Will they be able to determine the causes of death in these cases?
Will these mass graves be the definitive proof after all of SH's possession of WMD?
Just wondering . . .

Will these mass graves be the definitive proof after all of SH's possession of WMD? It is looking more and more like Saddam and his regieme WAS a weapon of mass destruction.

To: knighthawk
They say the victims were young men killed in early April, after the American-led invasion had begun. Too bad we can't ask some of these guys where the WMD are. But dead men tell no tales.

No, "mass destruction" is a highly technical term. Killing 30 million people over 10 to 20 years is just a "Cultural Revolution." Now, an evil "street sweeper" shotgun is a WMD!

Isn't that the sad truth? The general media philosophy is "report it and forget about it." About this topic the liberal media don't choose to editorialize the way they do about those missing WMDs.

Tomorrow the BBC will say the Americans planted the bodies to enhance their image in the world.

The discovery of the existence of the mass graves certainly proves Saddam was a brutal guy (I've never heard anyone argue otherwise), but it does nothing to bolster the argument that the Iraqi regime was an imminent threat to the USA.
Its critical that we turn up the WMDs within the next couple of months.

critical? pink? (just another) brutal guy? no threat to us? barf.
To: TomB
I'd have to think besides "only me", the folks who "supplied" the intel also would like to see themselves and their veracity vindicated as opposed to becoming laughingstocks and having their reputations destroyed.

The mass killing continued right up until the end...
To: mr.pink
The connections to Al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations weren't signs of a threat to the U.S., I suppose.

I belive you are basing you opinions on the hope that, in a couple of months or a couple of years, when an announcement comes that there are or were no WMDs, the world will fall into an earth-shattering snit. Given the attention span of most people, and the good news coming out of the region, the chance of that coming to pass are slim, either because WMDs (or traces of their destruction, precursors, or production facilities) will be found or people just won't care.
