumble.

3. Too bad they could nothing about the thousands they helped Bush murder

Guilt? How many babies were murdered on a lie? Bombed to smithereens as they sat in their mama's lap? All on a lie. This is the outrage--now we will see soldiers rescuing babies from dumps? I recognize the military is nothing but an air headed blank machine following the orders of the evil men who control it, and I wish they did not have to used as pawns--but first they kill, then they save babies?

The world is made up of puppets--soldier, sailor, marine killing machines, puppet governments, puppet citizens, puppet religious sheep, George is a puppet--a wooden headed bizarre pinocchio--

4. Very Smelly

I'd like to think it's a true story, but certainly the governments involved have lost credibility on this issue. It does seem right up there with the Kuwaiti baby incubators story.
