Maybe it's a matter of style...
Donald Sensing reviews the Jessica Lynch teevee movie. He liked it, but he notes that The Nasariyeh battle sequence was well done. My only complaint would be showing the fedayeen just standing in the middle of the street, hip shooting their AK-47s. That's a good way to (a) get killed, as a fair number of them did and (b) shoot the sky, not your targets. But for all know, the fedayeen there really did that.I'm quite convinced they did, of course â and we have the pix from Paleostine to prove that's the preferred way Islamic heroes get dead. Note the heroic stance of Mahmoud, the guy on the right, with the keffiyeh. Definitely more heroic looking than his partner, Abdull, with his ski mask pulled so low over his eyes he can't see what he's shooting at, if anything. Both, note, are out in the middle of the street, in front of God and everybody, just waiting for a very brief splitting headache, which Mahmoud proceeds to receive. I'd guess that's because the IDF guys were making use of cover â they don't need to impress the Paleogirlies â and taking the time to get a good site picture and sque-e-e-eze off that round. Alas, poor Mahmoud. We knew him all too well. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-11-10 |
