6. they use bulldozers
Edited on Fri Apr-30-04 10:22 AM by riverwalker
we did it in the first Gulf War for mass burials. This time, we had lots of bulldozers over there in anticipation of mass burials of our own troops in case of bio/chem attacks. I am sure we are using them again to bury Iraqis. Unlike this account, from Ramsey Clarke's book "War Crimes" I hope they will at least make sure they are dead before they bury them.

""War is hell," was Defense Department spokesman Pete Williams' comment confirming that huge U.S. Army earth movers had buried alive up to 8,000 Iraqi soldiers. By Army accounts they were in trenches and desperately trying to surrender and incapable of mounting any resistance. This revelation, recently reported-as these lines were written-by Patrick Sloyan in the New York Newsday , demonstrates yet another violation of international conventions on combat. The resulting mass graves violate even the responsibility of the commanding officer to attempt to provide an accounting for the dead among enemy soldiers. The Pentagon has refused even to notify the Red Cross about the location of these mass graves."
