The truth about Jessica

"It was like a Hollywood film. They cried, 'Go, go, go', with guns and blanks
and the sound of explosions. They made a show - an action movie like Sylvester
Stallone or Jackie Chan, with jumping and shouting, breaking down doors." All
the time with the camera rolling. The Americans took no chances, restraining
doctors and a patient who was handcuffed to a bed frame.

There was one more twist. Two days before the snatch squad arrived, Al-Houssona
had arranged to deliver Jessica to the Americans in an ambulance. "I told her I
will try and help you escape to the American Army but I will do this very
secretly because I could lose my life." He put her in an ambulance and
instructed the driver to go to the American checkpoint. When he was approaching
it, the Americans opened fire. They fled just in time back to the hospital. The
Americans had almost killed their prize catch.

Jessica's rescue, the toppling of the statue, Colin Powell's briefing--all
faked for the mass television audience.  And yet, there's the majority of
the US audience, just gobbling it up.

Standing ovation for the wonderful acting to all involved!

And the director of this rendition of "Wag the Dog"--Dubya!

Hope Papa's proud of you.

(...) I wonder if they used that same film crew that rigged up that whole moon landing thing. I file this whole discussion right there along with Elvis sightings and the black helicopters. Scott C. (21 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
