Dan Rather is reporting this as "false, but accurate."
A few problems.
1. How do you fit 36 people in 3 tanks, and 3 humvees.
2. They claim to have captured women. I though women were not allowed in combat roles.
I am almost certain that this is baloney. Al Jazeera and Al Arabia would not hesitate to air footage that their audience would love to see. The "humiliation" of infidels would be a sure fire ratings boon. These 2 TV networks are not afraid of any retribution from the West. They are the propaganda arm of the Islamofascists.
Pray that this is just another example of Muslim "taquiyah" or cultural LYING. Quite common in Islamic circles and culturally acceptable in that part of the world. The Islamofascists are very similar to their cheerleaders and supporters, the looney Left, in that respect.
Please! The ChiCom News is agitprop. Post a BS warning next to title if you must post this crap. Even Debka is more reliable!
"If you had a choice between maybe getting hit by an RPG in a firefight and definitely getting your head sawed off by a dull machete, which would you choose?"
I would choose the RPG. Getting my head sawed off is not an option. If my tank ran out of ammo, I would run them over. If my tank ran out of gas, I would shoot them. If my gun ran out of ammo, I would stab them with my knife and if my knife broke, I would surrender with a live grenade in my mouth!
I don’t believe this story, and I hope that it’s wrong.

"Well, we were in tanks, but they had us surrounded, so we gave up." Smells like camel dung to me.
No kidding, our air support including Apaches would have chopped them to bits...
Suppose it would be like anything not in a sub is a target to submariners
"Okay, anyone really believe this"
Yes. . .the democRATS
You are right. . .it was the MEDAI that ran with the original female Audie Murphy story.
MEDAI = MEDIA. . .of course, you already knew that.
Why do you continue to post this negative doom and gloom stuff ?
You may not respect Jessica Lynch as a woman but she was serving her country and as such deserves the respect that any POW receives. I never heard her bad mouth the United States after her ordeal. G-d bless ALL our troops.
Sorry, but I badmouthed nobody, except maybe the rumor mill which depicted her as a cross between Audie Murphy & Sgt York there for a while.
I meant no offense, I was just sincerely asking what the story settled into. It has nothing to do with her being a woman, soldier, American, or anything else.
Looks like Drudge has pulled the link.
Absolutely NO WAY this is true.
What I say to all that is..........R-I-IGHT!
