Getting Excited About Mass Graves
Headline: Saddam-Era Mass Grave Uncovered!!!!!!
This headline dominated the middle of this week. The story outlines how Saddam's mass grave contained 31 people. The people were likely killed during Saddam's bloody suppression of a Shiite uprising in 1991. What an S.O.B Saddam is!!!! Why would he kill all those Shiite people?
Here is some background that you never hear:
During the Gulf War of 1990-91, when the US and its allies pushed Saddam Hussein's forces back out of Kuwait, Bush 1 called on Iraqis to rise up against the dictator. The Shiites took him at his word, launching a popular revolution in the spring of 1991 in which they took control of the southern provinces. However, Bush 1, fearful of a Shiite Islamic republic, then allowed the Baath to crush the revolution, killing tens of thousands. So those courageous revolutionaries were abandoned by the US, left to be slaughtered by Saddam.
All that said, it is a relevant story that Saddam killed those people. He was a brutal, murderous dictator that should not be defended. Hence, I am not defending that animal. I am simply stating how any story relating to the crushed Shiite uprising of 1991 is not very flattering to the US or W's dad....and any semblance of a responsible media would discuss that part of the story. Since it didn't happen, I felt the need to bring it up.
Unrelated: As this year comes to a close, I am baffled. Bush has rebounded in the polls. He has about a 40% approval. That means that 40% of Americans saw Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina.....and still approve of the guy?!?!?! Shocking.

Okay, so that is one reason to not get all excited about those dead bodies from 1991.
Well, what about the fact that way more then 31 people died THIS WEEK in Iraq? We don't have to go back to 1991 to find dead bodies, we can go back to yesterday. Why doesn't FoxNews get that excited everyday?
Chuck,
I feel you pain about the fickle American Public.
I think it depends what drug a bushie took that morning whether he supports or doesnt support old Georgie
Did anyone see Rummy on OReilly??
I wanted to vomit after watching it...he asked OReilly for a minute at the end to speak his mind and started going on about all the good things going on in the world today.
He mentioned the goverment relief efforts for Katrina as a positive!
He also said he dosent get into politics, while clearly going after the anti war foes.
It was just another example of this administrations illusions on what is happening in and outside our country.
I hear you man. It's really wack when people start talking about good things going on in the world. F*ck that!
Here's to the Bushies continuing to take the right drugs!
And word to anonymous posters!
Happy 2006!
Whatever Petie...
I would post anonymous with a last name like that if I were you.
