... Lt. Gen. David McKiernan, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said a more thorough search of the site in the upscale Mansur neighborhood of Baghdad had begun after intelligence reports suggested human remains were buried under the rubble. ...

Baghdad Bob? Can't be, he's in France.

Bobby: Mrs Huessain, can Sadamm come out and play?

Mrs Huessain: Bobby you know Saddamm has no arms or legs!

Bobby: That's OK. We want him to be the homeplate.

It's DNA time...wouldn't it be sweet if some of the bones belonged to Sadass...

Where are they getting the DNA samples to compare them to? (I mean, besides Dan Rather's blue dress).

...Bones are heard of, but seldom seen,
'Cept each year 'round Halloween.
But I've got a shockeroo,
Right now there's a skeleton locked up inside of you. (Ha-ha-ha)...

Is this one of the sites where a left wing news service said that there were no signs of a bunker after the bombing?

No, the reports of a bunker at the first site bombed the very first night of the war, turned out to be unfounded. This article is about the site bombed toward the end of the war in the Mansour (sp?) neighborhood.

So does that make a new service left-wing? Reporting that, in fact, there was no bunker at the first site bombed?

well - withholding disconnected findings that would not be recognizable as evidence without completion of analysis and interpretation as a whole package - including the explanations they will undoubtably get from Iraqi captives after sufficient conditioning. Once corroborated, these will be the mosting damning proofs of the WMD programs and intentions. Blair seems to smart not to have damn good information before the war and Powell would not lie. Bush had lots of reasons for bouncing Saddam but he does have a knack for coming through with the touchdown pass just when the opposition thinks they have the momentum.

WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THIS BEFORE!!!!

Someone who has been paying closer attention please explain.

[epluribus_2]

Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones....

The chances of those remains being of Saddam and family are still slim. Reports of finding various things in Iraq and down playing the same story the next day seems to be a regular game by the media. Its almost predictable so that when real item come up it will be automaticly discredited.

Bones: "He's dead Jim!"

Bones McCoy?

The WH does not need to (and will not IMO) withhold information in the War on Terrorists for domestic political advantage. The only valid reason is national security and I give them the benefit of the doubt. If otherwise, I think they would be derelict in their duty to the nation.

U.S. Troops Find "Bones" at Saddam Bomb Site

Apparently, the Enterprises 5 year mission to boldly go where no man has gone before has ended and The Enterprise has returned!

[Normal4me]

My thoughts too. Also wouldn't this place be kinda stinky if there were decomposing bodies? I also recall that about 14 persons were reportedly in the building when it went ka-boom.

[epluribus_2]

well I agree, but simply reporting raw data that has not been corroborated has led to numerous false alarms. I bet they have some findings but are doubly and triply checking things before endangering their reputation any more. Bush and Blair would look a lot less confident if they had nothing.

Bones McCoy?

LOL.
We do have a Freeper by that name!
