Iran threatens to 'Wipe Scotland off the Map'

[shaunbhoy]

Dear Mr AfterDinnerJab,

Please don’t nuke Scotland. You’ll never get ‘em all and those that you miss will come down and start running England. The bastards will make their way to London. We’ve got nobody English here capable of running the place , and what we need is some half nuked, fully pissed, chip on the shoulder sweaty socks around the place.
Yours

'Buffy' Buffoon

Fixed that for you!!

[I]THE JESSICA LYNCH STORY

The fiction

Lynch, then a 19-year-old army private, resisted heroically when her supply unit was ambushed near Nasiriyah on 23 March 2003, four days into the invasion. Badly injured, she was taken to an Iraqi hospital where she was allegedly mistreated. After a tip-off, American special forces stormed the hospital on 1 April, rescuing her and recovering the bodies of eight US soldiers. The night raid, which was filmed, was said to have met with fierce resistance.

The facts

During the ambush, Lynch was knocked unconscious as her vehicle crashed. She woke up in the Iraqi hospital with broken bones but no recollection of the incident, and certainly never fired her weapon. She seems to have been well treated. As for the rescue raid, Iraqi doctors said they were herded at gunpoint and treated like insurgents. Medical equipment was smashed. All Iraqi soldiers had left the hospital the previous day, and there was no resistance.

I remember this event - weren't the Iraqi doctors who were caring for Jessica Lynch the ones who told the Americans that they had her and were treating her.
