New mass grave discovered
2004-12-14
INVESTIGATORS had discovered a new mass grave in Iraq, near the city of Sulaimaniya in the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq, interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said today. Mr Allawi told Iraq's National Council that the grave, which may contain around 500 bodies, had been discovered today, but gave no further details.

#7  Wouldn't be just Turkey, 2B. Figure Syria to the West taking Sunni portions under 'protection' and what part of Iraq's south that the Saudis didn't control, becoming an Iranian version of Lebanon.

#6  I used to believe that we would have been much better off to divide Iraq up into three states, Shia, Sunni and Kurd. But now I think I was wrong. Alone, they would not have been safe from Turkish aggression to remove the threat Turkey perceives from an Independent Kurdistan. Yippy The Dogman would have, IMHO, seen opportunity to eliminate "The Kurd Problem" and to grab those oil fields. I now believe the Kurds are much stronger and better off within the larger republic of Iraq.

#5  The Iraqi Kurd prefers kickin' up on 'is back, surrounded by two, three thousand of 'is mates. They're pinin' for the fjords!

#4  These must have been those children playing in a field and flying kites that Mike Al-Moore found (oops, right - he didn't have the courage to actually go to Iraq - my bad..). We haven't found them anywhere else.

I'm sure the MSM will be all over this just as they finish with soddomizing the prison scandal dead horse and the marine-shooting an 'innocent' terrorists scandal and any other scandals which come along. Tell you what -- I'll call you in about 5 years.... (dont call me).....
