Meanwhile, the Iraqi people are not getting this news.
When nearly 300 Iraqi exiles, tribal leaders and other would-be politicos met Monday with U.S. officials to plan the nation's future, Iraqis watching television saw a different picture -- street protesters yelling at the delegates, angrily criticizing the Americans and demanding justice for a wide range of grievances.

The images arrived courtesy of Al-Alam television, a 24-hour news channel operated by Iran's state TV and radio network.

The broadcasts are a prime example of how Americans, who won the war against Saddam Hussein so decisively, are so far losing the public relations battle to Iran.

Day after day, Al-Alam gives Iraqi viewers its spin on the country's tumultuous political transition, emphasizing the role of fundamentalist Shiite Islam while portraying the fledgling U.S. administration in the country as a disaster for common Iraqis.

Heck. If we had just waited until the UN was through. We wouldn't have had anyone to liberate and all this fussing would be for naught. But where are the WussyMaleDemocraps?

Another 3000 and they might catch up with Fidel Castro's first year in "office".

Anyone know what this brings the total tally to? Allegedly Saddam has ordered the deaths of over 1 million people over the past 12 years.

They like the guy enough to put a statue up.

Statues today. Tomorrow gulags.

>>Lets see the Liberals ignore this one. <<

Easy.

They won't comment on it. After all, it was the Imperial motives of the U.S.A. that caused them to find these tortured soul's corpses, hence it was wrong and bad. At best they won't mention it at worst, they will say "You found mass graves of Iraqis, many of which who suffered under stifling US Sanctions."

You can't win with these people.

Well, after all, President Bush went to war on the pretense of finding WMD that Saddam claimed didn't exist, and also terrorist connections.....these deaths mean nothing, of course. Remember, Daschole said:

"I’m Saddened, Saddened That This President Failed So Miserably At Diplomacy That We’re Now Forced To War. Saddened That We Have To Give Up One Life Because This President Couldn’t Create The Kind Of Diplomatic Effort That Was So Critical For Our Country."

Funny, though, how Dashcole hasn't said how "saddened" he is over finding remains of hundreds of thousands in mass graves.

If the libs could ignore the 10 million killed by Stalin ignoring 15k is child's play.

Lenin's 5 million

PLUS

Stalin's 20 million.
