No, the fact that he was only tried for 148 suggests that the 400,000 bodies found is bull****. As the British government admitted. Anti-Hussein propoganda to shore up support for the war when no WMDs were found.

I want to be sure this is the argument you are attempting to make here in your ludicrous condescending remarks.

That is wise.

My answer did not imply that Saddam was tried and executed for the thousands buried in mass graves; my answer was that these graves were indeed his handiwork contrary to the absurd apologist remarks that they were "normal" burials.
Why would anyone care what he was tried and executed for except perhaps the extremist apologists for his atrocities, those same apologists for despots who want to portray Bush and this administration as being worse?

If he supposedly murdered hundreds of thousands as the neocons claim, it would be nice to see proof of it.
After all, its not like they were exactly honest about just about everything else about Iraq.

What deeply uninformed and ignorant existence does one need to wallow in to come with such abject nonsense is what I have to ask?

I call it the truth. What do you call it?

I guess the holocaust never happened either.

There's lots of hard evidence for it.
Here's a few of the atrocities he wasn't convicted of that apparently do not exist in your warped world of denial:

Mass grave unearthed in Iraq
Wednesday, October 13, 2004
Many of the bodies found at the site near al-Hatra are believed to be the bodies of Kurdish women and children thought slaughtered by the Saddam Hussein regime.
"It is my personal opinion that this is a killing field," Kehoe told reporters during a visit to the site south of Mosul.
CNN.com - Mass grave unearthed in Iraq - Oct 13, 2004 |
From the article:
The first trench contains the remains of women and children, and the second contains the remains of men only. More than 100 bodies have been found from the first location and a similar number from the other.
So apparently a couple hundred were found.

'Mass grave' found in Iraq
Kurdish officials say they have found a series of mostly unmarked graves that contain about 2,000 bodies outside the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
They say the area was used by the Iraqi army to bury Kurds they killed in the late 1980s.
During that period at least 100,000 Kurds were killed in Saddam Hussein's policy of ethnic cleansing in Iraq.

Some 290 Grave Sites Have Been Found Since U.S. Invasion
BAGHDAD (CBS) ― Several mass graves have been recently discovered in Iraq, including one site holding an estimated 5,000 soldiers massacred after a failed uprising against Saddam Hussein after the 1991 Persian Gulf war, Iraqi officials say.
At least 290 grave sites containing some 300,000 bodies have been found since the American invasion two years ago, Iraqi officials tell the Times. The most recent sites, if the estimates are accurate, are among the largest.

The assertion that 300,000 bodies have been found has to be wrong; like Blair's claims to the same effect. Shoddy reporting or writing, based on earlier reports of estimates.

New mass grave found in Iraq
Sun, 30 Mar 2008 12:29:27
American troops and Iraqis have unearthed fourteen badly decomposed bodies in a mass grave northeast of Baghdad, the US military says.
The mass grave was only 100 meters away from one found on Thursday containing the corpses of 37 people, with the bodies showing signs of torture.

You somehow forgot the last sentence when you clipped this report:
The military said the bodies appeared to have been in the grave for periods ranging from two to six months.
That would make it kind of hard to say Hussein did it, wouldn't it?
Quote:
Yes of course, these are just NECON subsidiaries of Fox News trying to impugn the good nature of Saddam and his two sons along with the other BUTCHERS of his cabinet.
Good lord, you have to wonder what the state of education in the world is to see such ignorance professed on the internet.
