Embedded Reporters A Good Idea. In some respects, this has been a ghost war. We know that 125 Americans were killed. We know that there are about 6,400 Iraqi prisoners of war. How many Iraqi civilians were killed? How many Iraqi soldiers were killed? This we don’t know. We were told there were fierce battles here and there. Where are the corpses? Either there are thousands of Iraqi bodies lying around rotting, or 400,000 or so Iraqi soldiers are not dead, wounded or in custody. Where are they? Did they just go home? Did they take their personal weapons with them? What are their plans? [Charley Reese]
This is something I’ve been wondering about too. Before the invasion started the Crusaders were claiming that the Iraqi soldiers would all surrender, but that didn’t happen. So where are they?
When some Iraqis defied the Crusader’s script and fought back, the Crusaders claimed that they were Republican Guard and Feddayeen loyalists who were only fighting because they would be killed by the Iraqi people if they lost. And yet, they stopped fighting abruptly and there have been no stories of thousands of corpses mysteriously appearing. So what happened to them?
