Those DU folks are unbelievably stupid. If breathing wasn't involuntary they'd be too stupid to remember.
Rats In Bunker
The Pentagon said Wednesday that an old bunker used by Saddam has become infested with rats.
Civilians on a U.S. base near Baghdad reported they had seen increasing numbers of rodents in the area surrounding a massive, two-level network of tunnels and rooms estimated to be able to support upwards of 100 people for several months.
The bunker included meeting rooms, a kitchen, huge underground generators, restrooms, showers, private living quarters and rats -- lots and lots of rats.
"We saw some rats around the entrance when we walked up with our lights," said Army Lt. Col. Van Sherwood, a Gainesville, Fla.
Sherwood said American Special Forces troops had taken over the bunker and used it for operations and storage until January 2006. When they left, they left behind pallets of military food rations and water.
The rats had moved in when the American soldiers left and enjoyed what one U.S. military spokesman called "a secure nesting area with a high-calorie, high-protein food source and water."
Sherwood said his unit put down poison and then returned to haul away the carcasses "by the hundreds."
