You seem to insinuate that the mass graves were the result of internal suppression by Ba'athists. Many in the foreign media say that these mass graves most likely date back to the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980's.

No.. I'm not insinuating. I'm stating. And so are all of those people desperately sorting through those human bones hoping to find belongings of lost loved ones so they can give them a decent burial.

But you seem to be insinuating that the Iranians were responsible for these massacres, even though they never ever advanced to any distance inside of Iraq.

Or maybe you're insinuating that Saddam would ship all of those Iraqi corpses a hundred miles to the rear rather than bury them where they died. Like the Baathists would be able to explain away to the families of those soldiers how they just "disappeared".

Again Raymond, you continue to scrape the bottom of the barrel of human excuses for denying obvious holocausts. I'm sure the Nazis trained you well.

Btw, I don't see you providing any documentation on those "foreign sources". Are they, per chance, in French, German, or Russian?

As for Private Lynch, I don't see the big deal. Delta Force planned a military mission and were unwilling to take chances that they might be stepping into a trap. When engaging in such operations, it is not acceptable to take unecessary chances on the belief you'll receive a friendly reception.

However, I would suggest that we pay for the doors they busted down.
