I wonder how The DemonRats feel about all of these mass graves that are being discovered?Do they still think that "W"had no business taking us to war unless WMDs are discovered??I say that Saddam Hussein is(was)a Weapon of Mass Destruction!!

Although C-SPAN is not as useful as it once was, every now and again they hit one out of the park. They sent a camera crew over to Iraq in mid-June with a USAID delegation. In one segment, they filmed a mass grave site containing some 800 to 900 bodies. An Iraqi volunteer group had carefully uncovered the graves, bundled up any remaining belongings, and were working to get the bodies identified. They were trying to use the new Iraqi media to get the word out. They said that by mid-June, some 51 sites had been uncovered with an estimated 80 to 90 still to be searched.

Iraq is just littered with the bodies of thousands of men, women, children and, yes, babies Hussein and his Baathist thugs slaughtered. They turned the place into one giant weapons dump and slaughterhouse. And yet the Left, ensconced so comfortably in the West, still insist we are the villans for liberating those long-suffering people.

This is NOT a WMD, nor is it tangible evidence of terrorism linkage - therefore - don't expect this to be among tonight's top news stories.

4 years ago we bombed Serbia over supposed Ethnic Cleasning and yet there was not bitchin from the world community. At all. Now we go to Iraq and guess what we found mass graves since pol-pot in Cambodia. Yet the world is bitchin at us for doing the right thing. Go figure...

UPDATE:

A Human Rights Watch represenative (CNN with Blitzer) now says they expect to find about 300,000 mass graves. Unfortunately, the operation is proceeding slowly since the US hasn't lent as much support as needed (his words). When asked about international support for the operation, the representative said that the UN has plenty of forensic experts ready but they aren't being released to Iraq until they know what charges/sentences will be brought against the perpetrators. I can only assume this means that if the death penalty is a possible sentence, the European community doesn't want to participate.
