Not Enough Caskets for the Iraqi Dead

Not Enough Caskets for the Iraqi Dead

Coffin makers are unable to keep up with the demand for caskets in Iraq where tens of people die every day due to the continual armed attacks and bombings.

While casket prices increased due to the ever increasing demand, it is impossible to find caskets for the bodies of the poor and homeless. The price of a coffin varies from between $35 and $50 in Bagdat (Baghdad), in a city where one person dies every hour. Caskets have become a major necessity of the country due to the increasing number of deaths.

1. May DUH-bya and all his cronies...

burn in hell.

[Erika]

2. Agreed 1000%

May his enablers and profiteers share in his destiny and legacy.

3. Does Halliburton make caskets, too?

:puke:

[Erika]

5. I'm sure they do. $5 cost and they'll sell each for $100

They, and Bush, know their priorities. Create a market and then profit from it.

[Frederik]

15. I think it would be appropriate that

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rove, Wolfowitz, Perle, Krauthammer, Judith Miller, Micheal Ledeen, William Kristol, Stephen Cambone, "Scooter" Libby, Doug Feith, Bill O' Lielly, general Boykin and general Geoffrey Miller be sentenced to making caskets for the Iraqis for the rest of their lives.

16. I can whole-heartedly support that kind of sentence!

Ubetcha! :thumbsup:

4. Do you think Brit Hume might want futures in Iraq caskets

in his portfolio? I wonder if he'll give us another stock tip as he shits on the graves of the Bushista war dead.

7. Great line! Btw, waiting for the treason trials (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld,

...Rove) to begin.

13. Don't hold your breath on those treason trials...

Cuz we don't want you to die from asphyxiation.

8. Hey George

How about digging some new mass graves?
They would be a fitting testament to your war crimes.

9. genocide

The war criminals in the White House must be arrested and rendered to the Hague for justice.

[Pachamama]

10. This is what Democracy looks like?

Bush style democracy perhaps... this is just so tragic and sad....

Is this what Bush defines as success in Iraq? :shrug:

[catnhatnh]

11. Casket price futures rose to...

...$61 a barrel Wednesday on supply uncertainty-whoops-wrong story..

[Voltaire99]

12. "One person dead every hour."

This would be a good time to recall that upwards of 70% of Americans and vast majorities in both parties wanted this war.

So there is an abundance of blame to go around.

Withdraw. Pay reparations. Promise never to commit this kind of atrocity again.

[sintax]

14. Whip them into a frenzy

Create an imagined boogey man and of course they will agree to war. And it wasn't just the hyper patriots. The blame and culpability cuts across party lines and those who keep voting 'yes' for the murderous funding are also responsible.

Good Post

17. I wonder if the Chamber of Commerce

has taken note of this new opportunity for their casket makers?:sarcasm:
