NBC to Make TV Movie About POW Jessica Lynch

What are the odds that the brave, DECENT, honorable man, (an IRAQI LAWYER no less! Two stereotypes punctured at once!) gets a prminent part in the movie. Or will his part be minimalised?

Granted, the majority of the movie will be the "ambush", (got lost, wrong turn/not realy an ambush) firefight, capture, torture, and rescue.

Who will be cast, as Jessica, the lawyer, the nurse, the spec ops boys ?

"It is almost impossible to express how grateful we are to the brave American service members who participated in Jessi's rescue and to the courageous Iraqi citizens who risked their lives to make her rescue possible. Jessi is alive because of their sacrifices," they said in a statement.

What does that quote from her parents have to do with the religious idiots in her hometown hanging signs thanking GOD for doing it?

So where's the movie about John McCaine? No offense, but he was in a Vietnamese prison for two years. Seriously, what could possibly make this movie longer than an hour?

No, it was a Muslim leading the way. Leading him was probably Allah.

I may be mistaken, but I believe he was in for six.

Yeah, I thought it was 6 years, too...

As for the movie... That'd be a pretty long movie. And boring.

John: Day 1,587. Scratched a tallymark on the wall again today with that rat's femur. Ate dirt. Got poked at by that VC bastard with the double-chin. Slept. Further bulletins as events warrant.

You're probably right. I'm not sure where I got 2 from.

Nothing.

I just wanted to point out that some people are grateful. I apologize that I didn't explain that in the original post, but I hit the submit button too soon.

Depends on your point of view. Many believe that trials make us stronger, just as iron is refined in fire.

Right.

If something good happens, God made it happen--shaping our free wills...err...what now? Ask the Christians.

When we have evil, God is testing us by torturing us and hurting us...than arbitrarily decides when we've screamed and cried enough...yeah....
