The Detection of Sixteen Dead Bodies in A mass Grave in Falluja
probably belong to American soldiers who were buried in a ditch in the North West sector of the city.

5. Specifics please...
I'm not questioning your opinion or POV. I just want to know the facts/sources that inform it.

Do tell.

4. In a word, yes
With the Bush admin only recently admitting the number of injured, and suppressing images of our war dead returning in coffins, it shouldn't be beyond belief that news like this could be suppressed.

15. Those aren't credible sources either.
prisonplanet is run by a rightwing whack job named Alex Jones.

18. Speaking of "right wing whack jobs"...
Check the OP's history before posting. Just a thought.

9. This is a claim by the "Iraqi Islamic Army".
It's also a month old.
Who are the 16 dead? Who knows?
Mercenaries,locals,soldiers or "folks from outta town"?


:shrug:

10. I believe this could be entirely possible. In fact, even probable. Does
anyone think that the casualty rate in Iraq can be so low the past few weeks? All the bombings and fighting and we're taking only a couple of casualites a day???? If that. No, I doubt that very highly. I think that we're being misled about the death rate in Iraq, just like we were misled about the reasons we attacked the place.

Does anyone really believe that, just before the election, bush* would let the true casualty figures get out?

13. Don't you think
that we'd have heard by now if 16 soldiers were missing and no one had heard from them in six weeks or so? Plus, if this were true, why is the only coverage from obscure news organizations?

14. Do any of you remember that before the war started, Rumsfeld had a plan
to bulldoze US casualties into mass graves in the desert? Threads were posted right here. His "reason" was that that was what they would have to do if Saddam used all those biological WMDs he had lying around all over the place. I'm not saying that confirms this story in any way, but the thread jogged my memory.

I don't think it's likely that 16 American troops would be buried in a mass grave, but 16 "green card" troops hired by the US? I think it's quite possible.

16. I question this. Find a reliable source.
I doubt this is true.

17. And who is albasrah.net?
Do they have the credibility of, say, al Jazeerah?

The head in the 3rd photo down looks, frankly, fake. I think it's made of plastic or papier-mache. The hair certainly doesn't look like that of a body that's been buried.

The bodies further down may be real, but I can't see anything to identify them as American soldiers.

Where are the reports from the German news agency?

19. I guess we will see, they say they have kept the bodies
and will turn them over to the Red Cross. If they do we know it's true, if not than it's probably a lie.
