A post over in NEWS about the possibility of using micro chips in the military got my pea brain rolling. A response someone made really.
Now to my questions. Why has our military not found more than that one grave site of Iraqi peoples (the one only held a few hundred bodies)since our government has claimed Saddam was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths?
Also, has anyone else noticed only one civilian personel has been killed since this war has been going on,,NOT another person employed by the private contrators(Haliburton,and spin-off companies) has been injured or killed in this "war",,I find this very unusual.Has anyone else?

smurph,

You really need to do research.

http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/legacyofterror.html

Since the Saddam Hussein regime was overthrown in May, 270 mass graves have been reported. By mid-January, 2004, the number of confirmed sites climbed to fifty-three. Some graves hold a few dozen bodies—their arms lashed together and the bullet holes in the backs of skulls testimony to their execution. Other graves go on for hundreds of meters, densely packed with thousands of bodies.

The number of grave sites is up to 300 now. From the ones I saw they're about the size of a football field.

As to civilians killed, I attended memorial services for Mrs. Villard, killed by mortar fire. She was an Army Civilian Corps member, not contractor.

At http://icasualties.org/oif/Civ.aspx you will find a list of all civilian contractor deaths, including over 113 US civilians.

Now, Sir, I expect a retraction of your statement or an apology, depending on whether your posting is a act of omission or indolence!
inventor,I did not make my post as a proclaimation of FACT,,just a pondering. APLOLOGY for WHAT pray tell? I stated I was just pondering and ASKING others.So there will be no apology,dream on.
Afterall mainstream media sure is avoiding the civilian deaths,and no I did not do any research on the gravesites.IT WAS A MOMENTS THOUGHT TO THE LACK OF HEARING ANYTHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES FROM MAINSTREAM MEDIA! I did say I was just pondering.
So I certain hope you did not sit holding your breath(got my fingers crossed) all night for my response,,I went to bed.
DID I mention I was just pondering the issues,? If i dodn't let me say it,,I was just PONDERING the issues.

Thanks Sassy for the links!
Thanks Sassy and Kims for setting things straight. There have been many mass graves found, when I was there it was not all that uncommon to uncover one when doing our civil work. We found one right next to a hospital! I have lost more than one friend and am glad you found the site to reference.
smurph,

Unfortunately,the lack of press coverage reflects the leftist views of the main stream media since Viet Nam. To report atrocities or articles not reflective of their anti-war stance would conflict with their world views and that view of their editors and publishers.

Madame,

It only takes the simplest of searches to reveal answers to the questions you raised, so some indolence was involved.

i do not buy that ,unless you are trying to say leftists control even Fox reporting.
The atrocities against his(Saddam) peoples has been GWBs main war reasonings. it would seem to me that he and the rights would pounce every opportunity to publicize any and every found evidence of such actions.
and what are the reasonings for so very little being said about the employees of the contractors? They are there working for the rights movement. I would think their numbers of casualties would certainly be mentioned more,or could that be because of how the insurance companies thru Halliburtion and their subsidaries are shafting the employees?

Peas, did you skip pre-school again today to play on mommie's computer...no gold star for you. And such awful(insinuated)language. Somebody should wash your mouth out with soap.

Now go sit in the corner and take a time out. Maybe you can play nice after nap time.

Good Grief... I guess this is the ONE forum that slams people for ASKING questions!!!!

Anyone who is less than 35 years old has to rely on the internet to provide answers to Vietnam... it isnt like actually LIVING it, on a daily basis,... the sites I have read is VERY far from telling the actual truths!!!! It is disgusting when they just put in what they want you to read, and take out the things that happened...

Another thing... I don't think anyone ever said Saddam wasn't a Tyrant... he was, he AND his son's... but why in the world didn't our Illustrious pres. SAY that was why he got us into Iraq instead of the 4-5 LIES he had to tell at first????

smurph asked a valid question... and gets slammed for it... What nice guys you are!!!!

Bet ya don't act that way in real life, LOL... because most people would actually get back into your face for what you "TYPE" here...

Thing is... There are so many dead Iraqians, so many dead Amercans, so many dead British soldiers NOW, and WE have control.... who is the Tyrant now???

By the way, that isn't a question, it was a point... so don't bother answering it, lol.

Peace Brother... I think there are a LOT of people over ths war effort that WANT medals... for nothing but putting our Soldiers where they should NOT be!!!

There are warnings on the table RIGHT now about terrorist attacks right here ON OUR SOIL... but our Troops are in Iraq... so we are basically unarmeee.... forewarned, yet unarmed...

It really is sad that our country has taken this path, AGAINST what everyone WANTS.

kindred at least it is ever so enlightening to see where and how the term "redneck" came about. See lots of it shinning on these forums.
You see there is some fact to what I posted, in that those very things i asked about ARE INDEED being played low-key to the public. Yes I should have investigated myself. It was a spur of the moments pondering those things and I thought someone else might have already done some digging and would share the info,,,,,,,minus the redneck BS. Guess I was wrong.

One could say that our troops work for the contractors. Most American people are still sleeping and hope it will go away on its own.American people better get wise and wake up to what is going on!

One could say that Saddam was a puppet for us the good ol US Of A! When our puppets no longer want to be a puppet, we get rid of them! We Get-er done.
