As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch

By Jay Price and Qasim Zein, McClatchy Newspapers Tue Oct 16, 2:40 PM ET

NAJAF, Iraq — At what's believed to be the world's largest cemetery, where Shiite Muslims aspire to be buried and millions already have been, business isn't good.

A drop in violence around Iraq has cut burials in the huge Wadi al Salam cemetery here by at least one-third in the past six months, and that's cut the pay of thousands of workers who make their living digging graves, washing corpses or selling burial shrouds.

Few people have a better sense of the death rate in Iraq……

The Liberal Media is absolutely desperate because our Victory is at hand in Iraq and if you think that they can go any lower think again.....

[pissant]

ROFLMAO. I cannot believe my eyes.

[TASMANIANRED]

Pi$$ing and moaning because there aren’t enough burials.

Bottom of the barrel.

[jveritas]

Everytime we think that they reached a bottom, they surprise us yet again....

[Disambiguator]

Every silver lining has a cloud, if you’re the DBM.

I can’t believe they published this with a straight face. This reads like Scrappleface or The Onion.

[jveritas]

I did the same when I saw the article, do these idiots realize how pathetic and stupid beyond belief they sound?!

[jveritas]

Nope :)

[Let's Roll]

Even with the warning in the title, I still thought it was satire at first. I mean they are just so friggin’ blatant. I keep forgetting that they really are just that.

Shameless to the max.

[mdittmar]

Boggles the mind don’t it.

[Huck]

Come on. This is the Onion or scrappleface, right?

[Balding_Eagle]

LOL! Unbelievable.

I hope Rush comments, ‘cuz this leaves me nearly speechless

[bajabaja]

Time for job retraining programs?

[Psycho_Bunny]

..............wow

[pissant]

Apparently not. Maybe someone was trying to be funny, I’m not sure.

[jveritas]

No person with an IQ over 80 and does not hate America and President Bush can read this and not be shocked that there are people who can actually write something pathetic beyond belief like this article.

[Huck]

lol. Yeah, the headline says it all. Man o man. I forwarded it along to James Taranto over at opinionjournal.com’s best of the web. I expect this will make it into tomorrow’s blog. too funny. pathetic and sad, but funny. this is satire as reality. amazing.

[jveritas]

I have a good feeling that Rush and other people on our side of the media will have great fun with this article.

[Recovering Hermit]

This is just absolutely sick.

Apparently anything goes when attempting to discredit our President, our Military, and our Country.

We're destroying the Iraqi gravedigger business.

We should pull out immediately, so the death toll can rise to acceptable levels.

I think I’ve seen everything now, jveritas. The enemedia has to write an article about the buriel business being slow in Iraq for a negative story.
