It is believed that the babies were buried alive.This is from May 4, 2003 story in Kurdish Media speaking about a mass grave found in Kirkuk. I have not yet been able to substantiate this story, although I do not currently doubt the truth* of it. Although such is alarming, I only bring it up because I saw this reaction:
So, who's still angry that we went to war with Iraq and its despicable regime?at A Small Victory. As that is a popular and widely read blog,** this story is speading and I can envision a groundswell of like-minded people raising one voice, chanting: "Enough is enough. Saddam killed babies!" As the masses begin to unify in applauding the liberation of Iraq from such a godless*** despot, the media and the bloggers can get back to talking about regular stuff, like who killed Laci Peterson or whether Jayson Blair is journalistically qualified to write for the Weekly World News.I don't care if they never find a WoMD within the confines of that country. This is evidence enough that Saddam was the biggest Weapon of Mass Destruction of all.
*It is not as if it was published by the New York Times or the Weekly World News.
**This is an inference I made upon observing the number of comments to each post on the blog.
***I am not a theological scholar by any means, but understand that the Christian and Jewish God is the same as the Islamic Allah. This Supreme Entity would, in my opinion, have smote Saddam down with His Own Hand, had He not already given up on such practice.

However . . . just what if, there is absolutely no truth to the story at all, and that it is the biggest spin yet part of the war effort.
