fear what we find may resemble in ways what the GIs in Europe discovered as they raced towards Berlin I think so too. Looks like the seedy side of the Iraqi regime is beginning to come out.

MadIvan - thanks for again pinging me to your fantastic posts. This one is breathtaking in its horror - but we MUST, we MUST, we MUST get the Allies to chronicle the war crimes BEFORE THE EYES OF THE WATCHING WORLD. We are seeing the pictures, hearing the Aljeez spin, and then the facts wander off into the sunset - never to be heard from again. WE MUST SOMEHOW CONVINCE THE ALLIES THAT THEY MUST PUT THIS INFORMATION FORWARD - AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - LETTING THE WORLD KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THE BUTCHERY THAT WE ARE ENDING - HAVE ENDED! One could not "spin" the Nazi death camps. One cannot "spin" this either - but people the world over MUST SEE - MUST KNOW what has gone on there in hell's little corner names Iraq. Do not keep the "investigation results" under wraps. Let the whole world know as soon as possible - not later - what is the horror of what we have found!!!

Backhoe - are you chronicling all the atrocities that have been found and continue to be found in Iraq? In one of your mega list type of thingies?

I hope the Libs and Rats are ready to eat crow

I doubt it. Most of the liberals I know acknowledge that Saddam is a sick human being and a tyrant. They just think that "we're not the world's policeman" and I doubt they'll ever come around. Even if they see footage after footage of Iraqis dancing in the streets after they've been liberated, they'll be questioning our media and government saying that they're only reporting propaganda and not showing the Iraqis who are angry that the coalition forces are there. The press and government they trusted so much when Clinton was in office is suddenly suspect.

On another message board I frequent, someone posted a news article from a French newspaper that talked about all the prematurely born babies that are resulting from this war. The liberals on that message board used that article to justify their position that we shouldn't be there.

I'd sure love to see the liberals eat crow, but I'm not holding my breath.

This may merely represent an attempt by the Iraqis to collect their own war dead from GW1.

Are there not on the order of some 300+ Kuwaiti MIAs from GW1? Many of them are/were abducted civilians if I'm not mistaken.

Egad, MadIvan! I just looked at your profile because I always find your threads and posts so interesting. You consider the hunter who shot Bambi's mum a hero? Why?

There's a short video at the site.
Horrifying and creepy.

As a teen I recall standing inside a German pillbox in Alsace. You could feel Death in the very air. I'll never forget that as long as I live.

As a US citizen I have a nice warm feeling that the Brits and the Yanks are going to have closer international relations than ever before (since that little spat we had a few hundred years back) and I am very glad- I may actually pay a visit there this year

I am really impressed with England and the Aussies.

Foxnews followup--hundreds of boxes with old decomposed bodies, bags of bones. Notebooks with entried indicating the method of death...

The Iraqi's also kept Iranian POWs for many decades before returning them. There is also the case of the missing Kuwaiti armed forces and civilians from 1990/91. They could also be from the uprising that Saddam put down following the Marsh Arab uprising in 1991.It appears there is enough paper work/files and photographs as evidence of who these pour souls actually are.

and even said he was holding a vial of white stuff with no clue what it is.

That he would be touching a vial of unknown "white stuff" says a lot about his IQ level (or lack thereof)

"This may merely represent an attempt by the Iraqis to collect their own war dead from GW1."

Good point. There is also the possibility that these are body retrievals from the Iran-Iraq war. Many many thousands were lost in that region in fighting akin to WW1 bloodbaths in the marshlands. Just a thought.

I would think it's going to be hard for us to figure out where all these bodies came from. Unless, some nice iraqi wants to spill his guts and tell the truth.

A book showing the dead bodies of what is thought to be Iraqis, discovered along with human remains found by British forces, is seen at an abandoned Iraqi base near the city of Basra in southern Iraq (news - web sites), April 5, 2003. The remains were found in what appears to be a makeshift morgue on the outskirts of the town of Al Zubayr and it is unclear as to how long they have been there. REUTERS/POOL/Dan Chung

A soldier holds up a book with a list of what is though to be names, discovered along with human remains found by British forces, at an abandoned Iraqi base near the city of Basra in southern Iraq (news - web sites), April 5, 2003. The United States said its troops thrust into Baghdad for the first time on Saturday, taking the 17-day-old war to topple President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) right into his battered capital.

"I'd sure love to see the liberals eat crow..."

...when confronted with Socialism In Action???


Hahaha. Fugeddaboudit!

You can't reason a man out of a position he didn't come to by reason.

That first photo... is the larger one actually a human face? I'm afraid it might be but it's so distorted I can't be sure.... man, if it is, this needs to be seen. Or maybe not. Nightmares.

I believe so, but it's very gruesome. You can click the picture for a larger view.
