Another mass grave found in Iraq:
That Saddam sure was a - oops.

Sunni Muslim Mohammed Ahmad Ali walks among some of the 125 graves in a Falluja soccer field that has been hastily converted into a cemetery

Flight from a town where sports fields are graveyards

In Falluja, it's the soccer field that haunts them. Ali Mohammed Nasser, father of six, made himself go and look through the fence before packing his family into a minibus to belt across the desert to Baghdad.

Cross-legged on a cushion in a relative's home, he stared ahead: "There are many shallow graves - maybe 400. The bodies of women, old men and children. Some already buried; in others, the bodies of three children at a time were being cremated. A man who was burning the bodies was shot as he worked - I didn't see who killed him."

...

The director of Falluja's general hospital, Rafie Al-Issawi, told reporters that the estimate of 600 was based on the number of bodies received at four clinics in the town and reports of the dead being buried at two sports fields and in people's homes.

But US marine Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne said in Falluja: "What I think you will find is 95 per cent of them were military age males that were killed in the fighting. The marines are trained to be precise . . . the fact that there are 600 goes back to the fact that the marines are very good at what they do."

Saddam killed his own people. But these aren't "our" people.

2. I still cannot honestly believe they are doing this.
It breaks my heart and scares me to death.

"It just proves that they have come to destroy our country, to steal our oil and to protect Israel."

5. If the Busheviks are allowed to retain the Empire, they'll be coming
after us. Don't doubt it for a second.

The way they are programming their Brownshirts to be heartless, thoughtless Monsters? Why would they be instilling them with the Nazi-like "oppressor as victim mentality" except to keep them conscienceless and "pure of thought" when Crunch Time comes and the are required to act as Nazis, as Soviets?

Dont be surprised like a German Jew in 1938. These Monsters are telegraphing their moves to people aware and with a knowledge of history.

If they steal the election, if we sit home on "Election" Night like Soviets with our faces hanging out while patently phony results stream in...they're coming.

Only a matter of time: Perhaps during the reign of Emperor Jeb, perhaps Emperor Ahnold or even the Mad George P. Caligula, who will rule in 2030 if the Imperial Famly is not stopped and the American Experiment vanishes into history...
