U.S.: Italian Hostage Claim 'Absurd'
AP via Fox News ^ | March7, 2005

WASHINGTON — The White House on Monday said it was "absurd" for a former hostage in Iraq (search) to charge that U.S. military forces may have deliberately targeted her car as she was being rushed to freedom.

Responding to Sgrena's statement that the car may have been deliberately targeted, McClellan said. "It's absurd to make any such suggestion, that our men and women in uniform would deliberately target innocent civilians.

"That's just absurd," McClellan repeated.

He said the airport road "has been a place where suicide car bombers have launched attacks. It's been a place where regime elements have fired upon coalition forces. It is a dangerous road and it is a combat zone that our coalition forces are in. Oftentimes, they have to make split second decisions to protect their own security."

My employer is a hard-core Italian leftist and today he asked us what the latest was on the "slaughtered" agent story. I held my tongue...

The Sgrena wretch should be thankful the Lord spared her life and given her more time to repent. As a lifetime communist, her legacy is that of mayhem, mutilation and murder of her fellow man. Does she deserve to be alive? Did she deserve to be ransomed for several million $$'s by the Italian government? Only the Lord knows. If I were Burlesconi, I doubt I would've made the same choice. All that has been accomplished is the enrichment of the terrorist war chest by a few million and an increase in the innocent dead iraqi's and coalition troops. Why should their lives be sacrificed for this communist wretch??

All the charming credibility of Eleanor Clift and Helen Thomas.

No warning shots? No flashing lights?

Of course I believe this communist bitch.

And yes, George Soros is the john to this hooker hag.

Columbo wants to know how she saw there were no lights if the agent covered her with his body.

Oh, oh, through the bullet holes, of course.

Please explain the Soros connection. I hadn't heard anything about him in relation to current events in Iraq.

Soros is all ways a good suspect when something large and full of BS happens, and it requires a lot of money and coordination.

If this commie so called reporter was not captured and was set up to make the Iraqis and our military look bad while getting millions of $'s/Euros to the Islamofascists in Iraq? That would require high finance, excellent coordination and covert action. With many, one of the first thoughts re who or what organization could carry off such a thing, one of $oreA$$'s backed groups comes to mind.
