US Mortuary Sees No Let-Up From Iraq War Dead

DOVER, Del. (Reuters) - Nearly a month after Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s capture, American war dead from Iraq (news - web sites) continue to arrive with somber regularity at the wind-swept Air Force base in Delaware that is home to the world's largest mortuary.

The remains of the fallen, wrapped in body bags and encased in ice-laden metal transfer cases, descend from the sky aboard gray military planes or white civilian Boeing 747s. They are met at the airstrip by an honor guard, chaplain and small motorcade of blue vans.

Hmmm, Reuters is using the term "body bag" instead of "transfer tube." I'm guessing Rove will be on this as soon as he gets out of church. ;)

3. Oh, God.

We truly are just cannon fodder to the powerful. This is making me cry.

2. "Look at the headlines. Casualties were on page one every day."

"Now they're drifting back to page four or page five."

Another compassionate statement, brought to you by the Heritage Foundation.

8. Hooray for our Whore Media

With big stories like Jacko and awesome new TV shows starring Paris Hilton, who cares about our young men and women dying in some corrupt war for oil?

4. There's still the little matter of the mass graves in Iraq - with

US soldiers bodies in them. Remember the photographer that "accidently" got shot a couple weeks ago? He was doing an article about all the mass graves of US soldiers. No one else picked up on it after he was killed. Then other places have said that the death toll is only of US soldiers - the 20% who are in the military to get their citizenship are not counted. This could be the worst war coverup ever. It's starting to make Vietman look clean.

5. Damn.

I guess they even have various levels of cannon fodder.

6. "White civilian Boeing 747s?" Could it be Southern Air?

Southern Air is the successor to the CIA's Southern Air Transport. Southern Air Transport was the successor to Air America.

7. It's a good thing

that they got that nice shiny new mortuary up and running. Nothing but the best for American soldiers.:mad:
